Alexander Wang Designs Limited-Edition Condoms


This is actually a pretty dope idea! When Planned Parenthood approached me to collaborate with them on a project that makes condoms more appealing to women, I loved the idea!" Wang said. "I used a spare design that felt sexy, modern and empowering; after all, women should always come first!”

Fashion designer Alexander Wang not only has a fashion show planned for February 14, he's also debuting his new limited-edition condom on the same day. Wang has partnered with Planned Parenthood to be the next designer for Proper Attire, the fashionable condoms mean to encourage women to carry condoms. The condoms come in five styles (basic,colored, studded, extra large and sheer) in packaging created by a designer. Last September, Yigal Azrouël created a line for the brand which was shown at his fashion show. Proper Attire is sold at Thompson Hotels, some Planned Parenthood centers, other select locations and online, with all profits going to Planned Parenthood. Packages of three sell for $5.99.
