Designers Against AIDS

Designers Against AIDS (DAA) is a project of non-profit organization, Beauty without Irony that was founded to raise AIDS awareness in the international media and general public.

For 2007, DAA presents a new collection of t-shirts and sweaters designed by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, Playboy Design, Faithless, Katharine Hamnett, Scissor Sisters, The Cardigans, Rogan Gregory, Christophe Coppens and Hemingway Design.
