- JACOB ALXNDRJACOB ALXNDR is an emerging London-based menswear designer who, through his design label, aims to add sexuality and freedom to what he thinks is society's current predetermined socially acceptable styles and trends par to sexual prefernce of a young modern man. In conjunction with the release of his debut collection, JACOB ALXNDR as a brand hopes to promote a positive attitude toward HIV by raising awareness and educating people on the virus through his charitble project, THE POSITIVE PROJECT. Jacob was dianosed as HIV positive on the morning of his 22nd birthday on September 9 2015. Following his initial diagnosis, he struggled coming to terms with his status and as each day passed he slowly started to realise just how much of a problem some people still had with HIV, or rather those who were HIV Positive. He wanted to combat this stigma and try to shed a positive light on the HIV virus and those living with it by raising awareness through inviting the general public (and a few familiar faces too!) to take part in The Positive Project. As mentioned in Jacob's TEDx talk in Marck 2016, he feels as though HIV based charities have been pushed aside in current news by larger run charities such as Cancer Research UK for example. help Jacob get HIV in the headlines again, and together help him make a difference.
- The Positive ProjectYoung British menswear designer, JACOB ALXNDR, invites you to take part in The Positive Project, by joining his army to march on for positivity and combat the stigma still surrounding the HIV virus and affecting those who are living with it today. Through the distribution of The Positive Project merchandise, the target is to shine a positive light on the HIV virus and those who have it. As despite the vast general public having a limited knowledge on the virus, treatment and life after diagnosis, the founder of this charity; Jacob Alexander, after his diagnosis felt that there was still a stigma attached to the virus and he saw that those who are HIV positive can and are still treated differently. The Positive Project's ambition is to get at least one plus symbol in every country and major city in the world. With the mission of spreading the right kind of positivity around the globe, seeing this symbol being worn on the streets with pride and no negative connotations attached to the virus or again, those who are living with it. Proceeds of all donations to The Positive Project will go toward HIV research for treatment and to provide better care for HIV patients. A proportion of the money received will be donated directly to The St Stephen’s Centre in West London.
