A fashion design, radio DJ and artist headline this year's ArtBags.

Jan Tamininiau was one of three designers who contributed to this year's ArtBag for STOP AIDS NOW! in The Netherlands. The bags were launched in a catwalk presentation at De Bijenkorf Amsterdam on 28 November in the lead up to World AIDS Day. Taminiau's bag carries a fabric print from a dress out of his prêt-à-porter collection, both of which were modelled at the presentation (pictured).

The other two designs for this year were from artist Ton Schulten and radio DJ Ruud de Wild. Previous contributors to the project have included Marcel Wanders, Victor & Rolf, Henk Schiffmacher, the late Percy Irausquin and Yvonne Zomerdijk. The bags are available for 5 euros from various retail outlets throughout The Netherlands including Bijenkorf, Bruna, V&D, Wereld Winkels and Rob Peetoom salons.
