Slash to design backpacks for ‘Dora the Explorer’
March 9th, 2010 - 10:51 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Mar 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The founder of Velvet Revolver – Slash is all set to design backpacks based on ‘Dora the Explorer’ for charity. He is also a member of the rock band Guns N’ Roses. He is going to design the backpack in collaboration with the kids television network Nickelodeon. The proceeds from this charitable cause would go to the Children’s Defense Fund. Other celebrities are also going to design the backpacks, and then they would be sold at an auction in the summer. Shakira and Salma Hayek are also going to wield their designer skills, while designing the backpacks.
To maintain the exclusivity of the backpacks, a very limited number of them are going to be launched. They will be available for sale in the United States, Canada, Spain, United Kingdom and even France. The proceeds from the sale will go for childhood education scheme in that particular country.
The 43-year-old Slash’s real name is Saul Hudson. He will launch his solo debut self-titled album this year. Currently he is also looking for a lead singer for Velvet Revolver, which he founded. He is an accomplished guitarist, and the Time Magazine has already placed him as the 2nd position of the “10 Best Electric Guitar Players of All-Time”.
