On March 10, the remaining six designers of the Gemini award-winning reality series was challenged to create an artistic evening gown using many variations of a single innovative product, the Post-it Note.
Each designer was paired with a woman afflicted with breast cancer who modeled the creations that were auctioned off to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. The winning pink/green dress was made by Jessica (right). (Post-it 3M purchased the gown through auction for $10,000)
“These beautiful and inspirational models exhibit the strength and courage this disease requires," said Sherry Browne, Post-it brand manager, 3M Canada. "This episode of Project Runway Canada gives us the opportunity to align with a cause the brand strongly supports while showcasing creative and innovative uses of Post-it products."
