Fashion For Charity: H&M Did Fashion Against AIDS Again

H&M is indeed the highstreet king of collabo! Last month with Matthew Williamson, this month with some other big stars. All in the name of Fashion Against AIDS. This is the second time they did the awareness campaign. Last year they did it with Rihanna and Timbaland (among others). This time around the collection is getting bigger and much more massive. Talking about star power, eh?

So what's hot? The tees are designed by the likes of fashion designer (Katherine Hamnett), singers (Katy Perry, NERD, Moby, Tokio Hotel, Roisin Murphy, Estelle), and other celebs like Yoko Ono and Dita Von Tesse (stripper? mmm....). The tees are supposed to create awareness about AIDS. Buy this tee and quarter of the price will go to the youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects wroldwide. The tee design has a slight retro feel to it with lots of white, bright colors and grafitti-like prints. Some has very bold slogans scareaming the message loud and clear (as if people has eyesight problem!)

Well, as usual I've gone to check 'em, try them and get my verdict on coz the pix in their H&M website always deceiving. To me good T-shirt is always about the sleeves. Too Buzzlightyear means a no, no. Too tight, then I can't get my arms in. And any tee should be worn slightly fit, not too damn loose. Or I'll just wear a raincoat then.

So my verdict? The Moby alien-like man design is cool but too young. The 'eyes' is kinda glow-in-the-dark too. Errkk...not good. And the fabric's too thin. Katherine Hamnett's is OK coz the sleeve and overall fit quite good (eventhough the fabric is kinda washed out). Yoko Ono's is a no, no to me. Tokio Hotel's is the best. Skull print is very in trend. And I love the slogan "ROCKHARD F**KSAFE". Very rock-n-rolla, LOL!

And oh, the tees are made of organic cotton. So, eco and charity..what a great combo!
