New York Fashion Week officially kicked-off today, opening with it’s signature runway event: The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection. This runway show features a number of celebrities and famous faces wearing red dresses by different fashion designers in order to raise awareness about heart disease in women.
According to the National Institutes of Health website, “[this] spectacular event reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and inspires them to take action. For the first time ever, a selection of the designer dresses seen on the runway will be auctioned online in February through a partnership with Clothes Off Our Back.” Proceeds from the auction will “benefit the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health and will be used to further efforts related to women’s heart health awareness and research.”
This year’s catwalk queens included: Katie Couric, Susan Lucci, Vivica Fox, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Natsia Liukin, Hilary Duff, Amanda Bynes and Brittany Snow.
