Harper’s Bazaar charity t-shirts

Monthly glossy magazine Harper’s Bazaar is teaming up with London fashion boutique Browns for its third annual t-shirt project to raise money and awareness for Women for Women International, a charity helping women whose lives have been ravaged by war.

This year’s campaign has brought together top French fashion designers: Chloé’s Clare Waight Keller, Martine Sitbon of Rue du Mail, Isabel Marant, Vanessa Bruno, Nathalie Rykiel, president and artistic director of Sonia Rykiel, and Agnes B – who have all designed an exclusive t-shirt, which will be sold as part of the project through Browns in London and selected boutiques worldwide from this week.

Each t-shirt costs £40 and while they make a fashionable statement they also highlight the worthy cause. Whether it’s Marant’s arresting call to arms, the rainbow hues of Chloé’s solidarity affirmation or the smudged lipstick print and Women for Women written in French from Nathalie Rykiel.

Harper’s Bazaar Editor Lucy Yeomans says: “We are delighted to be able to support Women for Women International through our t-shirt project - this will be our third year. It is wonderful that once again Joan Burstein and Browns have been able to partner with us to create these beautiful t-shirts that I am sure will be a sell out. Thank you to our brilliant French designers who have all contributed time and energy into making this year’s project the biggest yet.”

Bazaar’s ‘Women for Women’ T-shirt campaign, which first launched in 2010 with English fashion designers and sold through Net-a-Porter, was then followed by top Italian designers in 2011, and this year marks the second time Harper’s Bazaar and Browns have worked together to raise funds for Women for Women International.
