Although utterly adorable, the images are attached to an ambitious and serious goal: the end of HIV from mothers to their children in Africa by December 31st, 2015. To help fund the cause, Born Free Africa is launching a collection featuring [notable designer names](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign) including Victoria Beckham, Diane von Furstenberg, DKNY and Chloe.
