GOOD CAUSES: John Bartlett's Latest
Puts The Focus On Farm Animals
Puts The Focus On Farm Animals
August 3, 2012
There may be few designers as dedicated to their personal causes as our friend John Bartlett. His Tiny Tim Rescue Fund has been saving animals from high-kill shelters for a few years now, and this Monday, the designer turns his attention to the farm. Bartlett's latest line will turn over 10% of its proceeds to Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization dedicated to work on behalf of abused and neglected farm animals. Each of the tees features a Bartlett-style silhouette of a cow, chicken or pig, the three most recognizable farm animals in our country, and a subtle reminder sleeve of how many of them are killed each year (9 billion chickens? Perhaps that's another reason to stay away from Chik-Fil-A —but that's a whole other discussion right there).
Of course, there is no better way to sell these tees than to get them on a handsome model, and the bucolic, new campaign has been shot at Farm Sanctuary’s 175-acre shelter in Watkins Glen, NY. If you are feeling an agrarian mood, click below for a slideshow of some of the images. The tees for men and women will retail for $40 each, and will be available on Monday August 6th at JohnBartlettNY.com.
