Inspired by each woman’s openness in sharing her courageous battle with breast cancer, Dillard’s Vice President of Merchandising, Alexandra Dillard Lucie, invited each to design an Antonio Melani dress and coordinating shoe expressing her journey through fashion. Alexandra notes, “The way in which these young women have approached this terrible illness has been an exceptional inspiration to many. They didn’t allow cancer to dull their spirits or fabulous fashion sensibility even when in treatment. Their openness to sharing their journeys with others is a reminder that cancer can hit anyone of any age, but it doesn’t have to keep you from telling your story. Using our fashion platform in partnership with these amazing women, we're furthering the fight against breast cancer, and we are honored to stand beside those who face this diagnosis."

Describing her designs for Antonio Melani, Stacy shares, “Throughout my breast cancer journey, fashion was the main way I could truly feel like myself on the outside, no matter how I felt on the inside. Getting dressed each morning had a whole new meaning, so I had to make it count... and make it fabulous! To spread awareness, I began to wear my pink every Wednesday in support of those who have been affected by breast cancer because, like birds of a feather, we are stronger together. I dream that this dress will make everyone feel beautiful, but most of all supported, no matter what they are going through."
