The Miami Design District launched its 10th annual Fashion Strikes Cancer event series earlier in October – a month-long initiative benefiting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Founded and co-hosted by fashion visionary and breast cancer survivor Angeles Almuna, the series was created to inspire, support, and honor those affected by breast cancer. This year’s program payed tribute to Christine Handy, an international model, author, breast cancer advocate, and humanitarian.
The series opened with a Pink Dome Lighting Ceremony featuring a performance by the Florida Grand Opera, the state’s oldest arts institution, presented as part of its Wellness and Resilience Program.
Events throughout October include the Annual Pink Yoga class on October 14 led by Almuna and Dawn Feinberg, founder of Ahana Yoga, with music by DJ Drez, and conclude on October 25 with the Annual Fashion Presentation and Cocktail Reception.
Designers and stylists participating in the finale include Danny Santiago, Juan Castillo, Lisu Vega, Sigal Cohen, and Valeria Krasavina. Select Miami Design District retailers will also donate proceeds to BCRF during the month.
