Forget vaccine passports these tops by Valentino are much more stylish!
A month ago, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the creative director of Valentino, posted a selfie on Instagram of himself wearing a black hoodie, instead of displaying the traditional Velentino logo the sweater was emblazed with the words VACCINATED. Immediately celebrities and fashionista's alike shared the image placing orders for a sweatshirt of their own and thus the Vaccinated Valentino sweatshirt became virral.
Created in collabortion with Cloney the Vaccinated sweatshirt is sold online on via Valentino.com priced at €590.
All net profits from the limited edition Valentino (V)Vaccinated hoodie will be donated to UNICEF in support of its global COVAX Program, which aims to accelerate the development, production, and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments and vaccines.
” UNICEF’s Director of Private Fundraising and Partnerships Carla Haddad Mardini said in a statement, “ensuring global equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, particularly for frontline healthworkers and those most-at-risk, is the best chance we have to save lives, ensure economies can restart, and provide families with access to the health, education and protection services they need, that is why we are asking everyone, everywhere to join the race to end the pandemic.”
Valentino’s design will be available via Valentino’s webstore starting September 23.
