The White Cashmere Collection heralds the return of limited-edition Cashmere in support of breast cancer efforts. Twenty-five cents from the sale of every package goes directly to the Canadian Cancer Society and Canada’s fashion students not only get the chance to kick-start their design careers, but also to make a difference in the lives of Canadian women and their families affected by breast cancer.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Chelsea Cox was named the winner of the 2017 Student Design Competition and a $4,000 bursary.
