Phillip Lim designs charity T-Shirts for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

American-Chinese fashion designer Phillip Lim has teamed up with Nordstrom to design a limited edition t-shirt in support of the Organization of Chinese American for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the US this May. We couldn’t find an image of the charity t-shirt but we do know it will be sold exclusively at 16 Nordstrom stores and online through Nordstrom.com/apahm from May 1st (the link isn’t live yet) for $85 with the proceeds benefiting the OCA.

“I was interested in this project because I was impressed by Nordstrom’s past success in raising funds to help Asian Pacific American children in need,” said Lim who has his own successful label, 3.1 Phillip Lim. “The T-shirt design is my signature in repetition like a graphic print. It’s simple, but acknowledging my full name was a part of growing up as an Asian American and accepting the two cultures that I am a part of. This is a cause that’s personal to me, and I hope that in my small way I am able to contribute to this great program.”
