YOUNG HIP & CHIC PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT WOMEN OF CLASS

Philadelphia, PA- This week on Young Hip & Chic, Tweety Elitou pays homage to the great women of yesterday that made class and beauty what it is today.

On the most recent webisode, the vintage look is in the spotlight. “This show was very special to me,” says Tweety Elitou. “Not only am I a big fan of the vintage style but it was also personal because it made me think of my great-grandmother and the beautiful women of her day.”

The beautiful women that Tweety refers to are Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge, Audrey Hepburn, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and Grace Kelly. “These women were not just awesome talents but they set fashion styles that are classics and can never be forgotten,” states Tweety. “I love the flowers that Billie Holiday placed in her hair, I loved the clothes that Grace Kelly wore, and who is more lady and classy than Lena Horne?!”

YHC ventures to the Curiosity Shoppe in Philly, PA and speaks with stylist, Blu, about what makes vintage styles hot. YHC also visits the Beauty Studio also in Philly, PA and speaks with salon owner Naneke about what hair styles are sure to take you back.

About YHC
Young, Hip & Chic (YHC for short) was developed while Tweety was watching TMZ, Extra, and E! “I was watching these shows because I like to see what people are wearing but I was becoming so tired of seeing Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton without panties! Not to mention, I thought to myself, these are role models?” Tweety passionately expresses.

YHC is to celebrate the art of fashion by educating people between the ages of 12-19 years of age that fashion, in fact, is an art that is expressed from the designer to the people that purchase it. Each week, the show will focus on different styles from antique, to grunge, to whatever trend is evolving and revolving. YHC will also inform people with fashion facts, the history of fashions, and the meaning of words that are heard and not often explained. “I think that to be a fashionista, you have to know the five W’s of fashion—who, what, when, where and why.” Tweety explains.

“The overall experience of YHC is to show that fashion can be fun; to know that clothes do not make you, you make the clothes, and being a diva is so overrated,” she explains. “I think that loving who you are from the inside shows on the outside, and that love of fashion, makes you a true fashionsita!”

YHC can been seen biweekly on Saturday at: www.infinitemag.net, www.youghipchic.blogspot.com and www.youtube.com/infinitemag. Feedback is encouraged as it may appear on the next show.

YHC is also looking for stylists, beauty experts, designers, models, etc. that are looking for exposure and credits for their resumes and books. The show is also looking for sponsors that want to reach a young, hip and chic audience. So far YHC has reached on board The Beauty Studio, Hatchette Book Group, Curiosity Shoppe, and Teenvogue.com.
