Liam Payne T-Shirt raises almost £200,000 for charity one week after his tragic death - where to buy it?

The One Direction singer died on Wednesday October 16 after falling from the third floor of a hotel balcony in Argentina aged 31. A T-shirt designed by tragic One Direction star Liam Payne has raised almost £200,000 for charity in the week since his death.

Liam Payne worked with the Choose Love campaign to create a special garment to raise money for good causes and it's brought in £186,500 in the seven days since the tragedy.

Choose Love founder Dawn O'Porter, who posted a message on Instagram mourning the star's loss. She wrote: “Today is #ChooseDay, and almost a week ago the world lost an incredible person.

“We, with so many others, are devastated by the death of Liam Payne and our hearts and thoughts are with his loved ones. It seemed only right to dedicate this post to Liam and to say thank you for everything he did for us. We will always be so grateful to Liam for the beautiful T-shirt he designed to raise money to support displaced people around the world."

Since news broke of Liam Payne’s death last week Dawn Porter noted that sales for the t-shirt had spiked and he has raised almost £200,000. She wrote: “It’s blown us all away to see how much the T-shirt has been shared this week and to see that £186,500 has been raised in the last week by this beautiful and generous community.”

The money raised from sales of the t-shirt will go towards helping to get vital care to displaced people all over the world. Dawn O’Porter ended the message by thanking everyone and “thank you Liam.”

The T-shirt features a painting of One Direction onstage during a gig and is available for £28.00 from Choose Love's online store.

It’s similar to the ‘Be Kind’ t-shirt that was designed and sold by In The Style following the death of Caroline Flack in 2020. In the days following the TV star's tragic death the online retailer designed a t-shirt that read “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” 

The quote came from an Instagram post Caroline shared a few weeks before she died. In The Style donated 100 percent of the profits to the Samaritans charity.
