Jean Paul Gaultier Designs Limited-Edition 'Safe Sex Forever' Socks for Sidaction's HIV/AIDS Fight

As Sidaction's ambassador since 2020, renowned designer Jean Paul Gaultier has launched a new charitable collaboration, building on the success of last year's "marinière masks." This initiative features a limited-edition pair of collector's socks emblazoned with "SAFE SEX FOREVER," inspired by his Spring-Summer 1996 collection and his lifelong advocacy against the HIV/AIDS virus.

"The fight against AIDS is deeply personal for me," Gaultier shares. "It took my friend and I witnessed the early stigma faced by those affected—a injustice that revolts me, as anyone can be impacted. I want to reach young people and raise awareness, since many believe HIV/AIDS doesn't affect them." Wear your support proudly on your feet.

All proceeds from sales will fund Sidaction's efforts against HIV/AIDS.

JPG x Sidaction socks are available at sidaction.jeanpaulgaultier.com/fr, starting Friday, March 26, and at Tom Greyhound in Paris.
