[RYP 2012]
The RESPECT YOURSELF PROJECT is back for its third year. This year sees the return of USA based Chari & Co NYC alongside the new forces of Opening Ceremony, Married to the Mob and HUF, joining forces with TENGA alongside 5 Japanese clothing labels, artist Makoto Aida and cartoonist Santa Inoue, with BLACKSENSE reigning from China completing RYP’s most global line-up to date.
RYP is a project based on a core concept of "Respect Yourself ~ Taking care of yourself will protect you from HIV" started by TENGA in 2010 with a wish to help, in what way we can, to help spread knowledge and awareness of - and to prevent the spread of - AIDS and HIV.
