So a bunch of hookers got together and swapped the streets for the catwalk on which to do their ho' stroll. The World AIDS Conference took place in Vienna last week and to raise awareness sex-workers united to fight the cause via workin' their thang in Daspu (meaning 'from the whores') a Brazilian label established by an ex night-worker, now fighting for the rights of ladies-of-the-night.

Strategically placed condoms could be seen poking from pockets and bodices in the brightly coloured collection as the gals and guys strutted down the runway on pins that would rival any model's - and with unquestionably more charisma. Go streetwalkers!

“AIDS prevention is an instrument for working", says Friederike Strack of Davida, an association working Daspu. "It's important that the sex professionals, the sex workers, know how to use condoms, and they are the best to make HIV prevention: they have contact with the clients.”

Safe sex is important to everyone though - remember, rubber-up ya'll!
