This season we are Honoring California fashion designer @pellonedesignercollection@melissapellone as this year’s International Ambassador representing OC Fashion Week® in Athens this May for @athensfashionweekofficial
Since 2018, OC Fashion Week® – The Luxury Market of California - has proudly maintained its international partnership with Athens Fashion Week, serving as California’s fashion bridge within a respected global alliance of media, buyers, and industry leaders.
Each season, this exchange is intentional:
• We feature a distinguished Greek designer on our California runways.
• We appoint and send an International Ambassador to represent OC Fashion Week® abroad.
These are bespoke opportunities.
They are earned positions.
They are extended to professionals who support, elevate, and contribute meaningfully to the platform.
We proudly honor those who honor the show — and in return, we endorse them through international opportunities made possible by our long-standing partnerships.
Recognizing emerging and established talent in this way is one of our greatest privileges. We are delighted to continue expanding this global exchange and celebrating designers who rise with integrity, professionalism, and creative excellence.

A heartfelt thank you to Cyndle Baida, who modeled and represented Pellone Collection with such elegance. She brought the vision to life effortlessly.

This post is for all the single working mother’s in the world. It is the most challenging job in Hollywood and on the planet! Every day we wake up and try to find balance for both ourselves and our children while pursuing our dreams. Social media typically shows our highlight moments which is great but we all have ups and downs, which is normal. We are all struggling with something or someone. My heart is always conscious to try my best to have understanding and empathy for others. I hope my son one day understands how much I love him and how I hope he always pursues his dreams. I feel incredibly blessed to have shared this special moment at the @hollywoodcreativealliance podcasts awards…Winning with @mauricebenard who is a TV legend for our Podcast @themauriceandannashow 🙏🏼🎥🤩💗 Watch the @hollywoodcreativealliance podcast awards & @themauriceandannashow on @knekttv !
