The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2008

Friday, February 1 is National Wear Red Day! By wearing red today, you help support women’s heart health and heart disease research. National Wear Red Day kicks of American Heart Month.

This February, The Heart Truth celebrates its sixth year at New York’s Fashion Week, commemorating the groundbreaking partnership with America’s fashion industry to bring the Red Dress to life in the national effort to raise awareness about women and heart disease. On National Wear Red Day—February 1, 2008—The Heart Truth will roll out the red carpet for more than 20 of today’s celebrated women donning one-of-a-kind Red Dresses by America’s top designers for women’s heart health.

Red Dress Collection 2008Laura Bush, serving as The Heart Truth Ambassador, opened the show. “Nothing draws attention like a little red dress,” she said.

Furthermore, she notes that “Like many women, I assumed heart disease was a man’s disease and cancer was what we would fear the most. Yet heart disease kills more women in our country than all forms of cancer combined. When it comes to heart disease, education, prevention, and even a little red dress can save lives.”

Many different celebrities participated in the 6th annual event at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City, such as Allison Janney, Liza Minnelli, Joss Stone, Molly Sims, and many more.

Red Dress Collection 2008Heidi Klum was adorable as she sashayed down the runway in a Marc Jacobs dress. Lisa Rinna looked awesome in a fringed Michael Kors number. Sara Ramirez was beautiful in her red dress.

The fashion show featured more than 20 celebrity women paired with the most prestigious fashion houses to debut The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection 2008.

Kate Moss in Donna Karan Spring-Summer 2008 Ad Campaign

Kate Moss will star in Donna Karan’s Spring-Summer 2008 ad campaign. Donna Karan says she is thrilled to be working with Kate Moss, Vogue UK reports.

“She’s wild and sexy and somebody who has the energy to hang out in the streets, to dance! A woman who would have lived in that rawness but with a polish at the same time,” the designer said.

“The clothes don’t wear her, she wears the clothes.” The campaign - which has a flamboyant “Nueva York” theme - has already been shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot in Los Angeles. “We went cinematographic,” Karan confided to WWD. “We wanted to tell a story and we wanted somebody who had energy, passion, sophistication and cool. You put it all together and it says ‘Kate’.”
