H&M
Did you know H&M’s Close to My Heart collection was inspired by its imployee who struggled to find functional and fashionable lingerie after surviving breast cancer? Designed with their comfort in mind, the bras helped to meet the needs of women who have had a single or double mastectomy. Aside from a fuller cup, the bra also has pockets for prostheses, ranging from 32A to 38D. Available in three designs—a plain bra, a lace bra, and a front zipped sports bra, they can also be worn by women who haven’t had a mastectomy.
Raf Simons
Belgian designer Raf Simons is also joining the fight and has announced his team-up with the Belgium-based organisation, Pink Ribbon, that helps in research and prevention of breast cancer. Releasing a pink ribbon of his own, the ribbon features the word “Heroes”, which represents all the women who have fought against breast cancer and those who raised awareness for the cause, along with his initial sewn on it. The ribbon is sold on Pink Ribbon’s website for three Euros (approximately RM14.40).

Stella McCartney
Breast cancer awareness has been a personal cause for Stella McCartney as her mother, Linda McCartney, passed away from it in 1998. This year, aside from tapping Idris Elba as the face of her campaign, she is also launching a lingerie set, Rose Romancing, that aims to provide a positive message and break the taboos related to breast cancer.
