To clarify the above point on the percent of sales that is being donated:
-Social Atelier and Fred Segal Man will donate 100% of profits from the sale of the shirts at the Fred Segal Man pop-up store.
-Social Atelier will donate 15% of profits from the sale of all Social Atelier shirts
-Fred Segal Man will donate 100% of profits from the sale of the LOVE ALL co-produced shirt
-Social Atelier’s 2 year goal is to be able to donate 50% of all profits

Sigh…. in LA, it all comes down to hard bodies…. It totally obscures the message. But at least an obscure message about fenocide is better than nothing!

Several similar events in the US related to Darfur have left me pretty disturbed by the whole thing. The attempt to make a genocide HIP to be concerned about when in fact, it shouldnt have to be hip or a good tshirt or a good looking bartender. Something about the mix of capitalism and concern for human lives, never seems to mix properly.
