The Runway is Ready for the Seventh Annual White Cashmere Collection

Seventh-Annual-White-Cashmere-CollectionThe soft and luxurious sheets of Cashmere Bathroom Tissues are once again being transformed into fabulous and unique outfits this September for the Annual White Cashmere Collection Fashion Show hosted at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Fifteen brilliant Canadian designers will work together to bring their vision of a future without breast cancer to the runway. This year the designers will once again work with Pink Cashmere, Canada's first coloured bathroom tissue in over a decade. Pink Cashmere was specifically designed to raise awareness for breast cancer while also raising funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

The collection will include breathtaking pieces from designers like RUDSAK, Zoran Dobric, Angela Chen and Paris Li. In September, the catwalk will see its first swimsuit made entirely out of bathroom tissue. The swimsuit, which sadly will never make it into the water, will be created by famed designer Reyhan Sofraci, the director for the super-sexy Aqua Di Lara swim wear line. Here are just a couple of outfits that will be walking the runway this year:
