Online encyclopedia Wikipedia has partnered with Los Angeles-based fashion label Advisory Board Crystals to launch a Wikipedia fashion item.

The Wikipedia x Advisory Board Crystals collaboration features a long-sleeved tee with iconography from the website, retailing for US$85. All proceeds from sales will be donated to the Wikimedia foundation in support of free information.

The fashion label’s website reads: “As a nonprofit, Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation’s related free knowledge projects are powered primarily through donations. Help us keep knowledge free.

“Knowledge is power and awareness is survival. In addition to being a large source of inspiration and information for our projects, Wikipedia leads us to a place in which you can imagine a world where every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.”
