Press release after the jump…

H&M’S STAR-STUDDED FASHION AGAINST AIDS COLLECTION

Artists from the worlds of film and music are supporting Fashion Against AIDS (FAA) this Spring, H&M’s and Designers Against AIDS’s (DAA) mutual initiative to help spread the message of safe sex and HIV/AIDS prevention to young people around the globe.

Selma Blair, Penn Badgley, Keri Hilson, Sky Ferreira, Akon, Nikki Reed, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scissor Sisters, Shiloh Fernandez and The Misshapes are among the celebrities involved in this year’s FAA collection, which for 2011 is a unisex range. The collection is available online and in H&M’s Divided department from April 26th, with 25% of sales donated to the charity Designers Against AIDS (DAA) and various other international HIV/AIDS prevention projects. The FAA campaigns have so far raised more than 41 million Swedish krona. The talent for the campaign was aligned by international talent brand agency Above & Beyond Talent Group (@AAB_TALENTGROUP) who handle talent branding activities for a galaxy of stars such as Keri Hilson, David Guetta, Keri Hilson, Miguel etc linking them with global brands.

“This campaign is fantastic and its a real honour to work with H&M and DAA. I hope this campaign helps to spread a very important message in a very fashionable way” Daren Dixon CEO Above & Beyond Talent Group

“I think it’s really fitting that this collection is androgynous in style since the disease affects both men and women. It’s a universal thing and we are all in this together. It’s a disease that can be avoided and it’s especially tragic when our ignorance keeps us from safety.” Selma Blair.

“I’ve had a lot of friends who’ve been in the situation where their friends and family have been affected by HIV. As I travel the world, I see how much HIV affects people. It’s not like we have a cure for HIV, we only have prevention. Make sure you are protected so that you don’t ever have to worry about it. Ever.” Akon.

“Artists are an essential part of our campaigns, as they are role models for so many young people. Celebrities help to spread the message by speaking out about HIV/AIDS prevention. We’re asking them to help spread the safe sex message on social media: Twitter, Facebook, their own websites and at their concerts too.” Ninette Murk, founder and creative director, DAA.

When the stars come together for H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS campaign, it really shows this year’s unisex collection at its best. Selma Blair wears a stylish Spring coat over a slogan T-shirt, while Penn Badgley wears an essential hoodie over his T-shirt. Shiloh Fernandez sports a khaki nylon parka, T-shirt and jeans; Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters wears her peach version of the trench as a dress. Singer Keri Hilson has a cool slogan jumpsuit. It’s all so versatile, and all helps spreading the message about HIV/AIDS prevention.

More power to Ms. Hilson for landing such a major gig. More than anything, it’s great to see her promoting such a great cause.

    Keri Hilson has absolutely no style. She comes across so frumpy at times. Maybe she shld switch stylist.

  2. RIHANNA THE SINGING GOAT SLAYER April 4, 2011

    HOTTER THAN FUGYONCE

  3. Coco April 4, 2011

  5. Topman April 4, 2011

  6. UGh April 5, 2011

    i like the pic. she’s pretty

  7. Judge & Jury April 5, 2011

    B**** Keri needs to do something since her music career is going down the toilet as of late. She’ll be redundant in about 2 yrs. She wont last. Might as well follow Rihanna and do some modeling before the career ends. Make the paper before peeps memories fade.

  8. S*** April 5, 2011

    @Judge & Jury

    I think the world you were looking for is IRRELAVANT lol, Not redundant though Skery is THAT TOO!!

  9. theman April 5, 2011

    Lol i guess, she is doing all of this promoting, but what is her album doing
    ? It’s funny how Trent & Sam chooses which artists to talk down about. Your celebrating a single, but not discussing her album. I like Keri but she can come off as a little arrogant. When you act that way you have to have the talent to go off of. She can carry a tune, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it isanything great. Lol @ this though.

  10. ioness April 5, 2011

    gettem keri..her team stays getting her out there..ultimate sneak attack

  11. True Blue April 5, 2011

    @ S***:

    LMAO!!!

    She is indeed a basic b****. I liked her when she first came out, but her s***** singles combined with her two-faced, hypocritical attitude have completely turned me off from her.

    On another note, I find the idea of celebrities as role models completely laughable.

  12. S*** April 5, 2011

    @theman

    For ONCE I AGREE with you…

  13. CURLY SUE April 5, 2011

    3. STOP HATING NONE OF YALL LOOK BETTER THAN THIS CHICK AND YOU KNOW IT

    4. SHE DID NOT CHOOSE THIS OUTFIT OR DID YOU HATERS NOT READ LMFAOO IT SAID THE OUTFIT IS CHOSEN BY THE “DESIGNER”

    5. HER ALBUM IS DOING THE SAME AS IN A PERFECT WORLD WAS DOING SO SHE IS GOOD. SHE WILL GO GOLD.

    6. TO THE IDIOT THAT SAID KERI IS NOT KNOW INTERNATIONALLY. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

    KNOCK YOU DOWN WAS #4 IN EUROPE AND #1 IN AUSTRAILIA AND NEW ZEALAND

    I LIKE WENT #1 IN GERMANY FOR 5 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AND SOLD 700K IN THAT COUNTRY ALONE.

    @BLANCO FAMILY

  21. TYLER April 5, 2011

    @BLANCO FAMILY umm how is he trying to be a model? If you mean her getting sponsored or having endorsements then ALL celebrities do that dummy. Thats how they make their money they dont make their money from album sales. Everybody keep talking about well her album not doing good.. Lets break it down

    Songwriters get $0.75 of the money from the 10.99 cd
    producers get $0.50 for every album sold
    artist get $0.30 for every album sold

    itunes get $4.75 and amazon gets $1.50 the rest goes to the label . So celebs make their money through writting for others are endorsement deals. Yall are so dumb. Learn about the industry before you talk about album sales

  22. CBA April 5, 2011

    I love in the UK and everyone knows her here so SHUT UP! She’s worldwide

  23. QT April 5, 2011

    ( H&M’S STAR-STUDDED FASHION AGAINST A*** COLLECTION)

    H&M has a good cause becuase they are trying to prevent and cure A***/H**.

  27. Linbbyrose April 5, 2011

    Keri Hilson is definitely a talented artist but in order for me to support an artist as a person, I would have to feel like I would be at least able to like that person.
    Keri is arrogant and her attitude kind of sucks, thts my whole issue w/ her.
    It’s like she feels like she’s on top & shes nowhere near legend status, like Beyonce.
    If she get that attitude in check then I will make an effort to support.

  28. kekeluvsu April 6, 2011

    Good for Keri. I mean I don’t generally like the girl after she through a rock and hide her hand about the TMO remix but her team def. has her back 110%. And they are constantly keeping her name out there. So you gotta give credit where it’s due. #imjustsayin.

    And I actually like this outfit on her. But most times Keri does get a WTF from me when she wears clothes.
