Talk About Them’ is running for its third year, encouraging discussions with women about reproductive health. Proceeds from the limited edition collection will go to funding early detection tests.

“Ovarian Cancer is the deadliest female cancer – yet still, there is no test,” said Camilla Freeman Topper, Creative Director. “Women deserve a test.

Through this bold campaign, we are driving a new conversation for ovarian cancer so that women can feel confident to talk about their bodies, and rightly claim what they deserve as a basic healthcare right.”
