Last week we told you that accessories extrovert Lady Gaga designed a “We Pray For Japan” prayer bracelet to raise Japan tsunami relief funds.

But Gaga’s not the only one lending a helping hand in the influential world of fashion.

Paris boutique Colette recently posted a Tweet requesting that all designers and artists think of something to sell, with 100 percent of the proceeds to go the Japanese Red Cross Society.

“We are all extremely saddened by what is currently happening in Japan and we wish to help raise funds for the country’s disaster relief,” Colette said on its site.

“Several designers have contributed: Kuntzel+Deygas buttons, an original drawing by Fafi, bracelets by Aurélie Biderman, Cool Cats tshirts , a “Rescue Jacket” by Kitsuné, teddy bears by Vika Gazinskaya, Case Scenario x Keith Haring iphone cases, Olympia Le Tan brooches, Eiko Maekawa rabbits and many more to come.”

Meanwhile, Fast Retailing group has donated 1.4 billion yen in money and clothing through the Japanese Red Cross Society.
