Michelle Smith of Milly and artist Laurie Simmons have come together for a collaboration via Planned Parenthood. Smith and Simmons have unveiled a new T-shirt they designed together for the organization's 100th anniversary. The T-shirt retails for 75 dollars, and one hundred percent of the profits will go towards Planned Parenthood.

“I’ve been a Planned Parenthood supporter for years, but wanted to come up with a way to support that was meaningful and close to my heart and the work I do as a designer. What better way than to partner with Laurie Simmons, who is not only an iconic American artist, but a leader in speaking out for female empowerment and women’s rights,” Smith said to *WWD* .

The limited-edition T-shirt is currently available on Milly.com and at Milly's SoHo, East Hampton and Madison.

The artwork for the collection was part of a series of five images created by Simmons to commemorate Planned Parenthoods 100th anniversary. Four images were produced for print editions and have already sold out. The fifth image was exclusively for the Milly T-shirt.

The series, called “Walking & Lying Objects,” features images of dollhouses, cakes, guns and handbags with long, slender doll legs. It's message is a statement on gender roles and feminism.
