Laura Ashley has once again teamed up with Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC) to help raise charity funds via two of their stylish tops this Spring. 30% of the proceeds made by the sales of these two items will be donated to their continued research, campaigning and education. The spot print cardigan features three quarter length sleeves with button cuffs, bow details and patch pockets, whilst the nautical themed spot print cotton top has cap sleeves and a scoop neckline, absolutely perfect for the summer.
The Fashion Targets Breast Cancer health charity was first established in 1994 by Ralph Lauren, after his friend, Fashion Editor of the Washington Post Nina Hyde, died of breast cancer. FTBC was first launched in the UK by Breakthrough Breast Cancer and is now celebrating its 14th year. The campaign has already raised over £10.5m in the UK alone through the sale of the famous target t-shirts and other merchandise. UK stockists include M&S, River Island, Warehouse, Topshop, and of course Laura Ashley, with all the money made helping to raise vital funds for the tireless work of
Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
With support from some of the world’s most famous fashion icons including Kate Moss, Kylie Minogue, Naomi Campbell, Gisele, Helena Christensen and photographs from the likes of Mario Testino and David Bailey, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2010 (FTBC) is hoping to this year raise over £1million. With these fantastic designs from Laura Ashley and your help, this figure should be achievable and help the ongoing global battle against cancer.
