Ana Valdés, Communications Coordinator for the DPD, said that early detection programs are a fundamental tool to combat breast cancer, allowing for the implementation of more effective therapeutic strategies. From its inception, DominicanaModa was born in the spirit of social responsibility, demonstrating that fashion is a tool capable of providing well-being among the people. This is especially true given that many Dominican families work in and depend on the clothing industry which is an important factor in that a large percentage of the country’s economy depends on exports from this sector. As a result, and moved by the need that exists in various levels of the society, DominicanaModa created “Fashion for Help.” Funds collected at this event are earmarked for this important cause. DominicanaModa will take place from October 19-24 in the El Embajador Hotel.
