A SCOTTISH breast cancer charity has welcomed the backing of supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell to the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer poster campaign.
Mario Testino OBE, a world-renowned Peruvian fashion and portrait photographer, is using his striking images of the models to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the campaign, launched today, and money raised will go directly to charity Breast Cancer Now.
Mary Allison, director for Scotland at Breast Cancer Now, said: “Over the past 20 years, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer has raised £14 million for pioneering breast cancer research in the UK.
“These vital funds have enabled discoveries that are transforming the lives of so many people affected by breast cancer. But, with over 4,600 women being diagnosed with breast cancer every year in Scotland and around 1,000 dying, there’s so much more we can do. That’s why we’re asking the public to continue to stand with us and ‘Wear Your Support’ with pride.”
The stunning 2016 images unveiled across UK billboards today see Testino re-invent Moss and Campbell’s original bold and beautiful poses, 20 years on.
The campaign calls on shoppers to show their support by buying something from the 2016 Fashion Targets Breast Cancer collection.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
