In support of a future without breast cancer, fifteen Canadian designers including Ines Di Santo, Paris Li, Angela Chen, and Caitlin Power took on White Cashmere Collection 2010: Fashion with Compassion. An annual awareness-raiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, the White Cashmere Collection 2010 event was held to not only raise breast cancer awareness but to also raise funds for the Foundation. It featured models that strutted out in lovely couture designs made solely out of Cashmere bathroom tissue (BT) and inspired by the strength and courage of women affected by breast cancer. The spectacular BT creations ranged from hats, jewelry, swimwear and even a wedding gown.
