WHAT: GLAMOUR profiles six young female designers who are changing the face of fashion in the March 2007 Designer issue. In celebration of the issue, Glamour collaborated with these women to design a deluxe Splendid t-shirt that reflects their creativity and inimitable vision. A limited edition run of 1500 shirts (250 per design) have been produced for sale exclusively on Shopbop.com, with 30% of the retail price to benefit the following charities:

* Jenni Kayne for Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center: Coral-colored sketch of a woman in a field of poppies wearing Jenni's Grecian one-shouldered gown.
* Rachel Roy for Children's Hope India: A unique take on Rachel's signature in distressed metallic gold.
* Rodarte for National Multiple Sclerosis Society: A smattering of black & white light bulbs with one illuminated in yellow.
* Sari Gueron for Free Arts NYC: Original watercolor painting of an owl spreading its wing across the front of the shirt.
*Thread Social for Women In Need: Graffiti print inspired by the spring 2007 collection.
