Breast cancer survivors strut their stuff on the runway

By: News 8 Austin Staff

The wearable works of art are auctioned off.  
Breast Cancer survivors hit the runway, sporting bras designed and signed by survivors, supporters and celebrities at the third annual Art Bra Fashion show Saturday night.

The one-of-a-kind pieces of art are then auctioned off with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas.

"Being able to model an art bra in a show like this really helps these women feel empowered and beautiful and feminine again and really get back in touch with their self image and feel like a woman," Barbara Formichelli, with the resource center, said.
