The Maison Martin Margiela x Vogue FNO Japan piece is one of the latest tees that was created for a great cause.
Vogue’s FNO is an annual event held in different metropolises encouraging people to spend money on clothes with sales proceeds going to a charitable cause. The exclusive MM10 ‘shadow patch’ tee was designed specifically for the Japanese on the night of the event. The Maison Martin Margiela x Vogue FNO Japan shirt boasts a simple design featuring an orange colorway with a large white patch as the main graphic.
With every purchase of the shirt, 10% of proceeds will go towards Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi or Children Without Borders, which supports disadvantaged children in Asia and raises international awareness.
