pr_060110 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAHR.ES.IHM DEBUTS IN BAY AREA: NEW UPSCALE FASHION LINE WITH COMPASSIONNew fashion line, ahr.es.ihm™ launches at A Night of Wine & Fashion runway tour. CEO and designer R. Shay Miles comes full circle to deliver high-fashion and daywear designer clothing - both offer a signature aesthetic and timeless sophistication for the virtuous woman and maverick male.SAN FRANCISCO, California - June 1, 2010 - R. Shay Miles (California) CEO and designer of ahr.es.ihm™ LLC (http://www.ahresihm.com), launched the fashion line in September 2009. She will debut the first collection, Goddess, on June 5, 2010 in San Francisco, CA at 'A Night of Wine & Fashion' and releasing the collection to retail stores in early July 2010. "Everything seems to be falling into place at the right time," says Shay. R. Shay Miles, a savvy down-to-earth, smarty-pants marketer, decided she was unhappy not using her God-given talent in fashion design and wanted to make sure her designs made a statement and the brand made an immersive statement as well. With ahr.es.ihm's lifestyle mantra: be renewed. be of excellence - it also serves as a conduit when Shay refers to a model as a "fierce b.r.b.e." The mantra works in parallel across the brand's overall vision and philanthropic mission; designing for the virtuous woman and the maverick male and supporting at-risk communities.Shay has been committed to the high-fashion scene for some time now for a private clientele and has taken her passion to the next level with this line. The new line is a true reflection of Shay. The concept began when she was a young girl, inspired by vintage Hollywood glamour and being fascinated by the special occasion clothing her mother and father wore. Building on a foundation of being s.e.t. (sexy, elegant, and timeless), each collection and couture design, both add flavors that bring the pieces to life in both fabric and adornment. Featuring unique, bold and metallic colors and distinctive fabrics and embellishments, every design is innovative and is an expression of best-in-class style and individuality. "The Goddess Collection embodies the passion of Shay and I'm excited to work with her in accomplishing her goals", said RD Bridgeman, Chief Operations Officer of ahr.es.ihm LLC. "Her determination, enthusiasm and fresh take on the fashion scene is not only praised by the team at ahr.es.ihm, but by fellow designers as well. She is always designing with someone in mind. Once, I asked who had inspired her to design this gorgeous [unreleased] gown and Shay said, I was inspired by the two-headed monster, because anyone would look stunning in this, it's a show stopper. " Giving back to others and supporting community enrichment and youth development are profound initiatives for the brand. Shay has extended her own personal passion to support at-risk communities through volunteerism and now through a corporate commitment to donate a percentage of ahr.es.ihm's proceeds to support victims of substance abuse and The House of Acts, Inc. in Vallejo, CA. ahr.es.ihm's donations provide opportunity for youth and families to focus on family strengthening, positive lifestyle changes, community-wide activation, and gain marketable experience. Look for ahr.es.ihm in 3 runway shows this year, 7th Annual Fashion on the Square (FOTS), A Night of Wine & Fashion, and Spring on the Runway. July 2010 will be the release of Gaudy or Gorgeous, which will be ahr.es.ihm's fashion blog with articles, video, interviews, fashion news, and the opinion of what's haute and what's not.

pr030211 IT'S CHRISTMAS IN APRIL WITH LIFE-CHANGING FASHIONSahr.es.ihm™ Showcases One-of-a-Kind Fall/Holiday Fashions Exclusively at Charity Fashion Show and Discarded to DivineSAN FRANCISCO, California - March 2, 2011 - For many years, ahr.es.ihm™ has worked with charitable organizations in creating an atmosphere of health and wellness and positive lifestyle change. Since mid-year 2010, ahr.es.ihm™ has been anxious to participate in two charitable fashion shows for 2011, the Charity Fashion Show and Discarded to Divine.Both, Charity Fashion Show and Discarded to Divine, were created to bridge the cutting-edge and trendsetting, fashion industry with the powerful impact of non-profit organizations."As a brand that puts a womans grace and elegance first, I wanted to create a desirable, fun, and wearable collection that offers something for a variety of tastes," the designer (R. Shay Miles), who began her eponymous acronym label in 2009, told SF Indie Fashion. This is our first event for the Charity Fashion Show and Discarded to Divine, and we hope to make a difference with unique designs that embodies the message and reflects the beauty of each charitable organization.Profoundly inspired by grace, elegance, and empowering those who clearly need assistance, ahr.es.ihm™ decided to exclusively launch its Fall/Holiday 2011 Collection at the Charity Fashion Show (http://charityfashionshow.org) on April 2 at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. This collection offers ahr.es.ihms signature asymmetrical designs with an edgy attitude. The collection will be sold primarily at True Essence Boutique in Piedmont, CA beginning September 10.Simultaneously, while finalizing the collection, Miles kept Discarded to Divine as a design secret for months. When she found a shower curtain and gold drapes from the St. Vincent de Paul Societys discard bin, she envisioned an eco-friendly holiday evening gown. Five designs were illustrated, but only one will be unveiled and auctioned at Discarded to Divine (http://discardedtodivine.org) on April 28 at The Hall at St. Marys Cathedral in San Francisco. "ahr.es.ihm is thrilled to participate in fun and innovative events like the Charity Fashion Show and Discarded to Divine," said Rochelle D. Bridgeman, COO. "We are thrilled to champion charitable concepts like these, which helps to promote cultural diversity, community involvement, and homeless outreach."While no images of the Fall/Holiday Collection or recycled design have been released, design highlights include festive gold tones, silk, faux fur, feathers, and fluid grandeur.Besides being available at True Essence Boutique, the collection will be offered later in the year in other California locations like San Francisco, Napa, and Los Altos, visit http://ahresihm.com, click on shop.About Charity Fashion ShowCharity Fashion Show (CFS) strives towards arts promotion, cultural diversity, community involvement, and global outreach. We believe that the visual arts, fashion particularly, should have a larger stake in the artistic realm of the West Coast, and should work as a vehicle for promoting social change and for promoting social change throughout the Bay Area, across the United States, and around the globe. Moreover, our keystone show in Spring specifically gives to a charity that will have international impact. CFS uses charity and outreach as a means of transforming the world around us into a positive, diverse environment. Charity Fashion Show is an annual event recognized as "the best runway show on the West Coast" by SF Examiner. About Discarded to DivineDiscarded to Divine is a charitable event showcasing the talents of professional and aspiring designers who transform discarded, donated clothing into one-of-a-kind couture creations and exquisite home décor which are auctioned to benefit those overcoming poverty, homelessness and domestic violence.About ahr.es.ihm™ LLCahr.es.ihm™, shay's alter-ego, zena™, and 13 Personalities™, divisions of ahr.es.ihm™ LLC, were founded by American fashion designer, R.
