LG Fashion Week: The Heart Truth Fashion Show 2010

Joannie Rochette, Ashleigh McIvor, Kathleen Robertson, Keshia Chanté, Tanya Kim and many other Canadian notables strutted and werked their stuff during LG Fashion Week’s Heart Truth Fashion Show last week, sporting the latest hot-red looks from top Canadian designers, including Andy Thê-Anh, David Dixon, Paul Hardy, and Pat McDonagh. Erin Cebula’s Karamea dress is my favorite of the bunch, but Joannie Rochette’s runway pose just killed it! Go girl!

The annual show is meant to bring more awareness and to “shine the spotlight” on women’s heart health. Did you know that heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death for Canadian women? It is very scary. The Heart Truth campaign aims to raise awareness among women of ways to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke, and give them the tools they need to protect themselves. Please check out the Heart and Stroke foundation site to evaluate your own risks, as well as to see more beautiful dresses worn at the fashion show.
