With ovarian cancer particularly on Kiwi women’s minds at the moment after local superwoman Kiritapu Allen’s recent cervical cancer diagnosis, this year’s White Shirt Day - the 13th annual event organised by fashion brand Witchery to raise money for ovarian cancer research - feels particularly poignant and significant. For every Witchery White Shirt sold, Witchery will donate 100 per cent of gross proceeds to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). And from a purely fashion-related point of view (this is a style column after all), 2021 is the perfect year to invest in a Witchery White Shirt, as it’s also the first time in the history of the campaign that the brand has collaborated with a top fashion designer on the 2021 Witchery White Shirt style. “It’s a real honour to be able to contribute in my own way to this year’s Witchery White Shirt campaign,” says Maticevski. To donate directly, there are also a handful of highly deserving local ovarian cancer-related charities to choose from, including NZGCF, Talk Peach, Graci Foundation and Cure Our Ovarian Cancer.
