Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC) began in 1994 as the U.S. fashion industry’s response to breast cancer -Inspired by Ralph Lauren in memory of his late friend Nina Hyde, The Washington Post columnist who died of breast cancer. Since its launch, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer has become the worldwide fashion community’s singular and most successful response to breast cancer – an issue of vital importance to its primary consumers: women.

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, the charitable program of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is teaming up with QVC and launching QVC Designer Charms for Charity.
The monthlong initiative on the TV shopping network will offer specially designed charms by CFDA members who are already part of QVC’s regular roster, including Stan Herman, Marc Bouwer, Anthony Nak, Bradley Bayou, Dean Harris and Victor Costa, to benefit FTBC.
The charms will be priced from about $20 to $100 and 100 percent of net proceeds will go to FTBC. The program will launch at QVC.com on Sept. 1 and the pieces will be promoted during QVC’s New York Fashion Week broadcasts, scheduled from Sept. 10 to 16. Depending on the supply, the charms will be available at the QVC site until the end of September.
The shoot was a blast with everyone doing their bit in support of the great cause. Milk Studios donated the studio and equipment, Veronica Webb was my model (lucky me!) and of course raises the profile of the charms campaign significantly.

Hi Nigel,
Firstly I Love your work! Im a student photographer and would love to get to the level you are at one day but just getting into the field would be amazing!
I was wondering what camera it is that you shoot with I always see you with that huge one. I`m in the market for a new camera and wondered if you had a good semi-pro camera in mind? I currently use a Nikon D40 mainly for the affordability!
If you have time it would be awesome if you could take a look at my site, and even letting me know what you think.
Thanks very much, take it easy!
