October 2019 saw one hell of a Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign with our largest shoot to date!
According to Breast Cancer Now, in the UK 5000 women under 45 are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. That means it’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women under 40.
Being the status quo smashers you know and love, this year it was about depicting breast cancer in a way rarely represented. From the Kit Agar designed Fine Line Female Form designs showing different ways our bods are altered by breast cancer- scars an’ all, to the imagery captured.
The Female Form campaign and collection would be right at home in the pages of Vogue. Oh hey, Anna & Edward! Editorial and edgy AF with the cancer crew front and centre – united to tell the world that they may have or had cancer but it never had them.
Lauren’s shoot notes
From day dot, our GIRLvsCANCER tees have been made to act as a conversation starter to turn small chatter into chest-checking. And even though so many of us haven’t shut-up about getting to know your bod, a recent survey found that one in five women under 40 have never self-checked. Shocking stuff, mateys!
It made executing the vision of the campaign all the more important to me. It had to empower people to get to know their normal! No victimisation, just smizing & all that f*ck cancer energy.
