Yoko Ono, Cyndi Lauper, NERD and many more lovely slebs have designed some splendid T-shirts for this year’s Fashion Against AIDS collection - and they go on sale at H&M this Thursday!
This is what it said on the site of lovely Yoko Ono (yes, we love her. OK? Good): “PROTECTION IS POWER” reads the print from RÓISÍN MURPHY across a T-shirt, wrapped around the front and back of a body, while N.E.R.D uses a clever graphic to shout out “USE YOUR BRAIN” on coloured vests and T-shirts. ESTELLE’s contribution has the slogan “LIFE IS TOO SHORT - HAVE SEX BE SAFE” printed on a vest next to a sassy silhouette of an empowered woman, while KATY PERRY’s clever safe sex message is “IT’S WHAT’S ON THE OUTSIDE THAT COUNTS” on both a body and a cap-sleeved Tee. CYNDI LAUPER’s 80’s feeling design has the words “GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE SAFE SEX” as if scribbled in pink lipstick on a black vest, while YOKO ONO repeats the words “IMAGINE PEACE” in languages from around the world on coloured T-shirts. ROBYN’s feisty statement is “Protect your body” on a T-shirt with printed diamonds, while DITA VON TEESE, already a champion of AIDS causes, offers an alluring image of her iconic red lips and arched brow on a cute cap-sleeved Tee.
One of our favourite art installations of Yoko Ono's was when she had a great big map of the world and invited people to write 'Peace' on a piece of paper and stick it on an area of the world which would benefit from it most.
We like that. So. Hooray.
