Orange County's Iconic Fashionista!
DANA POINT, Calif., May 7, 2012 — Fashion Destination Group (FDG) and Working Wardrobes are proud to announce their two newest guest speakers for the June 9th Fashion Extravaganza at the Luxurious St. Regis Hotel in South Orange county. Kelly Gray, known by her tall, sleek body and her amazing blonde hair, will be bringing her line — Royal Underground — and her knowledge of the fashion industry to the masses. Gray and Nikki Six of Motley Crue formed Royal Underground clothing and have revitalized fashion as we know it. "My favorite Royal Underground item is my Full Length Cashmere Pea Coat," states Grey. Gray's experience as the former CEO of Orange County-based St. John Knits, and her role as their creative consultant, give her the knowledge and experience that is valuable to the industry. Sari Ratsula of Seychelles Footwear will bring her knowledge of footwear design and wear-ability, as well as vintage-inspired designs with a modern twist. Ratsula, formerly the Senior VP/Sales and Product Development for Vans, is now the head Queen Bee/President of Seychelles Footwear. Two of the industry's fashion-forward thinkers will share their knowledge of the world of fashion as guest speakers in the seminar series sponsored by FDG. These Panel sessions are not to be missed!
FDG has instilled a "Community Outreach Program" by selecting 15 businesses from the surrounding communities. These businesses will receive media, website and on-site exposure to help in branding their business. The nomination form for these coveted positions, can be found at .
Partnering with Event Farm, a new way of paperless ticketing, will make this event flow smoothly, not only for the event planners but for those in attendance as well. With the use of Electronic Ticket Transferring, promo codes, arrival alerts of key people, and electronic guest check in the event is primed for efficiency. This new system, along with nearly 300 volunteers is a guarantee for success!
