Created in 2002 by The Heart Truth, the Red Dress was launched as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness at New York's Fashion Week in February 2003 in partnership with America's top fashion designers. The launch put the issue of women and heart disease in the national spotlight with the introduction of the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness, underscoring the message that "Heart Disease Doesn't Care What You Wear–It's the #1 Killer of Women."
Each February since its launch, the Red Dress symbol has come to life on the runway with the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show.
