Over 20 of today’s hottest celebrities together on the runway in fashions created by America’s top designers for women’s heart health. On Friday, February 13, under the tents in New York’s Bryant Park, The Heart Truth will hold its sixth annual Red Dress Collection Fashion Show—an inspiring event that celebrates the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness. Checkout backstage photos of the Heart Truth 2005 Fall Collection here.

Heart Truth is making progress in the fight against heart disease in women—more women are aware that heart disease is their #1 killer, and fewer are dying from it.  But, one in four American women still dies of heart disease, and one-third of women still underestimate their own personal risk of heart disease.

Women have tremendous power to reduce their risk of heart disease.  By leading a healthy lifestyle, Americans can lower their risk of heart disease by as much as 82 percent.  Getting serious about heart disease can mean a longer, healthier life.

Also this February, through a partnership with Clothes Off Our Back, a selection of red designer dresses worn by celebrities in The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection Fashion Shows will be auctioned at www.clothesoffourback.org.  A selection of the dresses up for auction will be on display at Rockefeller Center’s Top of the Rock Observation Deck from February 14 through February 21.   Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health and will be used to further efforts related to women’s heart health awareness and research.
