Video: Get More Mileage out of Your Wardrobe with 'Jones New York Style Miles' Featuring Lloyd Boston



GET MORE MILEAGE OUT OF YOUR WARDROBE WITH "JONES NEW YORK STYLE MILES" FEATURING LLOYD BOSTON


New York, NY, March 5, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — This Spring Jones New York introduces a new in-store event series that helps women maximize their current wardrobes and stretch their clothing budgets. JNY Style Miles, featuring exclusive JNY style expert Lloyd Boston, will travel across the country to help women utilize the clothes they already have in their closet while adding key seasonal pieces from Jones New York to create a recession proof wardrobe. The in-store tour kicks off in March.

The JNY Style Miles program also has an online video component, featured on jny.com, where Mr. Boston will be hosting 12 episodes on topics to help women focus on their style without a big price tag.

The in-store events will feature a wardrobe clinic where Mr. Boston will show women how to take the "closet classics" they already own and mix and match with key Spring items from Jones New York for a refreshed wardrobe. Following the show, Mr. Boston will personally shop with women to help implement the JNY Style Miles principles. Guests at the events will receive a DVD copy of select JNY Style Miles episodes along with a sneak peek of Mr. Boston's new show on Fine Living Network, Closet Cases. Attendees will also receive a special gift with a Jones New York purchase.

"In today's economic environment, we're all digging deeper to do more with what we have, but that does not mean style must suffer due to a limited clothing budget. One of my fashion philosophies has always been to refresh your style by maximizing what is in your closet," says Mr. Boston. "I'm excited to work with Jones New York on launching this program and reaching out to women I know will embrace the JNY Style Miles program."

"For over 30 years, Jones New York has connected with women by helping them define their personal style, and offering a variety of programs to enhance women's lives. The JNY Style Miles program helps women see the hidden value they already have in their closets and build upon that for a truly maximized wardrobe. The JNY Style Miles program is very accessible as well with in-store events and online video episodes," says Amy Rapawy, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Jones New York.
