While countless celebrities have joined the fashion world recently (um, yeah, Kings of Leon just launched a line too), here’s an example of two that are doing so for an actual purpose besides furthering their own fame: Courteney Cox and David Arquette created a line of jewelry with Satya to benefit their good friend’s son, Brendon, who suffers from Epidermolysis Bullosa. “We were not aware of the condition until it affected us personally but, of course, once we got to know this incredible child we wanted to do whatever we could to help,” said David. The couple worked with Satya to create a line of butterfly jewelry, which will benefit those affected by the disease. Shop it here. [British Vogue]

I think it’s great that they’re bringing attention to this. I’d never heard of it until I met my friend’s 7 year old cousin. He has a pretty severe form of epidermolysis bullosa and it is absolutely heartbreaking. He lives off of PediaSure, because swallowing any sort of food will make his esophagus blister and scar over, and his fingers are starting to fuse back together despite 2 surgeries to separate them.
