Fashion plus a good cause

The now-signature Bikini Under the Bridge Swimwear and Active Wear show returns next month with a dual purpose — to display a new array of hot fashions and to raise funds to combat breast cancer. An ethnic array of models will sashay along runways at JRG Entertainment’s anticipated show (photo below) July 9 at the 26 Bridge event space, 26 Bridge St., in DUMBO, Brooklyn.

This year, in addition to displaying apparel, Bikini Under the Bridge will honor the life and contributions of Karen Pompey Giddings, the late wife of Guyana-born J.R. Giddings, the producer of the event and head of JRG Entertainment.

Pompey Giddings, a key contributor to the annual show, died of breast cancer last year, and a portion of the event's proceeds will be donated to the Anne Moore Breast Cancer Research Fund at Weill Cornell Breast Center in Manhattan, where she was treated. The center is part of New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell.
