French designer Jean Paul Gaultier affixed “Safe Sex Forever” to a floaty T-shirt in his spring 1996 collection, and is now repeating the message on sports socks with the aim of raising awareness of the AIDS cure that remains. hard to reach.
“Safe Sex Forever” are the words that currently appear in bold red on a pair of white cotton sports socks as a fundraiser for the French charity Sidaction.
This organization is responsible for funding research on HIV and AIDS and helping people around the world who are living with the disease.
According to an article published on Ezanime.net, the pieces are limited editions that will be distributed in retail for a cost of 22 euros on the sidaction.jeanpaulgaultier.com website from Friday and at the Tom Greyhound boutique in Paris, with all the proceeds to Sidaction. Think of the socks as an encore to Gaultier’s fun face masks, featuring sailor stripes dotted with a pair of red lips, which raised funds last year.
The article claims that Gaultier lost his partner Francis Menuge to AIDS in 1990 and has been a tireless activist for the cause ever since. The designer recently hosted a virtual version of his annual fundraising gala during haute couture week.
“The fight against AIDS is above all a personal story: this fight is particularly close to my heart. I faced this scourge that took my friend, ”said the designer. “I remember the rejection patients faced at the beginning. It has always disgusted me to know that the whole world could be affected one day. I want to talk to young people and try to raise their awareness because they always think that HIV and AIDS do not concern them ”.
