In light of the tragic events in Japan on March 11th, many companies and individuals have stepped up with products, projects, art, and promotions to raise funds. Here are 25 great examples of ways you can help Japan through fashion and art.
If you’d prefer to donate directly to the Red Cross, click on the link in my Hello Bar at the top of the page or visit Google Crisis Response, where you can find links to donate to the Red Cross, International Medical Corps, Unicef, Save the Children, and Mercy Corps. No matter the size, your contribution has the power to make an impact.

[If you're an artist, you can donate your art to be auctioned off on April 30th, with profits going to aid Japan. Visit the Tsunami Project to submit your art and find out more. At the very least, you should scroll through some of the submitted images -- they're amazing. Above images by Pyroow & Antonello Becciu]
