Dita Von Teese turns Designer for a Good Cause

Dita Von Teese DesignThey are experts in flirty fun and frivolity, but Dita Von Teese and Katy Perry have both turned their attention to a serious cause.

The burlesque queen and I Kissed A Girl singer are among the stars who tried their hand at fashion design to help battle AIDS.

Chart topper Estelle, Eighties icon Cyndi Lauper and rap group N.E.R.D also got in on the act for high street store H&M.

Dita's offering - a white cropped T-shirt which featured a print of a woman's face - was certainly demure by her standards

Of course, there was a hint of burlesque with bloomers, fishnet stockings and gloves also making an appearance in her photoshoot.

Katy also modelled her creation - a figure-hugging body suit with a smiley face inside a love heart.

American Boy singer Estelle created a T-shirt which featured the words 'Life is too short... have sex... be safe'.

Lauper's slogan 'Girls just wanna have safe sex' is a play on her 1983 anthem Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

N.E.R.D., which features Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley, encourage men to use their brain when it comes to safe sex.

Proceeds from the sale of the clothes in the Fashion Against AIDS campaign will go to help HIV and AIDS awareness campaigns.

The range hits H&M stores on May 28.
