Pink Escape: When fashion meets awareness

Blending the worlds of glamour and goodwill, The Pink Escape is where fashion meets awareness supports the Fiji Cancer Society.

It also promotes women’s wellness, self-love, and early cancer awareness through fashion, beauty, and education.

Fiji’s fashion and health advocates will come together in a celebration of creativity, confidence, and compassion for the event dubbed as Fashion Meets Awareness, will be hosted by Style Maya Fiji at Fantasy Island, Nadi today from 3pm.

Event founder Cynthia Cebujano said Pink Escape was about blending creativity with community impact.

“Fashion is a powerful way to reach hearts and inspire change,” said Ms Cebujano.

“Through Pink Escape, we’re bringing awareness, beauty, and purpose together, encouraging women to feel beautiful, confident, and proactive about their health.”

Guests are encouraged to wear a touch of pink to show their support for cancer awareness.

“It promises an unforgettable evening where fashion, beauty, and wellness unite celebrating strength, confidence, and the unbreakable spirit of Pacific women.”

Pink Escape promises to be more than a runway show — it’s a statement of empowerment. Leading the event’s creative direction is Guest Stylist Nora Swann, the visionary founder of the Pacific Fusion Fashion Show in New Zealand and Dressed in Confidence, an initiative that helps women build self-esteem through styling and body positivity.

As part of the day’s programme, Ms Swann will also host an exclusive Live Styling workshop, where guests will learn practical fashion tips, confidence-boosting techniques, and how to embrace their personal style.

Joining her on the runway are Fiji’s own celebrated designers Ms Cebujano, Founder and Creative Designer of Style Maya Fiji; Rosie Emberson Semisi, designer of RES Fiji; and Moira Solvalu, founder of 8 Mountains. Together, their collections will showcase the strength and spirit of Pacific women through pieces inspired by pink — a universal symbol of courage and hope.

Adding depth to the event’s message, guest speakers from MIOT International and Aspen Lautoka Hospital will address women’s health and cancer awareness, emphasizing the life-saving importance of early detection and wellness checks.
