In addition to the Superbowl, Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday this week is also fashion week in New York City. And while most shows simply offer a sneak peak at upcoming high-end trends, The Heart Truth Red Dress Show last week not only has style but also has, well heart.

The event which features singers, actresses and supermodels in red designer dresses, is held to raise awareness about heart disease — a leading killer of women. This year Liza Minnelli took the audience by surprise at New York Fashion Week by singing her signature song “New York, New York” on the runway of The Heart Truth Red Dress show.
