On May 21st 2007 Rafe participated in a charity event to benefit Village Care of New York, a non-profit organization providing healthcare for people living with HIV/AIDS. The event paired Rafe with florist Stephanie Gueldner, owner of Studio Artiflora, to create a headdress combining each designer’s signature style. Rafe decided to make his signature straw bag,
