From a medical student who recently lost 100-pounds who’s now looking for new clothes — to a single mother and out of work nurse, living in a shelter with her child and in need of clothes for job interviews — to a husband/wife winning team who recently lost weight together — to a fashion student drop out who went to work to help pay her parent’s bills …
EACH AND EVERY WINNER OF THE CONTEST HAS A STORY TO TELL …
AND A WELL DESERVED NEED FOR A FASHION MAKEOVER!
Eleven Long Island, Queens and NYC residents are the very deserving winners of a fashion makeover contest held by the Green Acres Mall. The mall challenged people to write in and explain why they deserved to win a fall fashion makeover, will award each winner with a half-day makeover session at the Green Acres Mall with one of New York City’s top fashion stylists, Denise Delise, plus a $200 gift certificate from Green Acres, to help pay for their new looks.
