Designer Manufactures Condom Shirt

An Indian fashion designer has designed a shirt covered in condoms to promote the idea of safer sex.

M.A. Rahman sent the shirt to the secretary general of the UN, the Austrian Times reports.

Rahman said: “AIDS has killed more than 25 million people so far and an estimated 33.2 million people worldwide live with HIV. The world need more awareness campaign for the protection from this deadly virus.

“I hope that my condom Kurta shirt, a traditional Indian shirt, will encourage people to think about protection against unsafe sex.”

He added: “The UN thanked me via email and encouraged by this I also approached the health minister of India – but they didn’t pay any attention to me.”

Rahman used 1,025 condoms in each shirt, with some stitched to the front and an emergency supply included in the collar.

So what do you think of the shirt (above) A good look? Would you wear that on the regular?

Regardless of what you think of the actual shirt, using fashion to promote safe sex is a big step in recognise the risk of HIV and other STD’s – Do you think there is space for other brands/fashion designers to spread positive messages of sexual health?
