The new piece debuted yesterday in the brand's newest campaign, fittingly titled ‘With Me, With You’. The joint press release stated that this campaign is a continuation of the brand's efforts to help the 468 million children living in conflict-affected areas, the 222 million in need of education support, as well as for 153 million children who face acute hunger every day.
