Yahoo News AIDSfree appeal: A print of your icon or designer cufflinks — how you can help
Amazing items are being offered to Evening Standard readers to raise money for our AIDSfree appeal.
Designer jeweller Tateossian has created stunning cufflinks to represent the HIV drug PrEP and will donate all proceeds to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
The £195 cufflinks are in the shape of pills and represent the fact that one pill taken each day can manage the spread of HIV, change lives and help make the world AIDs free.
The cufflinks are half steel and half IP gunmetal plated, so are two-tone black and silver in colour.
They can be screwed open to reveal a secret inner compartment.
Contemporary British artist and print maker David Studwell has created a striking Giclée print, below, and will give 80 per cent of proceeds to the Foundation.
He worked with world-renowned photographer Terry O’Neill and Sir Elton John to create “Elton John: Home Run — Dodger Stadium 1975”.
The £250 print is a re-working of O’Neill’s iconic photograph, which captures Elton at the height of his fame in 1975.
Studwell’s work has been collected by celebrities including Kate Moss, Sheryl Crow and Nile Rogers.
His work has been exhibited at galleries in London and the USA, and hangs in private collections worldwide.
The print can be purchased at davidstudwellgallery.co.uk
Celebrity photographer Andy Gotts is selling prints of six famous people who are icons in their chosen fields to raise money for the foundation.
He photographed Sir Elton, Tom Hiddleston, Dame Shirley Bassey, Daniel Craig, Sir Ringo Starr and Dame Judi Dench as part of a project called iCons, in which he captures images of elite Hollywood actors, award-winning musicians and famous names in the fashion world.
These six portraits have been specially chosen to celebrate the foundation’s 25th anniversary this year, and at least 60 per cent of proceeds will go to the foundation.
The prints cost £105 each or £450 for all six.
Readers who want to buy the six prints by Gotts must use the code EltonSet.
