Some models covered their scars with the text written on them or with glitter.

The charity organization #CancerLand shared their strong message on Facebook about this show: "We at #Cancerland believe that this year’s show will send a clear message to our worldwide audience, that those afflicted by breast cancer will not settle for anything less than a solution to this health epidemic."

Dana Donofree, the founder of AnaOno, a breast cancer survivor, said on her website:

"I began to design the first pieces out of my own necessity and desire for pretty, sexy, beautiful lingerie during a recovery period that was everything but. I made it my mission to design specifically for those who’ve had breast reconstruction, breast surgery, mastectomy, or are living with other conditions that cause pain or discomfort because I believe that comfort should not be a compromise."
