Lady Gaga and Karl Lagerfeld have teamed up to create charity t-shirts for Japan.
The eccentric pop star and the Chanel designer are among a host of celebrities who have collaborated with Uniqlo and Conde Nast Japan to design 10 t-shirts with profits going to the Japanese Red Cross, which is working to alleviate the impact of the earthquake and tsunami on the country in March.
Other stars who have gotten involved include Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Alber Elbaz, Cyndi Lauper and Victoria Beckham.
Blake Lively – who was recently named the face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag range – and Uniqlo brand representatives Charlize Theron and Orlando Bloom have also designed t-shirts for the initiative.
The creations will go on sale on June 25 with Uniqlo expecting to donate profits of $1.2 million to the fund.
This is not the first time Uniqlo has donated to the Japan cause, Tadashi Yanai, chairman and chief executive officer of Uniqlo’s parent company Fast Retailing Co. Ltd., has personally donated $12 million, with the retailer also sending $8.5 million in clothes and $3.6 million in funds immediately after the disaster.

Expecting mother Cate Blanchett looks lovely in a sparkling black lace tiered gown at the lighting ceremony Tuesday in Tokyo, Japan of the new Giorgio Armani flagship store. Doesn’t it seem like just about every celebrity’s pregnant these days? And Cate Blanchett certainly does seem to have that special glow about her. She’s pictured with Giorgio Armani himself, who seems very proud of himself and a little short next to Cate. Armani Tower, located in the central shopping area of Tokyo, is 11-stories high with 2 basement floors, and provides its own brands as well as a spa and cafes.
Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton attended a press party today at Club XROSS in Tokyo, Japan to announce the launch of the new Samantha ThavasaChristmas collection. The Hilton Sisters have been promotion models of the company for the past five years and are visiting Japan again for the first time in two years. I’m glad that they are using both sisters instead of just the bigger celebrity Paris. I like Nicky’s style much better–she looks so much more classy and sophisticated. And her collection that debuted during L.A. Fashion Week was really well done–I hope her career takes off and she doesn’t gain the same reputation as her sister. Although I do like Paris’ sequin dress, paired with the striped tights is too much–just let the dress speak for itself. What do you think?
