Each March, Comic Relief puts on a massive, star-studded telethon in the UK to raise money for charity. It’s called Red Nose Day, and it’s a big deal. Game of Thrones actors have been involved with it before, most notably in 2015 when a bunch of them appeared in a musical parody of the show written by Coldplay. Because that video can’t be replayed enough, here it is again:
Maisie Williams (Arya) didn’t appear in that particular Red Nose Day event, but she’s throwing in with the cause this year by fronting a t-shirt campaign from fashion and portrait photographer Rankin, who turned designer for this project. “I designed this range especially for Comic Relief with my love for animals in mind,” Rankin said. “I wanted to be able to put a fun and creative spin on classic images for this specific campaign to put a smile on people’s faces for Red Nose Day and encourage everyone to make their laugh matter.”
The shirts will be available for retail at T.K. Maxx (formerly T.J. Maxx) and online at rednoseday.com. There are nine different animals designs in all. The shirts come in sizes for men, women, boys, girls and babies, and range in price from £7.99 to £14.99, which chunks of that price going to Comic Relief. ” The money raised from each t-shirt will make a real difference to the lives of people living in poverty across Africa and the UK,” said Red Rose Day director Emma Freud.
Red Nose Day will be landing in America on May 25, so those on this side of the pond will get a chance to help out, too!
