designs inspired by the virtuous woman
fruit for thought

ahr.es.ihm's virtuous woman is a giver! strength and honor are her clothing. shes a fashion plate (sophisticated and contemporary) herself and makes sure that her family always looks sharp. she is never lazy, but stays active in spirit, body, and soul by:
designs inspired by the maverick male
ahr.es.ihm® classifies a maverick male as an inspiration, far exceeding a president or CEO. his wealth is not determined by status or income, his wealth is wisdom. ahr.es.ihm's maverick male has joy on his face, glide in his stride, and excitement in his eyes. he celebrates his successes with the woman he loves and adores.
through his experience, he has been presented with words of encouragement that ignited the flame of passion that produced a maverick male, one that is:
fashion bridal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AHR.ES.IHM DEBUTS IN BAY AREA: NEW UPSCALE FASHION LINE WITH COMPASSION
New 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.

LOCAL DESIGNER HITS THE RUNWAY WITH FASHION ON THE SQUARE
Fashion Editor: Moya Stone
OAKLAND, California - Oakland Fashion Examiner - August 4, 2010 - The East Bay has it goin on lately with a thriving group of topnotch fashion designers. R. Shay Miles is the latest addition to the list, having started her clothing line in September 2009. Since then Shay has participated in two fashion shows and she is currently getting ready for the biggest runway show on the West Coast, Fashion on the Square happening Saturday, August 14 under the dome in San Franciscos Westfield Centre.
Shay caught the design bug early in life and continued to hone her natural skills all through college and while working on a successful marketing career. In 1999 she decided to devote more time to fashion design and before long she had built up a small exclusive clientele. Still, Shay says she felt she wasnt living to her full potential. I wasnt happy, explains Shay. I was missing my passion. She knew it was time to start her own line.
Thus was born ahr.es.ihm offering womens contemporary sportswear and shays alter ego, zena offering haute couture, bridal and evening wear. Old Hollywood movies are a source of inspiration for Shay and when blocked she will pop in a DVD. "Imitation of Life is my favorite movie", say's Shay. "Lana Turner was gorgeous in anything she wore." Shay describes her design aesthetic as elegant, timeless and sophisticated. Asymmetry is her signature look and she strives to create wearable fashion.
Dont miss Shay's Goddess Collection featured with other Bay Area designers at the 7th Annual Fashion on the Square. Saturday, August 14, noon-5pm, Westfield Center Dome, 865 Market Street, San Francisco.

FEATURED FASHION ARTIST: R. SHAY MILES
Blogger: Talenthouse
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California - August 13, 2010 - R. Shay Miles is a fashion designer located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California who began her own line, ahr.es.ihm, in September 2009. She's since participated in two successful fashion shows and is continuously working hard to make a name for herself in the fashion world. Shay finds so much pleasure in designing, especially being able to give creativity and form to dynamic fashion concepts. She aspires to ensure that each customer is "recognized" rather than simply being seen. She's extremely passionate about her signature designs in contemporary sportswear, ready-to-wear, fashion bridal, and haute couture.
Interview between Talenthouse and Shay:
Q.) Whose current collection do you wish you had designed?
A.) If I could have designed another designers collection, it would be Donna Karens Spring 2010 Collection. This collection has ruffles, chiffon, and a gorgeous representation of the well-dressed woman.
Q.) Who is your greatest fashion influence?
A.) My greatest fashion influence is more of a time-period: Vintage Hollywood between 1920-1960 is inspiring. It covers Givenchy, Lana Turner, Bette Davis, and Joan Crawford.
Q.) If you could have one celebrity/known person wear your design, who would it be?
A.) This was the toughest question, since my designs are always a reflection of someone in mind. But if I could design for one celebrity, it would have to be Tinsley Mortimer. Oprah is my 1.5 choice!
Q.) If you were a touring musician, whats the one thing you would request to have in your backstage area every night?
A.) If I were a touring musician, the one thing I would request to have in my backstage area every night would be 2Pac's Greatest Hits looping and blasting. 2Pac always makes me feel colossal and ready to run the world.
Q.) Which color of umbrella do you like?
A.) Garnet Red. Its a great contrast color and accessory and will make anyone stand out.
Shay's Goddess Collection will be featured with other Bay Area designers at the 7th Annual Fashion on the Square tomorrow, August 14th in San Francisco. If you're in the area, you won't want to miss it! She's also participating in Veronica Webb's search for a fashion designer who will design her a red carpet worthy gown.
