Designers Against AIDS by Ami Kealoha
With a mission to revitalize flagging awareness about HIV and AIDS, Designers Against AIDS tasks artists, designers, and musicians with creating t-shirt designs. Their second season ranges from Robots United's contemporary take on a vintage look (pictured) to the characteristically bold statement, "I use a condom," by fashion designer Katherine Hamnett and Henrik Vibskov's abstract architectural arrangement. Proceeds benefit various AIDS organizations, natch, and events in countries where the tees are sold help raise awareness on a grassroots level. Select styles available online for €59 from Daily Obsessions.
(Update: Robot United's design are no longer in production.)

urbanyetti
Apparently, mythological creatures aren't only found in forests and lakes these days. Urbanyetti has been sited in cities worldwide, on t-shirts, and on this (suitably scared-looking) baby's onesie. The brainchild of San Francisco-based artist and one-time Nickolodeon prop designer Aaron Terry, adult sizes come in either black or baby blue, onesies are on soft white, and they're all silkscreened on 100% cotton American Apparel....
