So I was chatting to my Mum earlier on, and she said ‘Did you see that Vivienne Westwood t-shirt for Haiti? it’s got boobs on it’ .. aghast at the fact my Mother of all people knew about a Vivienne Westwood t-shirt before I did, I quickly found it on the trusty interwebs.

Vivienne Westwood has designed a limited edition t-shirt in collaboration with Fashion For Relief which will be unveiled at the Fashion for Relief show to be held on 18 February in London. The t-shirt will be sold exclusively at the show as well as on www.viviennewestwoodonline.co.uk and in the Vivienne Westwood Conduit Street and World’s End stores. It is a fact that women and girls are particularly vulnerable in emergency and crisis situations and are frequently neglected during initial efforts to provide food, water and shelter. Late this January a UN report stated that in Haiti 240,000 pregnant and lactating women will require nutritional support. Proceeds from the sales of the Vivienne Westwood designed t-shirt will go to The White Ribbon Alliance which supports the health needs and rights of women and girls around the world, with special focus on its partners in Haiti at this time who are helping to rebuild the healthcare system for mothers and babies.
