Gap's Project RED, has enlisted editor and stylist Katie Grand to recruit a host of creatives for the new Gap collection. Set to launch in early December,
designers such as of Giles Deacon, Proenza Schouler, Pierre Hardy and Stephen Jones have reworked iconic designs to commemorate World AIDS Day. Among the limited edition collection is Mulberry's Roxanne bag remade in sweatshirt jersey.
Half of profits will fund anti-retroviral drugs for women and children affected by AIDS and HIV in Africa. The collection will be available from flagship Gap stores in London and Paris as well as Dover Street Market and Colette from December 1. RED was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT)RED product sold is given to The Global Fund. The money helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. |
