Event: (Posted-November 30, 2010) Mondo Guerra a designer from project runway, being HIV positive, felt the need to do something special on national AIDS day. Mondo designed two shirts for women that were launched yesterday (December 1st & national AIDS day). The shirts sold will be put towards AIDS research. Every shirt sold, $20 will go to amFAR, a AIDS researching organization. "One shirt shows a tree with a single heart hanging from a branch and the other features a colorful skull in the Day of the Dead theme that dominated Guerra's final collection on the TV show.The Mexican tradition of Day of the Dead isn't about death at all, he says, it's about celebrating the memory of loved ones."
Response: I think that is a great way for project runway designer Guerra to get his name out, and an especially great thing he is doing to support AIDS. When you can create work that can support something so significant and needed, I believe you have accomplished something truly successful. Guerra has done a great job combining two things that are most important to him, and will be looked brightly upon for his helpful hands. I think that if every designer were to support a cause every once in a while, we could really do something great, why not?
