Some of the biggest celebrities from the world of fashion, music and style will be joining H&M and Designers Against AIDS (DAA) for Fashion Against AIDS, to help fight the disease and raise youth awareness. Katy Perry, Dita Von Teese, N.E.R.D and Yoko Ono are among the artists who will collaborate with H&M on designs for T-shirts, T-shirt dresses, vests and bodies. 25% of the sales price will be donated to youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects. The collection, in 100% organic cotton, for both guys and girls will go on sale in H&M’s youth DIVIDED department from May 28 2009.
“The designs have a real 80’s feel to them, there’s lots of white, bright colours and graffiti-like prints. Girls can wear the pieces with mini’s, or worn denim and big jewellery, while boys can team them with coloured jeans or rolled-up chinos – it all adds to that 80s feeling. Fighting AIDS is always of great importance, and H&M is overwhelmed with the enthusiasm and the commitment from each and every celebrity involved in this collection.”
Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M head of design.
“H&M and Fashion Against AIDS are so important to us because we could never reach so many young people on our own. AIDS is still very much a subject that’s vitally important today. People build their attitude towards their sex lives when they’re very young, so it’s important for them to realize that safe sex is a vital part of that as early as possible.”
Ninette Murk, founder, Designers Against AIDS.
For this year’s Fashion Against AIDS collection, the message is loud and clear, with bold slogans and colours as vibrant as the summer. “PROTECTION IS POWER” reads the print from RÓISÍN MURPHY across a T-shirt, wrapped around the front and back of a body, while N.E.R.D uses a clever graphic to shout out “USE YOUR BRAIN” on coloured vests and T-shirts. ESTELLE’s contribution has the slogan “LIFE IS TOO SHORT – HAVE SEX BE SAFE” printed on a vest next to a sassy silhouette of an empowered woman, while KATY PERRY’s clever safe sex message is “IT’S WHAT’S ON THE OUTSIDE THAT COUNTS” on both a body and a cap-sleeved Tee. CYNDI LAUPER’s 80’s feeling design has the words “GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE SAFE SEX” as if scribbled in pink lipstick on a black vest, while YOKO ONO repeats the words “IMAGINE PEACE” in languages from around the world on coloured T-shirts. ROBYN’s feisty statement is “Protect your body” on a T-shirt with printed diamonds, while DITA VON TEESE, already a champion of AIDS causes, offers an alluring image of her iconic red lips and arched brow on a cute cap-sleeved Tee.
“It’s an honor to be asked to take part in this brilliant project. Every little thing that we do as individuals can add up to something that makes a major impact in the fight against HIV. With the purchase of these stylish t-shirts, you can be a part of something that makes a huge difference in this pandemic, while looking super-chic!”

In the UK alone an estimated 80,000 people were living with HIV by the end of 2007. Worryingly, it is estimated that 28% of those were unaware of their HIV positive status. In 2007, at least 7,000 new cases of HIV infection were reported. Fashion Against AIDS fights the assumption that the message about HIV and AIDS is well known. Each new generation needs to be made aware of AIDS to prevent further spread of the disease. With HIV and AIDS, complacency is not an option.
It’s the second year that H&M have teamed up with the charitable organisation Designers Against AIDS to spread the message of safe sex to the young. Last year’s campaign was a stunning success, with over SEK 15 million donated to HIV/AIDS-preventive projects. This year’s beneficiaries are Designers Against AIDS, YouthAIDS, UNFPA and MTV Staying Alive Foundation.

Lovely Dita Parlo (1906-1971) was a star of German and French films of the late 1920s and 1930s, who also worked in Hollywood. She inspired both Dita Von Teese and Madonna, the latter used her name and character from L'Atalante (1934) for her 'Sex' book and 'Erotica' album.
Dita Parlo was born as Gerda Olga Justina Kornstädt in Stettin, Germany (now Szczecin in Poland) in 1906 (some sources say 1908). Her father was a forest ranger. Dita was initially trained as a ballet dancer. Subsequently, she studied acting at the Babelsberg film school in Berlin. There she was discovered for the screen by producer Erich Pommer, and she was signed to a contract with the Ufa studio. She made her first film appearance as the wife of soldier Lars Hanson in the silent war drama Heimkehr / Homecoming (Joe May, 1928). After her film debut, Dita Parlo quickly rose to stardom. Her early Ufa films include Geheimnisse des Orients / Secrets of the Orient (Alexandre Volkoff, 1928) with Nicolas Koline and Iván Petrovich, Die Dame mit der Maske / The Lady with the Mask (Wilhelm Thiele, 1928), and Ungarische Rhapsodie / Hungarian Rhapsody (Hanns Schwarz, 1928), with Willy Fritsch. In Manolescu - Der König der Hochstapler / Manolescu (Victor Tourjansky, 1929), she appeared opposite the legendary Russian film star Ivan Mozzhukhin.
Dita Parlo appeared in the first sound film of the Ufa, Melodie des Herzens / Melody of the Heart (Hanns Schwarz, 1929) opposite Willy Fritsch. In France, she also became popular and appeared in Au bonheur des dames / For the Happiness of Women (Julien Duvivier, 1930), an adaptation of Emile Zola's 1883 novel of the same name. In 1931, she tried her luck in Hollywood. She often appeared in German-speaking versions of American films, and she played parts in the minor films Honor of the Family (Lloyd Bacon, 1931) with Bebe Daniels, and the comedy anthology Mr. Broadway (Johnnie Walker, 1933). The sketch with Parlo in the latter film was taken from an uncompleted film by Edgar G. Ulmer, titled Love's Interlude. This film was begun in 1932 at Peerless Productions. After two years in Hollywood and no success, Dita Parlo moved to Paris. She married a Frenchman and would make only French films for the rest of her career. Later, she was scheduled to appear in the proposed Orson Welles production of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness for RKO Radio Pictures. However, that project did not come to pass, and Welles began work on Citizen Kane.
Dita Parlo starred as a provincial bride aboard a canal barge in the beautiful L'Atalante (Jean Vigo, 1934). She and her ship captain, Jean (Jean Dasté), struggle through marriage as they travel on their barge L'Atalante along with the captain's first mate, Le père Jules (Michel Simon), and a cabin boy. Ben Parker at IMDb: "Finally saw Vigo's L'Atalante, his only feature film, which he reportedly could not complete before his death, and instantly it's one of my top favourite movies and easily one of the best pictures ever made. L'Atalante has everything going for it: it's sexy, romantic and incredibly funny. It's also immensely genuine". Three years later, Dita Parlo played a peasant opposite Jean Gabin in another masterpiece, La grande illusion / The Grand Illusion (Jean Renoir, 1937). Donald J. Lamb at IMDb: "It is a wonder to see a film from the 1930s so definite in its view and opinions, yet so touching and revelatory. Jean Renoir's The Grand Illusion is a film of great importance, one that improves with each viewing." After La grande illusion, Parlo appeared in eight more French films. She featured in the spy film Mademoiselle Docteur / Street of Shadows (G. W. Pabst, 1937). She also co-starred with Erich von Stroheim in the historical drama Ultimatum (Robert Wiene, 1938). It was the final film of Wiene, who had been a leading director of German cinema, particularly noted for his work on expressionist films during the silent era. He died shortly before the film's completion, and it was finished by Robert Siodmak. Following the outbreak of World War II, Dita Parlo was forced to return to Germany because of her nationality. That was the end of her film career. In 1949, she married a priest, Franck Gueutal. During the last thirty years of her life, she worked as a writer and appeared in only three films in small parts. She made her final film appearance as a countess who always wins at gambling in La dame de pique / The Queen of Spades (Léonard Keigel, 1965), based on the story 'Pikovaya dama' by Alexander Pushkin. The countess had previously been given the secret that she can never reveal, and a poor Russian officer (Michel Subor) tries to force her hand with tragic results. Dita Parlo died in 1971 in Paris. She was 65. Parlo left a strong impression on all who caught her work. In 1992, Madonna said she was fascinated by Parlo. Madonna picked her name as an alias while touring and booking into hotels. Madonna took her name again for the character she created for her legendary 'Sex' book and 'Erotica' album. Its title track commences with the line "My name is Dita, I'll be your mistress tonight... ". Burlesque performer Dita Von Teese took her first name also in tribute to Dita Parlo. Musician Steve Adey has a song called 'Dita Parlo' on his studio album 'The Tower of Silence' (2012). The song was written in response to L'Atalante.
