The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement and the National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute’s (NHLBI) awareness campaign, The Heart Truth—both known for the iconic red dress that symbolizes the fight against the No. 1 killer of women.
“It
is a distinct privilege to join with The Heart Truth as co-presenter of
the 2015 Red Dress Collection Fashion Show,” said American Heart
Association CEO, Nancy Brown.
“The Heart Truth has played a seminal role
in nationwide efforts to raise awareness of heart disease in women, and
Go Red For Women is proud to work together toward our shared goal of
improving women’s heart health.”
The
Red Dress Collection has kicked off Fashion Week since 2003, with
celebrities such as Toni Braxton, Jennie Garth and Felicity Huffman
taking to the runway. Zac Posen, Badgley Mischka, Nicole Miller, Tadashi Shoji and other top designers have participated over the years.
The
dress icon was created by The Heart Truth and has helped Go Red For
Women earn international recognition. It’s only fitting that Go Red For
Women and The Heart Truth are now presenting the show together.
