World AIDS Day Collection by Distinguished Cravat

 Earlier today designer Kate Ross unveiled her current collection of Cravat's in honor of world AIDS Day. This line is more than a fashion statement it's a conscious statement to rally those in opposition to ignorance, to rally those in favor for education, to rally those to care about one another. This line is heart on the sleeve, the one tear shed to help in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
"At this time I would like to announce that Ms. Lolisa Gibson, HIV/AIDS educator, will receive 50% of the proceeds from the W.A.D. Collection, to help her continue to travel the world and educate people from all walks of life about HIV/AIDS. 

At "CRAVAT," it is our commitment to expand the boundaries of fashion, art & philanthropy. As we use the runway as our platform we will teach, impact & elevate the minds of future generations, and this starts with the our Winter 2010 Collection properly entitled W.A.D., (World AIDS Day), Winter 2010-11." - Kate Ross, Distinguished Cravat
