Fashion and Empowerment: A Dual Celebration

Each year, we merge fashion with personal triumph in two impactful segments: the Runway of Resilience and the Coronation Couture.

On the runway, our brave warriors, alongside distinguished designers, present ensembles that embody strength, hope, and survival. Each outfit not only showcases style but also narrates the warrior's journey through the language of fashion.

In the coronation, designers craft bespoke gowns directly inspired by their muses' battles with cancer. These unique creations are more than just clothing; they are heartfelt tributes that encapsulate the essence of each warrior's resilience and victory.

Join us to celebrate the beauty of fashion and the inspiring stories of courage that each piece represents.
