I personally really like the H&M Fashion Against AIDS collection, so excited to see the latest collection! “H&M is launching its fifth Fashion Against AIDS (FAA) collection, to raise funds and create awareness about HIV/AIDS among the young. Available in around 300 H&M Divided departments from April 26, 2012 as well as online (where available), this year’s collection brings together ethnic influences from different continents.” Great collection and a great cause, 25% of all sales will go directly to a variety of international youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects. Can’t wait till the weather gets warmer and get my hands on some of these pieces! Do you like?

Special prints were commissioned from international artists and illustrators for this collection to create pieces bursting with colour, pattern and authenticity. Whether it be colourful African trims on blouses and bustiers, graphic black and white Maori prints on leggings and crop-tops, or the folkloric Inuit designs from Greenland on draped T-shirts, this year’s FAA collection puts global tribes in a 21st century context. As well as macrame, fringed and dip-dyed pieces for girls and printed T-shirts and cropped harem trousers for guys, the collection also includes fashion accessories such as hats, footwearand jewellery, as well as special pieces such as iPhone cases, festival ponchos, hammocks and plasters.

Back in July, UNIQLO announced the new collaborative project with UNDERCOVER by Jun Takahashi which is slated to release this Spring. For those of you (me included) that are anticipating to see what the collection would look like, here’s a look at the campaign. Quirky campaign, I like! The UU collection is made for everyone and will be debuting in 11 countries on March 16th. I can’t wait to see the full lookbook.

UU: clothing for the families of today. It is the unity of UNIQLO’s high-quality, basic clothing and the UNDERCOVER line of street-influences, high-end fashion. It represents modern family style, and seeks to inspire the world from Tokyo.
