Start Something Fabulous contest search for Special K women

Toronto, March 28, 2011 - Kellogg’s Special K is starting something fabulous by kicking off an exciting national search for three inspirational Canadian women. To celebrate the confidence that comes from looking and feeling good about your shape Special K is looking for women to share a story about a time they felt fabulous. Winners will be recognized nationally with their photo on the Special K box, a print ad campaign and a custom designed dress by distinguished fashion designer Cynthia Rowley.

Special K partners with renowned fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, recipient of the prestigious Perry Ellis Award for Women’s Wear from the Fashion Design Council of America, and a guest judge on America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway and Design Star. Ms. Rowley will design a custom look for each of the three Special K Start Something Fabulous winners and present this one-of-a-kind collection of signature looks at LG Fashion Week Beauty by L’Oréal in October 2011 – the designer’s first show in Canada. The outfits will be inspired and modeled by the women.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Kellogg’s Special K on this amazing initiative that celebrates women – something I do daily through my work as a fashion designer,” said Cynthia Rowley “I’m excited to create this meaningful collection for three special women and present at Canada’s preeminent fashion week.”

The Special K Start Something Fabulous search officially kicks off at Toronto’s LG Fashion Week Beauty by L’Oréal Paris, with nominations being accepted online at Specialk.ca.
