Donna Forte wins The Peoples Choice' Award in the @axa_uk and @evening.standard Start up Angel competition. 

Donna Forte is a business launched from the personal experience of founder Caroline Hill 
Following a personal battle with Breast Cancer, Caroline has seen a gap in the market to provide creative, comfortable and high quality post-surgery garments for women who have had similar procedures. 
 
Currently the garments provided are very clinical, industrial looking and can sometimes be expensive. Following conversations with specialist hospitals, care providers, fellow breast cancer patients and lingerie stockists there is a place in the market for something that is fashionable, comfortable and at a competitive price point. 
 
This idea can be brought to life using Caroline’s background of over twenty years expertise in the fashion industry, With uplifting branding and products that can still be feminine, lets make women’s journeys no matter how difficult as prettyas possible.
