The Charitable Digital Death of Celebrities

 

 

Artists and celebrities including Alicia Keys, Lady Gaga, Daphne Guinness, Janelle Monáe, David LaChapelle, Elijah Wood, Kim Kardashian, Justin Timberlake, The Buried Life, Jay Sean, Swiss Beatz and Serena Williams are giving away their life to raise awareness about AIDS. Their digital social life, that is.

 

 

In commemoration of World AIDS Day 2010, which is today, these artists will die online. No Facebook, no twitter, no new music or photos. The death will go on until $1 Million has been donated to the AIDS charity Keep a Child Alive. Go to Buy Life to donate for this very worthy cause and bring your favorite artist back to digital life.

Christopher Kane’s Cosmic SS11 Menswear Collection

 

 

Interview magazine unveils the Christopher Kane Spring/Summer 2011 men's collection in a shoot by Alex Sainsbury. The London-based designer tells the magazine of his debut menswear effort, "I became obsessed with the explosions and landscapes from space pictures. I loved the colors and unbelievable detail. I printed them onto simple shapes like loose-fit t-shirts, cashmere and silk mix knit sweaters, and cardigans. Tailoring came in the shape of soft black leather suit jackets with zip detail and sporty leather shorts." 

 

 

The shoot features models Tom Lander, Callum Wilson, Danny Arter, Jamel Gordon-Lynch, James Ross, Joe Fleming and Felix with styling by John McCarty. Note, only the tops are by Christopher Kane. The models wear trousers by Levi’s, Wrangler, Burberry and Acne.
