2013 White Cashmere Collection
The White Cashmere Collection, the first and only fashion collection entirely crafted in Cashmere bathroom tissue, celebrated a decade of design during a September 25 fashion show in Toronto.
Models wearing original creations by twenty top Canadian designers walked the catwalk during “The Pink and White Gala” at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario.
The live runway show was hosted by Beverly Thomson, co-host of CTV Canada AM and breast cancer survivor, and curated by Canadian designer Farley Chatto.
The White Cashmere Collection fashion show has been supporting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and its vision of a future without cancer since 2004 and heralds the return of limited-edition Pink Cashmere. During October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, twenty-five cents from the sale of every package of Pink Cashmere will go to the Foundation.
“We are extremely proud of what the White Cashmere Collection has accomplished in 10 short years and how it pays tribute to the courage and strength of women and their families affected by breast cancer,” says Nancy Marcus, Corporate Vice President, Consumer Marketing at Kruger Products. “We launched the White Cashmere Collection in 2004 and since its inception, we broke ground by creating Canada's first and only fashion collection crafted entirely in bathroom tissue and united Canada's fashion community with a cause that is very important to our company.”
