Miss Teen Virginia Merissa Pence to Study Merchandise Marketing at Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising

Miss Teen Virginia Merissa Pence, a newly enrolled student at FIDM

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 21, 2011

Miss Teen Virginia, Merissa Pence, has had a passion for fashion since she was a young girl growing up in Virginia Beach. This fall, Merissa will start her career at FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising’s Los Angeles campus. “The location in California fit me the best because I want to discover new experiences and its’ a lot like home with the beach and the city at the same time,” she says.

A competitive cheerleader who became involved in pageants in 2009, Merissa is interested in learning more about fashion merchandising, trend forecasting, and fashion production. She dreams of one day producing a Victoria’s Secret fashion show and says the runway event has inspired her. She will be studying Merchandise Marketing. “This is a major that you can really do anything with,” she explains. “I am still trying to finalize my career ambition, which is to become a fashion production manager.”

The Kellam High School senior, who has been a fashion director for her school’s annual fashion show, created an organization, K.I.S.S. (Keeping Infants Sleeping Safely), to teach teen babysitters about the precautions that need to be taken to prevent SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). She has also been an active fashion model for the last two years and will go on to represent Virginia at Nationals in July in Orlando, Florida before moving to California to attend FIDM.

With four dynamic California campuses, FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising is the premier west coast fashion design college, educating for careers in fashion, graphic design, interior design, and entertainment. FIDM’s graduates include renowned fashion designers like Monique Lhuillier, Emmy® and Academy Award® award-winning costume designers, top fashion industry executives, and entrepreneurs.

Precious, Lifelike Baby Doll from The Ashton-Drake Galleries Online

Lauren Baby Doll

Niles, IL (PRWEB) May 28, 2011

In an ongoing effort to bring the innocence and beauty of real babies to the world of collectible dolls through the work of important new artists, The Ashton-Drake Galleries Online is proud to introduce the work of a leading European Master Doll Artist, Brigit Gutzwiller. This artist’s astoundingly lifelike “Gentle Dreams, Lauren” baby doll is now part of Ashton-Drake’s multiple-award-winning line of So Truly Real® baby dolls.

Much like other doll artists who develop a passion for dolls in childhood – and then discover later that they have the rare talent to sculpt dolls as well – Ms. Gutzwiller loves every minute of her life’s work. It’s not just the sweetness and innocence of a baby’s facial features that fascinate her. She also tries to capture the subtle things that babies do, such as body movements and hand gestures, that communicate how babies feel without speaking a word.

“When we first saw Brigit’s ‘Lauren’ baby doll, we knew immediately how distinctive she was,” states a product designer from The Ashton-Drake Galleries. “Brigit’s ability to create a different personality for each baby, from the angle of the head to the shape of the mouth to the individual gestures in the hands, is simply amazing. When we brought her ‘Lauren’ doll to life in our SoftTouch vinyl with hand-applied baby hair, hand-painted features and classic infant costuming, the true level of this artist’s abilities came shining through.”

Upholding the high standards of the So Truly Real baby dolls from Ashton-Drake, Brigit Gutzwiller’s “Gentle Dreams, Lauren” is destined to bring baby doll lovers what they appreciate most: the highest level of craftsmanship, combined with a powerful emotional attraction to a baby girl doll who seems almost alive as you pick her up to hold her, so sweetly dreaming, in your arms.

The Ashton-Drake Galleries Online offers one of the best guarantees in the e-commerce marketplace, providing returns for one full year and free return shipping. Visit them at http://www.AshtonDrake.com.
