Mission Statement

Designers against Aids (DAA) is a non-profit that was founded in 2004  to raise HIV/AIDS awareness in the international media and towards the general public, more specifically towards young people in the industrialised countries, using elements from popculture.

 

We do this by asking famous and emerging fashion designers, musicians, artists and other celebrities to create designs that we then print on garments, condom boxes, ringbinders, etc and we also take part in collaborations, most recently with H&M in the celeb-driven 'Fashion against AIDS' collection that was sold in 30 countries worldwide. The DAA logo -that's part of every item- features our website url, enabling people to find recent information on HIV/AIDS.

On May 8th we will organise our own DAA night at the multicultural & free Mano Mundo festival in Boom near Antwerp in Belgium, where 80.000 people are expected over the weekend (www.manomundo.be). Apart from seeing bands and DJ's from all over the world, people can learn about various good causes (HIV/AIDS, ecology, development issues, equal rights...), pose for our photo shoot, purchase condoms for next to nothing, discover the World Village, enjoy exotic food & drinks and generally have a great time. We hope to see you there!
