On October 19, 2025, the elegant interiors of Clarion Hotel Stockholm glowed in shades of pink — a color that has long symbolized hope, strength, and solidarity with women fighting breast cancer. On this day, a remarkable event took place – the “Pink Fashion Show to honor breast cancer victims”, organized by Golden Age Models in collaboration with Green Little Heart.

This was not an ordinary fashion show. It was a celebration of life, courage, and beauty that persists despite pain and challenging experiences.
The pink ribbon-themed world served as a backdrop for a story about feminine strength. The show combined haute couture aesthetics with a profound social message — reminding everyone that fashion can be not only a visual feast but also a language of empathy and community.
The runway featured designs inspired by pink — not just as a color, but as a symbol of solidarity. The program also included conversations with “survivors” — women who had battled the disease and walked the stage with heads held high, offering strength to others through their presence. The memory of those who have passed away was also honored, becoming a part of this pink ritual of hope.
In Stockholm, a city renowned for its conscious design and social engagement, the event held particular significance. It demonstrated that fashion is not a vain decoration, but a space for dialogue, empathy, and solidarity.
One of the symbolic moments of the evening was the presentation of an artistic gift to Golden Age Models — a hand-painted pink ribbon created by the artist and designer Halina Rosa.
This gesture was conceived by Margareta Wilbik, who, in collaboration with Halina, decided to present a gift that combined beauty with meaning. The hand-painted roses, intertwined with the pink ribbon — roses being the signature motif of Halina’s work — became more than decoration; they symbolized life, delicacy, and strength all at once.
The ribbon, so universally symbolic, was transformed by the artist into a true work of art — a unique emblem of solidarity, gratitude, and remembrance. It was a perfect example of how art can speak from the heart, when words alone are not enough.
That evening, Clarion Hotel, a hub for Stockholm’s art and cultural scene, became a space of elegance and emotion. The scenery, lighting, and fashion were all rendered in subtle shades of pink, symbolically uniting participants in a shared story of courage and hope.
Representatives from the worlds of fashion, art, media, social organizations, and many invited guests attended the event. Every person present became part of something larger — a collective gesture of support and empathy.
The “Pink Fashion Show” proved to be more than just a runway — it was a manifesto of style, awareness, and humanity. For fashion enthusiasts, it was an opportunity to experience creative designs in a meaningful context. For supporters of women’s health initiatives, it was a moment of personal engagement. And for all, it was a time to reflect on how fragile, yet profoundly beautiful, life can be.
As one attendee remarked, “Pink is not a color of weakness. It is a color of courage.”
And it was precisely this courage — in fashion, in art, and in life — that could be felt during the “Pink Fashion Show” at Clarion Hotel Stockholm.
