Willow Grove Park Mall Teens Show They've Got Style

Local fashion-forward teens involved with recently hit the runway during the mall’s annual Spring Fashion Show. The teens walked the walk showcasing the seasons’ most popular fashion trends, from color blocking and animal prints to sequins and florals, while friends, family and mall shoppers took notes.

Members of the Willow Grove Park Style Squad are selected by mall representatives based on the teens’ flare for fashion, interest in retail and desire to contribute to the community as Style Squad members.

The teens were chosen from schools throughout the region to take part in the production of, and participate in, fall and spring fashion shows, holidays and special events, and community service projects on behalf of the mall.

In return for their participation, Willow Grove Park provides members with monthly programs to promote self-development, such as informal and runway modeling, hair, make-up and skin care workshops and self-defense and personal safety workshops.

Willow Grove Park’s Style Squad is part of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust’s (PREIT) PREIT Cares program, the company's springboard for charitable giving and community awareness campaigns. PREIT Cares is an umbrella which supports PREIT’s Five Pillars: Healthcare, Education, Arts, Social Responsibility and Sustainability. As central gathering places in their communities, PREIT malls are ideal venues for raising awareness for important and timely causes.  PREIT encourages its malls to be active respondents to these issues in a way that is meaningful for the communities they serve.
