"Hollywood Fashion Secrets is a company founded by women for women and for more than a decade this team has been dedicated to product innovation to help women solve common, annoying beauty and fashion challenges. They have created a collection of useful, everyday products expert short-cuts that empower women to style themselves with ease, which allows them to feel more confident and certain. I am thrilled about this new partnership with the Hollywood Fashion Secrets brand and team.

My main aim with this collaboration is relating rather than coaching and to serve as a Style Ambassadress who understands and delivers the industry's best-kept secrets and some innovative new ones to help women get ready every day with sureness, positivity and confidence."

HFS was founded on a similar share-the-secret idea more than a decade ago when a gaping cardigan was closed with double-sided tape by an industry insider and friend of the founders. This "aha moment" has now led to an array of Style Essential products a collection of 30-plus items featuring such must-have products like the Hip Hugger "back-belt" to close the common back-of-jeans gap; Boot Straps for a smooth look when wearing the tuck-in trend; Silicone CoverUp nipple covers important to "deperkify" when going braless or wearing an unpadded bra; Bra Converting Clips to instantly convert the traditional bra into a cross-back style, as well as Deodorant Removing Sponge, Sweater Saver and more. The team continues to innovate every day to bring new products forward including the just-launched Eye Makeup and Nail Polish Remover Swabs and purse-ready Perfume Atomizer smart new beauty essentials.

"This collaboration with Stacy London, a trusted advisor and style empathizer to millions, is a game changer for our business and for women everywhere," said Jane Dailey, co-founder and president of HFS. "This alliance will significantly boost our efforts to share our clever style secrets and establish this new, innovative category in the fashion and beauty industry. We are pleased to have Stacy as our Style Ambassadress, and with her help, we expect to rapidly and significantly expand our Style Essentials business to become widely embraced by female consumers as a trusted collection of must-have daily-use items."
