Seeing 'Red'

The Gap

Even though "American Idol's" big "Idol Gives Back" TV campaign is over (you can still donate), U2's Bono, who appeared on Wednesday night's show, still has his sights set on raising more funds through the sale of Product Red fashions, especially those at the Gap.

I thought this might be a fashion trend that wouldn't survive, because how many things "Red" can one person really own? However, whoever is creating the apparel is cleverly adding new pieces as the seasons change. In other words, they're now shifting from hoodies and leather bomber jackets to tank tops ($28 each, shown above) and T-shirts.

One of the beneficiaries of the program's fund-raising efforts is the Global Fund, which is also working to help poverty-stricken areas of Africa. So, if you donated Wednesday night and want to do more - in a fashionable way - the Gap's got you covered.
