H&M turned up the volume for its fourth Fashion Against AIDS collection with a cool unisex collection featuring a top-notch list of supporters including Selma Blair, Leigh Lezark and her Misshapes crew, Penn Badgley, Keri Hilson, Sky Ferreira, Akon, Nikki Reed, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scissor Sisters, and Shiloh Fernandez. "I think it's really fitting that this collection is androgynous in style since the disease affects both men and women," said Selma Blair. "It's a universal thing and we are all in this together. It's a disease that can be avoided and it's especially tragic when our ignorance keeps us from safety."

The H&M Fashion Against AIDS collection will be available in H&M's Divided department starting April 26, with 25 percent of sales donated to the charity Designers Against AIDS (DAA) and various international HIV/AIDS prevention projects. Check out the celebs and musicians in the lookbook, plus a piece-by-piece breakdown — including prices — of every item in the collection!

So, just in case you cleaned out your closet of the miniskirt to prepare for the maxi, here are a few ultra chic options to show some leg this Spring.
