H&M is teaming up with a number of different artists such as Cyndi Lauper, Yoko Ono and Dangerous Muse to design a series of tee’s that will be used to raise money for the fight against AIDS. The shirts will be released at over 1,000 H&M locations, and from what I can see the shirts don’t look half bad.

Yes this sounds bad, but at least it’s for a good cause. Following it’s launch in December of the Emporio Armani (Product) Red bracelet, which bore Roberts’ tree of life design, on Thursday the Emporio Armani online store introduced matching men’s and women’s T-shirts featuring Roberts’ design in three colors: red, black and gray.
“Julia has helped to create beautiful and unique designs for both women and men, which will be a visible reminder of the part that we can all play in fighting AIDS in Africa,” Armani said. This latest (Product) Red offering from Emporio Armani, set to hit stores in September, costs $125 for both men’s and women’s models, with 40 percent of the gross profit margin going to The Global Fund, which finances AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria programs in Africa. In a further gesture of solidarity, the actress requested the Ts be made exclusively in Africa.
