THE bras of some of Britain’s most well known celebrities have been transformed into art by a former Hampshire schoolteacher and displayed in a London museum.

Sharon White created the artwork using lace, ribbons and bows taken from bras signed by celebrities including Loose Women’s Denise Welch, Strictly Come Dancing’s Tess Daly and Location Location Location’s Kirstie Allsop to raise awareness of breast cancer and charity Breast Cancer Care.

The mum-of-two and step-mum-of-one started the project in March, travelling the country with the charity holding art workshops with 60 women affected by the disease.

The 41-year-old from Highcliffe had been head of art at The Mountbatten School in Romsey for 16 years but left in 2012 when she contracted pleurisy, a condition affecting the lungs.

Healthy again, she now runs an art tutoring business.

The new artwork was unveiled at London’s Fashion and Textile Museum by Denise Welch and Jian Farhadi, head of oncoplastic surgery at Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital in London.

It will be on display until December 1.
