STYLE NOTES

OF LATE, the American
fashion and beauty retailers
have made it their business to

become involved in social
issues,

Following on the success of
fundraising campaigns for AIDS
awareness and research, American
companies and media are turning
their attention to breast cancer and
breast health awareness programs.
(October has been dedicated Breast
Cancer Awareness month.)

Women's Wear Daily, the
American fashion trade paper,
devoted a !6-page supplement to the
subject (Breast Health: The New
Era of Social Responsibility)

New Yorters tumed out in force
to last month s fourth annual New
York Race foi the Cure in Central
Park (the race was just one of 51
taking place across the country). The

AVON CALLING... Avon
Canada’s 55.000 independent sales
dealers contributed to the largest
fundraising drive in the company's
history. Through the sale of the $2
Avon Flame pin to customers
across Canada over the past year,
$625,000 was raised for the Breast
Cancer International Centre. A simi-
lar program is to be launched this
fall.

IN THE PINK... Throughout
October, beauty consultants at all
Estée Lauder and Clinique cosmet-
ics counters will be handing out pink
ribbons to help raise public aware-
ness, Estée Lauder has also intro-
duced a new lipstick shade, called
All-Day Pink Ribbon, with proceeds
going towards breast cancer
research.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT... The Bay
Downtown raises money for the
Canadian Breast Cancer Research
Initiative with Beauty on Stage.
There will be a Makeup Marathon
Oct. 15, 22 and 29, between 9:30
and 11 a.m., during which you can
book an appointment with your

line. On Saturday, Oct. 29, at 12:30

-and 1:30 p.m., there will be a pre-

sentation of the Look Good Feel
Better campaign, with makeup tips,

HAIR-RAISING COMPETI-
TION.... Joico has injected a dose of
reality into its second annual Hair
Fantasy Competition, to be held
Wednesday, Oct. 26 at Richards on
Richards in Vancouver. Proceeds
will be put towards breast cancer
research and programs through the

Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF)
to aid Canadian initiatives in breast
cancer research, treatment and edu-
cation.

BODY CARE ... During the month
of October, Crabtree & Evelyn will
donate to the CBCF $2 from the sale
of cach bath gel sold in any of the
company's 33 shops across Canada.
The bath and body-care retailer sug-
gests using the gel in the shower or

When donating to the Canadian
Cancer Society (CCS), look for the
familiar yellow daffodil, CCS*
trademark of hope, on a blue back-
ground with the slogan “Together
we can beat cancer.” Take note that
the National Cancer Fund has no
connection with CCS; donations col-
lected by the National Cancer Fund
will not go to CCS research and pro-
jects, despite any claims that may be
made by this organization. For more
information about CCS, phone the
toll-free line: 1-800-663-2524.
