It’s the pink month of the year once again! This year’s Pink Project sees a collaboration with seven of Malaysia’s most prominent designers to promote awareness for breast cancer. Sonny San for Eclipse, Sereni & Shentel, Bowerhaus, InnaiRed, Celest Thoi, Alia Bastamam and Melinda Looi have all been incredibly supportive on our journey to pledge breast cancer awareness nationwide. BAZAAR speaks to the designers on their style and what the colour pink truly means to them.

What does the colour pink mean to you?

It symbolises love, warmth and happiness.

How does your design/creation also represent your style as a local designer?

We created two timeless piece that can be easily worn with other accessories which is a reflection of our design aesthetic.

What were you thinking of when designing the pink ribbon for the campaign this year?

We were so honoured to be included with so many other amazing designers. We wanted to create something women would love to wear not only at the charity drive but for many months to come. We wanted to keep the design true to the pink theme to remind the wearer that we need to band together and spread breast cancer awareness to our fellow sisters.

Wear your ribbon loud and proud in support of breast cancer!

How should a woman feel when wearing your design?

 They should feel em-bower-ed and proud that they have made a contribution to a worthy cause.

Do you have any close friends/family members who’ve encountered breast cancer? How did it feel providing support and egging them on?

We know many survivors who have battled the disease and have helped with numerous charity drives. It is a wonderful thing to be able to help be it in a big or a small way. Every amount helps.
