Born and raised in Southern California, Sara Andréasson developed a love for fashion at an early age. While attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, she began her career in public relations working at Hugo Boss in Los Angeles. Moving on to John Varvatos, Sara created a national studio services program while dressing A-list celebrities for events, premieres, fashion shows and awards shows. She then became the Director of PR for Stitch’s jeans and Da-Nang. Sara now lives in the Hollywood Hills; in her spare time she enjoys rescuing animals and traveling.

Jill McDermott realized her passion for PR while assisting in the public relations department for the Los Angeles Lakers. After graduating from the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Southern California, she went on to work for the local fashion houses St. John Knits and Guess. Seeing Jill’s enthusiasm in the industry, Paul Marciano reluctantly transferred her to the heart of fashion – New York City. Jill lived in the West Village and quickly moved into the world of “luxury” while overseeing PR at Escada. Jill now resides in Santa Monica and enjoys all of the beauties that the California coast has to offer: bird rides and In-N-Out burgers.
