On the first fashion show in Bulgaria dedicated to the fight with breast cancer were presented the newest trendy collections of fourteen fashion labels as well as shoes and accessories suitable for the fall-winter 2003/2004 season.

A special calendar dedicated to the Breast cancer awareness campaign, organized by the International Women's Club in Sofia and twenty more companies and organizations, was also presented at the fashion show.

The event took place in Sofia's central mall TZUM and was attended by Bulgaria's first lady Zorka Parvanova.

Natural materials such as cotton and wool and a combination of different colors varying from the soft beige and brown range of colors dominate the ladies' collections. The sports and men's collections are taken over by different materials and colors.

The stylish collections of Tiffani, Etere, MEXX, Kookai , Sasch, Wolford and many other renown fashion labels enjoyed great interest at the show.

Last week the International Women's Club in Sofia launched the Breast cancer awareness campaign as a part of the world's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Data shows that some 3,100 women have been diagnosed with breast cancer over the last several years, which makes it the most often met disease among Bulgarian women, accounting for 23,1 percent of the malignant tumours and 17,7 percent of the death cases in 2000.
