It’s no secret that wrap-dress queen Diane von Furstenberg is a fan of the High Line (she has donated $35 million to the public park through her Diller–von Furstenberg Family Foundation). So it’s only appropriate that she be the first fashion designer to create merchandise for the former elevated railroad. The limited-edition collection includes men’s and women’s T-shirts, scarves, hats, totes and magnets; but our favorite offerings are these patterned notebooks, adorned with DVF’s original doodles and the phrase "Dreams come true on the High Line" in script. Knowing that 100 percent of the proceeds support the High Line’s ongoing maintenance should get your creative juices flowing.

The creative talents of fashion designers aren’t limited to clothing, shoes and accessories. Household names such as Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Cynthia Rowley, Orla Kiely and Shosanna Gruss have given everyday items, including pencils, notebooks, bandages, soap and toothbrushes, their stylish treatments.
