H&M is
partnering with Designers Against AIDS and a group of
musicians to create a clothing collection for men and women.
Artists who
offered their design services for free include Rihanna,
Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, the Cardigans,
Tiga, and Ziggy Marley. Twenty-five percent of the
proceeds from the Fashion Against AIDS are planned to
go to international HIV/AIDS prevention projects.
"Supporting
YouthAIDS through the Fashion Against AIDS campaign was a
great way to encourage my fans to join me in the fight
against HIV/AIDS,"Rihanna said in a press
release. "I love that H&M is providing a
fashionable and easy way for young people all over the
world to get involved in this worthy cause."
Fashion Against
AIDS products will be available beginning in February.
