…in Columbia anyway. Every year for the past several, the fashion design students of Stephens College collaborate with downtown business owners to promote breast cancer awareness. Stores like Poppy provide the window space, and the girls provide all the genius. Each student designs a pink dress using an item she drew from a hat. All month, we get to show off the dress in our windows.
This week, just before their installations come down, I want to showcase the three designers who had the side windows at Poppy.
This first one is by Jenn Young, and is called “Think Before You Drink.” The statistics behind Jenn’s design–which features fabulously pink beverage cans–suggest that too much drinking can have an effect on breast cancer.
This design is by Milena A. Linker, and asserts what we all believe: that it’s time for a cure.
And this last design is by Alice King, and features playing cards and the advice not to gamble with your health and ignore your self-exams or mammograms.
Awesome, aren’t they?
XO, Sar
