Television personality and entertainment journalist Giuliana Rancic will return as the celebrity guest host of Ontario Mills’ second Celebrating Women, a fashionista’s dream come true celebrating women and the love of fashion on the eve of Wed., Oct. 17, 2012. As the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in California, Ontario Mills will showcase the season’s hottest fashions from its many fashion forward stores during this high-energy runway event produced by top fashion show producer James Campbell.
Rancic is considered a jack of all trades in the television industry and beyond. She is co-anchor of “E! News” alongside Ryan Seacrest, co-star of E!’s hugely popular “Fashion Police” show and star and executive producer of her reality show on Style Network, “Giuliana and Bill.” She has also served as co-host of numerous red carpet events at award shows in the entertainment industry and was host of the Miss USA 2011 and 2012 beauty pageants. On October 17, 2011, Rancic announced she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and has since undergone surgery to treat the disease. She has become a public advocate for the cause, as well as a long-time supporter of several other charities, including Operation Smile, Dress for Success, Mercy Home for Boys and Girls in Chicago and the Children’s Miracle Network.
“Celebrating Women is the perfect platform for us to showcase our unique brand of shopping as one of California’s most popular shopping destinations with more than 200 fashion forward outlet and value retail stores,” said Masa Liles, area director of marketing at Ontario Mills. “We are thrilled to have Giuliana return as our special guest of this signature event, which only magnifies the excitement of our growing designer collection of fashionable stores.”
Ontario Mills’ Celebrating Runway Event hosted by Rancic will hit the scene in a gigantic way as it did during its successful premiere last year. The dazzling show under the stars, with top professional models strutting the oversized catwalk, will highlight a collection of the best that Ontario Mills has to offer. Designer brands will be sure to turn heads such as Prada, Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Dolce & Gabbana and more found at select stores at Ontario Mills.
As part of this exciting event, a national contest starting late August will provide one lucky winner and a guest the chance to meet Rancic at Ontario Mills’ Celebrating Women. The contest winner selected at random will enjoy ‘star’ treatment with complimentary airfare for two if needed, a two-night hotel stay, VIP seating at the runway event hosted by Rancic, a $1,000 shopping spree at Ontario Mills and a makeover from a top LA stylist.
