Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell teams up with business partner and bestie Michaela Blaney to launch eLUXE x Amore & Vita, a clothing collection designed exclusively for eLUXE, the "largest global platform to deliver merchandise lines designed by the digital celebrity community."
Amore & Vita is the pair's lifestyle website that showcases creative passions and tips related to fashion, beauty, health and even cooking. With the platform, Shay and Michaela want to inspire girls to "go out there and try as many things that they can" and to do so without hesitation. "We're proving that if we can do it, anyone can do it", says the pair.
Inspired by the duo's personal style, their youthful collection features printed tanks and tees that are displayed in a monochromatic palette. When asked about the range in a recent interview with Trend Hunter, Shay and Michaela discussed Shay's font obsession and explained the inspiration behind their line. "With these shirts, we had 100% of creative control. The collection was everything I wanted it to be, everything would be something I would wear myself", said Shay.
This limited edition clothing collection embodies Shay and Michaela's "creative and passionate outlook" and is revealed just in time for the re-launch of their website. The pair's favorite pieces from the line include their 'I need a pizza that' and 'Unique Clique' tank tops that they wear while working out. The best friends and collaborators describe their target consumer as a "go-getter, who tries everything."
