Ximena Valero for Kellogg's Special K

Ximena Valero is proud to partner with Kellogg's Special K as part of their successful women commercial series. Ximena was selected for the series based on her success as a fashion designer. Here is her commercial below:



Transcript of commercial:

I have known that designing was my dream since I was a little girl. It has not been easy to succeed in the fashion industry, but it has brought me an enormous sense of satisfaction.

For us women it is extremely important to look good, have a healthy body, and take care of ourselves. A piece of clothing is not enough, you need a good attitude and confidence in yourself to achieve it. My biggest accomplishment has been to create transformable fashions. My goal is that women express and find their own authenticity in my clothing; I want them to feel confident and beautiful. When I'm draping fabric on a mannequin I'm not thinking of the garments' final look, instead I'm visualizing the woman looking and feeling great.

I'm Ximena Valero, fashion designer, and I taste my success with Special K.


We're so proud of Ximena and thank Kellogg's for the opportunity. For more information about Ximena, please see: www.ximenavalero.com/designer

Aura Nightclub Fashion and Trunk Show







Our fashion show at Aura Nightclub on Thursday, 07/29/2010, in Studio City, was full of bright colors and high energy.  The reversible dresses looked stunning, showing pops of color at the hems and necklines.

The rest of the looks included gowns and jumpsuits -- plenty of choices for all types of party girls.

The trunk show that followed also generated a lot of buzz, as fans were able to appreciate the designs up-close and try on their favorite looks.  As always, Ximena's collection won over more admirers that night...
Our favorite moment of the night was fellow fashion designer Justin Kopplin walking the runway.  Talk about stealing the show!
