JCPenney kicked off New York Fashion Week with A Modern Day Fairytale brunch in celebration of its retail collaboration with Disney to promote the release of “Cinderella,” a live-action feature film inspired by the classic fairy tale debuting in theaters on March 13th.
Celebrity judges including Katie Holmes, JCPenney Style Voice Nina Garcia and JCPenney designer partner Charlotte Ronson judged a panel of nine students from the Fashion School at Kent State University as they live sketched their interpretation of a modern day fairy tale look using Cinderella’s actual dress from the film as inspiration. Winner, Jay Lewis’ sketch will be produced by JCPenney and displayed at the Manhattan Mall location as well as a $5,000 scholarship to assist with his/her continued education at Kent State University.
