Timbaland, Justice and Others Design T-shirts for AIDS Relief

H&M’s jumping on the philanthropic celebrity apparel bandwagon, unveiling their new “Fashion Against AIDS” line of t-shirts for Spring. Wonderful idea, terrible name. Though, I’d much rather grab one of these shirts than the Gap “(RED)” products which all feature, wait for it… the word “red” in them. Get it?! So clever. Below are a few of the musician-designed T's -- some hot, some not.

Chicks on Speed

Since CoS met in fashion school, I should hold them to higher standards. The tank is a little new-wavy and a little freaky – just like them, OMG!



Justice

I’m confused. By the picture I can’t tell if the Cross Bling is part of the graphic or some accessory -- same with the dizzying checkered cross-adorned vest. Hey, did you know Justice put out an album called “Cross”. Hooray for borrowed iconography... so PoMo.


Scissor Sisters

Ew. Stick to Elton John dance-pop. The graphic is clunky, way too big, and reminds me of some bad 90’s concert T’s I bought.

Tiga

Electro dude Tiga’s got THREE different hoodies -- Grey, Blue and Pink. Vertigo-inducing hoodies are all the rage for some reason but they’re all pretty fugly to me. These, on the other hand, are pretty rad.

Timbaland

Timbaland’s T features Timbaland's face on it. It also has an AIDS ribbon that reads “Super Producer”. Subtlety was never Timba’s forté.


Ziggy Marley

Ziggy Marley: International Reggae cliché ambassador.

Oh, there’s also sweet designs from Rihanna, Rufus Wainwright, Henrik Vibskov and others.
