SOUTH BAY, Calif., (July, 2012) – Two local South Bay residents have been named the first finalists in South Bay Galleria’s Project Style contest, an online fashion competition which provides local fashion enthusiasts a chance to show off their unique styles through a regional and national platform. Round one winner, Christy Chen, and round two winner, Jennifer Gonzales, will now compete in a final Style-Off competition on September 15 for the grand prize:  a $1,000 shopping spree. The Finale Style-Off winner from South Bay Galleria will then have a chance to win the National Grand Prize, a trip to Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2013 in New York City with Nick Verreos.

Both Chen and Gonzales were selected from a pool of more than 50 candidates. Chen won a spot as a Project Style finalist by achieving more than 750 votes during round one, and Gonzales received more than 150 votes to win round two. Chen’s Project Style ensemble features clothing and accessories from Forever 21, Reflections, and Nordstrom, while Gonzales also selected items from Nordstrom and Forever 21, and included an item from Angl at South Bay Galleria.
