Julia Roberts and Giorgio Armani Collaborate for a Good Cause

Julia Roberts is teaming up with Italian designer Giorgio Armani to create t-shirts supporting the (PRODUCT) RED initiative. The shirts will be for both women and men and will be sold through the Emporio Armani brand. They will be available in grey, white, black and red and will feature the tree of life motif that Julia Roberts created last year in her first collaboration with the designer, when back in December of 2007, the duo created bracelets for the good cause. 40 percent of the gross profit margin of the shirts will go towards the Global Fund, in support of AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria programs in Africa. Roberts specifically requested that the t-shirts will be made in Africa as well. Armani, in great admiration of the talented actress says, “Julia has helped to create beautiful and unique designs for both women and men, which will be a visible reminder of the part that we can all play in fighting AIDS in Africa. I adore working with Julia and appreciate, once again, how she always stands by my side in important collaborations such as this.”

We can show our support for this important cause by buying the shirts when they hit stored in September for the price of $125. They will also be available online at http://emporioarmani.com.
