H&M Launches Fashion Against AIDS

H&M and Designers Against AIDS (DAA) are joining forces in the battle against AIDS with a collection that will be available in H&M’s Divided departments from February 2008.  The artists taking part in “Fashion Against AIDS” are Rihanna, Chicks on Speed, Good Charlotte, Henrik Vibskov, Jade Jagger, Katharine Hamnett, My Chemical Romance, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, The Cardigans, Tiga, Timbaland and Ziggy Marley.

The initiative for this collaborative venture was taken by Designers Against AIDS (DAA), a non-profit organisation that seeks to mould public opinion through collaboration with fashion designers, musicians and other artists.  25 per cent of the proceeds from the collection will go to HIV/AIDS-prevention projects around the world.
