Red Dress - article by Whimsical Wire Articles

When we think about women’s health issues, we rarely think about heart conditions. However, heart disease is the number one cause of death for women. This news comes as a shock to many of us. The Heart Truth campaign was developed to heighten our awareness about heart disease in women.

The Heart Truth campaign has developed an iconic representation of its efforts, the Red Dress. Now that I see a scarlet colored dress, whether on a pin or on a lady, I now think of the importance of taking care of my heart. This illustrates how very powerful this image is for many of us.

The symbol of the red dress is one that holds so much power for many of us because of its very nature. Of course, they could not have possibly picked a more appropriate color for this icon. When we think of hearts, red naturally comes to mind. When we think of women and fashion there is no stronger image than the dress.

The launch of this campaign was initiated by former First Lady, Nancy Regan. She unveiled a display of red dresses worn by First Ladies over the years. This amazing collection of political fashions is truly breathtaking and it serves as a reminder of the Heart Truth campaign.

All of the fashions were donated by living First Ladies who have joined the Red Dress organization. These generous donations are truly remarkable and this collection has inspired other public figures to join in the awareness effort. Many of today’s most famous women are participating in this campaign.

The Red Dress Collection 2007 Fashion Show was a huge hit this year and it promises to bring many more events like this in the future. The event was sponsored by Johnson & Johnson and its affiliates. Many of today’s hottest celebrities participated in this outstanding event.

The Red Dress icon has been developed into a lovely enamel pin that can be worn as a reminder of this serious issue. The pin makes a wonderful statement but it also serves as an absolutely striking addition to a woman’s jewelry collection.

Whether you choose to attend an event, visit the exhibit or wear the enamel pin, it is very important that you consider your heart. The Red Dress symbol is a striking reminder that women need to take care of their bodies from the inside out. The heart is the place to start.
