It is the first time the Italian designer has worked with
another name on a product. The leather bracelet in red or brown has a "Tree of Life"
design and inside carries the initials J.R, Armani said. "Julia has helped to create a beautiful accessory ... which
will be a visible reminder of the part that we can all play in
fighting AIDS in Africa," Armani said in a statement. Armani, known for his classic, flowing clothes and subtle
colors, has been a partner in the (PRODUCT) RED initiative to
send funds from the sale of products to help the fight against
AIDS since it started in 2006. Armani chose the materials and colors for the bracelet. Oscar-winning actress Roberts has often worn Armani gowns
to movie ceremonies and is a long-standing friend of the
designer. (Reporting by Jo Winterbottom, editing by Paul Casciato) |
