Last week Cody Ross, the New York based fashion designer behind the label Priestess, contacted us to say that he admired the work of DAA and that he wanted to support us in any way he could think of- and only a few days later we received this video, showing his new unisex designs for Priestess showcased by a boy and a girl (un)dressing themselves, accompanied by a great soundtrack -and a dedication for DAA right at the end of the short film.

This new association represents Flemish people living with HIV/AIDS and advocates for an optimal quality of life for them and their families.

 
We are very happy to collaborate with Clive Rundle, a well-known fashion designer from South Africa. 

One of our sponsors is Carobati, who sell tiles in all shapes, colours and forms and who invited us to compose a special DAA ‘Mosaique’ consisting of Mediterranean inspired shades of blue and green, shot with flecks of copper and silver. 
Great, powerful advertising. Mick Traen has been working mainly as an advertiser and here at DAA we had several chances to experience his genius. 
Today we received an inspiring letter from Madame Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the First Lady of France. 
We are very proud to announce Sandra Deakin, a former lifestyle host at ATV- Anwerp TV, as one of our new spokespersons and ambassadors for Designers against AIDS.
