No, it's not still Christmas -- but just as more companies are going GREEN for the environment, more companies are going RED in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
Fashion retailer H&M and Designers Against AIDS (DAA) recently launched "Fashion Against AIDS" which hits H&M stores in February 2008.
Rihanna, Ziggy Marley, Timbaland, Good Charlotte, The Cardigans, Rufus Wainwright and MANY others have designed their own shirts for the collection which range from LOUD to more understated.
The idea is to increase young people's awareness of HIV/AIDS with affordable ware: T-shirts, tank tops and hooded sweaters that retail from about $15 to $40. Twenty five percent of sales will benefit global org, YouthAIDS.
Twelve million young people in the 15-24 age group are now infected with the HIV virus.
Every fifteen seconds someone in the 15-24 age group contracts HIV/AIDS.
"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," says 19-year-old Rihanna.
