Teen Vogue hosted Back – To – School Saturdays with Simon Property Group at Arundel Mills Mall on Saturday, August 8, 2015. I had the opportunity to attend as a blogger and this was a fun event!
Back – To – School Saturdays started at the registration table where mall guests could register for coupons and savings. Music was played by a local DJ while guests enjoyed cupcakes, mocktails, and pretzels. Vendor booths where also in place to provide hair and beauty makeovers along with John Casablancas Modeling Agency.
The retailers featured in the fashion show included Banana Republic, Express, and The Loft. Models came out and walked the floor to showcase fashion trends. To help guests capture the event via social media, everyone was asked to use the hashtag #BTSS and #FoundatSimon for a chance to print photos at the photobox. Overall, this was a great way to bring fashion awareness to the area and get everyone excited for the upcoming school year.
