"What would it take to ensure that no child is born with HIV by December 31, 2015? An organization called Born Free, championed by the likes of Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, is working steadily toward that goal with the assistance of one very talented Kenyan artist.

That\u2019s exactly why visual artist Wangechi Mutu was tapped to create vivid, unique artwork, which fashion designers such as Donatella Versace, Tory Burch, and Stella McCartney then used to make everything from onesies to handbags to dresses.
