**Breast Cancer Now is marking the £14m raised over the past 20 years by the Fashion
Target Breast Cancer campaign with a series of poster images by Mario Testino.**

 

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, the two supermodels who helped to launch the campaign
in 1996, were photographed by Testino and the posters now appear across the UK on
billboards.

Money raised by Fashion Targets Breast Cancer will be donated directly to Breast
Cancer Now, the UK’s largest breast cancer charity, to fund its research into the
disease and help it to reach its target that, by 2050, no woman will die from breast
cancer.

Baroness Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive of [Breast Cancer Now](http://www.breastcancernow.org),
said:

> “Over the last 20 years Fashion Targets Breast Cancer has united the world of 
> fashion as a force against breast cancer. The heartfelt backing of our retail 
> partners, celebrity supporters and UK shoppers means that we are 20 years closer
> to finding a way to stop this dreadful disease.
> “However, this month alone 1,000 women in the UK will die from breast cancer –
> and this isn’t acceptable. As Fashion Targets Breast Cancer moves in to its third
> decade of decisive action, we’re more determined than ever to reach the day when
> no one dies from this disease. That’s why we’re asking the UK public to continue
> to stand with us and ‘Wear Your Support’ with pride.”

## Fashion Targets Breast Cancer’s origins

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer was founded by Ralph Lauren in the USA in 1994 after
he lost a close friend to the disease. It expanded to the UK in 1996.

Since then the campaign has benefitted from the support of some of the biggest names
in fashion, including Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson, Kylie Minogue, Georgia 
May Jagger, Sienna Miller, Lily Donaldson, Twiggy, Yasmin le Bon and Abbey Clancy.

Celebrated photographers including Ellen von Unwerth, Patrick Demarchelier, Rankin
and Simon Emmett have lent their creative vision to the campaign’s striking look.
