Fashion for the Cure 2009

The Los Angeles County Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® proudly presented our eighth annual Fashion for the Cure® fundraiser at Smashbox Studios in West Hollywood on Thursday, September 24, 2009. 

Kicking off breast cancer awareness month, the Komen Los Angeles County Affiliate featured the Diane von Furstenberg Cruise/Pre-Spring Collection 2009/2010 in a high-energy runway show.

Inspiration was the theme of this years runway show. Fashion for the Cure® seeks to inspire and encourage LAs fashion, entertainment and medical community to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

As breast cancer knows no boundary - be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location - the runway models for the event were comprised of women who have strong ties to breast cancer. This years lineup included high-profile breast cancer advocates, local breast cancer survivors and professional models who have been touched by breast cancer.

In addition to the runway show, additional event festivities included a silent auction and a brief ceremony honoring Los Angeles County-based researchers who have received national Susan G. Komen for the Cure® grants.
