February
Iconic British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood has designed a range of limited edition T-shirts for this year’s Red Nose Day taking place on Friday 18th March 2011. Available exclusively from TK Maxx, all profits from sales of the range will go towards helping people living unimaginably tough lives across the UK and Africa.
A host of celebrities are modelling the T-shirts including Sienna Miller, Ant & Dec and Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh with photographs taken by Bryan Adams (yes, that one!)
The T-shirts are an eclectic collection of striking black and white prints that represent a unique fusion of humour and iconic historical images. The designs feature Rowan Atkinson as ‘Edmund’ & Miranda Richardson as ‘Queenie’ from the Blackadder series, William Shakespeare, The Laughing Audience by Hogarth, a punk girl and a Louis XVI lady. There is also a Pirate Design and a Mother & Baby Elephant especially for children.
All T-shirts feature Comic Relief’s signature Red Nose and the T-shirts have been wholly manufactured in Africa. 100% of the cotton has been sourced from Fairtrade certified organic cotton co-operatives in Mali. This ensures good quality, pesticide and GM free cotton and a fair price to farmers in developing countries.
The collection went on sale on Thursday 3rd February in TK Maxx stores nationwide with prices from £5.99 (for the kids t shirt) to £14.99. Red Nose Day 2011 will be on Friday 18th March.
