Actress Julia Roberts has teamed up with designer Giorgio Armani to design a new T-shirt for Bono's (Product) Red line. The t-shirt is for both men and women and is sold for $125.
The Tree of Life inspired t-shirts are all produced in Africa. 40 percent of the gross profit goes to The Global Fund for AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria programs in Africa.
