    BEIJING, Nov. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- "Pretty Woman" actress Julia Roberts has teamed up with noted fashion designer Giorgio Armani to design a bracelet to sell for World AIDS Day, media reported Wednesday.

    It is the first time the Italian designer has ever worked with another name on a project.

    "Julia has helped to create a beautiful accessory for both women and men, which will also be a visible reminder of the part we can all play in fighting AIDS in Africa," Armani said.

    The bohemian-style leather bracelets come in red for women and brown for men. They feature an imprint of a "tree of life" with the words "Revolution-Evolution-Devotion" and the initials J.R. on the inside.

    The bracelet is 175 U.S. dollars for women and 195 dollars for men, and will go on sale at emporioarmani.com on World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 and be available in stores from Feb. 1.

    Proceeds benefit (PRODUCT) RED, the business initiative started by U2 front man Bono and Bobby Shriver to help combat HIV/AIDS in Africa.

    The Oscar-winning actress has often worn Armani gowns to movie ceremonies and is a long-term friend of the designer.
