Sex On Fire

Too often, personal style contradicts one’s moral convictions.  From buying fur hats when you love animals, to sporting jeans by a label accused of exploiting labor, fashion and ethics rarely see eye to eye.  Yet when it comes to designer condoms, the two have finally reached an agreement: safe sex is cool.

Joining street artist Ron English, whose sinister cartoon condoms quickly snuck into the wallets of NYC street artists, and Marc Jacobs, who included a handwritten note inside his all-blue line of contraceptives, the Keith Haring Foundation launches a condom with the late artist’s iconic graphics on the packaging. 

Before losing his battle to AIDS in 1990, Haring adamantly campaigned for AIDS awareness by speaking candidly to the public about living with the disease, and setting up a foundation in his name.   Available starting on December 1st at ProperAttireCondoms.com (home of the black and white Alexander Wang condom) and Haring.com, the proceeds from the purchase will go to Planned Parenthood and the Keith Haring Foundation.

Priced at $5.99 for a pack of three, the Haring condom is a simple way to stay healthy, charitable, and stylish all at once. Don’t even get us started on YSL’s cigarettes…
