ELLE Fashion Ad for Neiman Marcus Features Sagamore Hills
Jennifer Koch, Executive Director & Founder of Smiles with Style
Cleveland, OH – If you are scanning the slick mega
pages of the September issue of Elle magazine, you will see the
familiar face of Sagamore Hills’ resident, Jennifer Koch. She is also
the executive director and founder of Smiles with Style, a non-profit
volunteer organization that provides mini-makeovers to children who are
hospitalized. Koch was selected for the Neiman Marcus Faces of Beauty
Fall 2015 Campaign which is launching on September 10 and Elle has a feature spread (after page 480) to showcase the upcoming Beauty Event in their stores and online.
Chosen from over 1,100 entries, Koch is one of the six women who
were selected for making a difference through their individual passion
for causes that are changing the world. Neiman Marcus is recognizing
these women in the upcoming fall campaign that will launch with The
Beauty Event in September illustrating the outward beauty of the women
and detailing each of their individual causes.
In May, Koch traveled to the Neiman Marcus flagship store in Dallas
for a video shoot and photo session with the other women. They were
also interviewed for the video, which will appear online providing
insight on each woman’s philanthropic cause and dedication to making a
difference in her community and nationally.
“It was a profound experience,” said Koch. “I have become friends
with these women in sharing our stories on the causes we care about and
the challenges we face in forging our efforts to help others. The
experience was truly about the inner beauty, vision and soul we all have
for our philanthropic efforts. I was sincerely honored to have Neiman
Marcus convey my story with the world.”
The Smiles with Style organization grew from Koch’s volunteer
experience and her goal to put a smile on the face of every child
suffering from illness. The organization’s services are provided by
volunteers free of charge to hospital patients. (All products are
donated to the children they serve.) The makeovers are small in terms of
physical transformation (tiaras, lip gloss, costume jewelry for a
little girl or a pirate’s outfit for a little boy), but the huge smiles
that appear are tremendous.
“The Faces of Beauty are a stunning representation of
beautiful-from-the-inside-out women who are making some noise in their
worlds about issues that affect all of us,” said Kelly St. John, Vice
President DMM, Beauty for Neiman Marcus.
The Fall 2015 Faces of Beauty featuring Koch will be launched on September 10 during The Beauty Event at Neiman Marcus stores and online at www.NeimanMarcus.com/
