Fashion 'All Stars' Join Forces With Glassons
Six of New Zealand's leading fashion designers will come together for the first time in support of Glassons 2005 Breast
Cancer Research Trust T-Shirt campaign.
The 'all star' team comprising of Karen Walker, Kate Sylvester, Zambesi, Huffer, Trelise Cooper and Tanya Carlson will
lend their considerable talents to the creation of the 2005 T-Shirt designs, which go on sale nationwide through
Glassons stores from February 1st.
Each T-Shirt will be sold for just $29.95 - with Glassons donating $10 from every sale to the Breast Cancer Research
Trust (BCRT).
"The calibre of this year's designers is exceptional and we feel very privileged to have them working with us," says
Glassons Group Managing Director, Cliff Kinraid. "And with such a unique opportunity to buy a garment from our nation's
top talent we trust our customers will again support this very worthwhile cause."
The Glassons BCRT T-Shirt campaign is now entering its third year and last year raised an impressive $500,000. The funds
have enabled the appointment of Dr Nicole McCarthy as the first Breast Cancer Research Trust fellow at the University of
Auckland Medical School.
New Zealand has one of the world's highest rates of breast cancer with the disease affecting one in every twelve women
and claiming more than 600 lives every year.
