H&M and Designers Against AIDS (DAA) are joining forces in the battle against AIDS and are launching a collection for guys and girls together with Rihanna, Timbaland, Chicks on Speed, Good Charlotte, Henrik Vibskov, Jade Jagger, Katharine Hamnett, My Chemical Romance, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, The Cardigans, Tiga and Ziggy Marley. The aim is to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS, which affects many young people all over the world. The collection “Fashion Against AIDS” will be available in H&M’s Divided departments from February 2008.
The artists participate free of charge and 25 per cent of the proceeds from the collection will go to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world. This will be coordinated by DAA and YouthAIDS, Population Services International’s (PSI) HIV/AIDS prevention initiative which reaches more than 600 million young people in 60 countries.
Prices vary from £7.99 to £19.99. All garments are made from 100 per cent certified organic cotton and carry a special hang tag that reads: “This might be the most important piece of clothing you’ve ever had your hands on.”

Posted By: Adrian. The Esoteric | December 20th, 2007 at 1:40 pmour society is abusing the word “charity”, if HM has the money, why don’t they just donate it to schools so they can have proper sex education programs for teenagers( and their family, becoz some frequent news i hear daily is parents against how sex education offend their religion and motivates kids to have sex). I see no point of spreading the word by everyone on the street wearing a “use a condom” t-shirt. and I believe any disease is part of natural selection. Becareful about the word PROCEED, it could mean 25% of the profit goes to the charity, which means HM obtain 75% of sales profit, and the designers worked free of charge. so what kind of charity event are they running??i would never buy any of these charity items, same goes with my beloved gucci for unicef stuff, and cartier, etc. If i have the money, i will donate to the charity directly, but even this, can’t guarantee all my money goes to the needed. Charity are non-profit, but they don’t work for free.

Posted By: M3lz | December 21st, 2007 at 9:41 pmOh wow…can you please stop complaining..? Wat are YOU giving back to the less fortunate or do you sit all day long behind your fashionable laptop explaining to people how very little of the percentages actually go to the cause..?
Posted By: nimi | December 21st, 2007 at 10:25 pmI think it’s great for a company like H&M with sales of million dollars a year to get involved in a widespread problem..just think about how many H&M-stores reside all over the world and think about the many items of this campaign sold: you can’t call that little..all together that’s a whole lot of money..!
And please, please stop the ‘natural-selection’ BS…because that’s what it is…so what, we should just sit back and do nothing..??!
I need the Good Charlotte one.

Just because it’s a ‘Men’s Tee’ doesn’t mean women can’t wear it.

Posted By: Rebecca | February 29th, 2008 at 4:55 pmMust find a way to get them..
Don’t complain about the mcr shirt being for guys. Just buy it anyway.
Posted By: Revv | March 13th, 2008 at 1:18 pmI mean seriously no ones actually going to care.
Personally I find that mens shirts are much nicer than girls shirts…not to mention at gigs skinny fit is always more expensive.
I can’t find ANYWHERE that sells that chicks on speed top online. H&Ms website is actually shit.
Posted By: Sammie | December 19th, 2008 at 11:56 amI love that MCR one! I am so buying it I don’t care if it is for guys. I love all their stuff!!!
