The Cashmere Collection 2021

An unlikely pairing but it works! Every year Cashmere (the Canadian bathroom tissue brand) holds their annual fashion show where noted Canadian designers are tasked with creating a unique gown out of bathroom tissue. And this highly coveted fashion show becomes the fashion star of the Canadian fashion scene. This year being their 18th runway show, Cashmere presented The NEW Belle Époque. With 16 designers who gave their reinterpretation of the classic turn of the 20th Century French vibe. The socially-distanced evening which was the first in over 18 months, was helmed by noted internationally acclaimed fashion director Joe Zee who serves as the curator for the show for a third consecutive year.

Funds that are raised are earmarked for Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation (QBCF). Throughout October, twenty-five cents from the sale of every limited-edition pink package of Cashmere Bathroom Tissue goes directly towards breast cancer efforts, up to a maximum of $50,000 CAD.  Among the designers who showcased their unique work included Toronto’s own Anisha Kumar who shared with us her insights on being part of this unique event and the importance of raising funds for this cause.

Hina P. Ansari How important do you think it is for companies like Kruger to host campaigns like The Cashmere Collection during the month Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

Anisha Kumar: Unity and timing are crucial factors in amplifying our voices. When everyone speaks about breast cancer during breast cancer awareness month, the message becomes stronger, louder and more focused.
Companies with large platforms, like Kruger, help bring exponential amounts of awareness to important causes. People pay attention to these companies because they trust them. If we want to see positive changes in the world and support each other, the first step is speaking out and creating opportunities for everyone to gather and focus their efforts. The Cashmere Collection fashion show gives an opportunity for everyone to get involved, spread the message and take action.

HPA: Could you share your experience of participating in The Cashmere Collection 2021?

AK: Participating in the show this year was unreal! It was so well organized and sophisticated. The designers and team did an incredible job elevating a household product into a work of art. I’m so happy that I was able to take part in a show that not only exemplifies tremendous creativity and skill, but truly benefits our society. It was quite the challenge creating a design in the midst of COVID (especially considering my normal studio was closed and a lot of my go-to suppliers were closed). I had to think outside the box to use tools that were accessible. I was able to keep the design eco-friendly by using recycled materials in the lining. Watching the show was a surreal experience and it really inspired me for future designs! The full show is now available on Crave, for anyone who wants to see the full show and some behind the scenes content.

HPA: Would you say that you have a personal connection to the show?

AK: The show was actually very timely. Shortly after being invited to participate, one of my really good friends mentioned her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Hearing her story broke my heart. It’s such a tough experience for families.

In a way, it makes me happy that Cashmere was able to contribute to this cause and make an effort to help people like my friend’s mom. It was a huge reason for why I immediately wanted to participate in the show.

For the first time The Cashmere Collection 2021 can be streamed in Canada on Crave where the runway show can be seen in Cashmere Couture For The Show.
