Rihanna and H&M Design a Collection That Gives Back!

The holiday season is in full swing, so there's no better time to help others that are less fortunate. Pop princess Rihanna is doing just that by spearheading a new "Fashion Against Aids" campaign for H&M. The brand is launching a special collection of T-Shirts, tank tops and hooded sweaters starting in February 2008 that are designed by artists like the aforementioned Rihanna, Good Charlotte and Timbaland, and 25 percent of the proceeds from the line will go to HIV/AIDS prevention projects around the world. Prices vary from to $12.90 to $34.90, and all of the garments are made from 100% organic cotton and carry a tag that reads: “This might be the most important piece of clothing you’ve ever had your hands on.”

A teenager herself, Rihanna's involvement in the line is really important, because every fifteen seconds someone in the 15-24 age group contracts HIV/AIDS. "I love that H&M is providing a fashionable and easy way for young people all over the world to get involved in this worthy cause," Rihanna says. And here's a sneak peak of the starlet in the top she designed!
