A fashion student at 探花直播 has designed a huge bra for 探花直播鈥檚 鈥楩loozie in the Jacuzzi鈥� to wear in October, as part of a campaign raising awareness of breast cancer.
Working in conjunction with West Midlands-based charity, Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer, student Zoe Lockett hopes her giant bra will stop passers-by.
鈥淚 wanted to create something that was really feminine but also attracted a lot of attention鈥� said Zoe, from Heath Hayes in Cannock.
鈥淚鈥檝e added lots of flowers to the bra and it even has lights too. Hopefully it鈥檚 quite a head-turner!鈥�
Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer was established in 2000 and has helped to raise over 拢1 million for 探花直播 Queen Elizabeth Hospital鈥檚 cancer unit.
The charity hosts fundraising activities throughout the year, with all of the money staying within the West Midlands and helping breast cancer patients within a 70-mile radius of the QE hospital.
Veronica Kumeta, co-founder of Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer, said: 鈥淟adies Fighting Breast Cancer are very grateful to Zoe for all her hard work in designing and making the bra on behalf of our charity as we kick start Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
鈥淲e bought the first pink mobile mammogram unit in the country, based in Selly Oak, as we are always looking for ways to promote awareness of this terrible disease in our diverse community.鈥�
The Floozie in the Jacuzzi鈥檚 official name is 鈥楾he River鈥� and is part of a set of sculptures in 探花直播鈥檚 Victoria Square created by Indian sculptor, Dhruva Mistry.
