The Tesla Group

The Tesla Group and our integrated partner, Canopy Brand Group held a start studded event at the Ali & Kris Showroom that we think will go down in history as one of our most entertaining events! Here are the details.

Ali & Kris, the fresh, style-savvy, womens brand launched a new campaign entitled "Reality Runway", a creative fuzion of integrating consumers with a fashion label through a web presence, on May 8, 2013 at their trendy showroom in Midtown Manhattan.

Ali & Kris acquired the expertise of Canopy Brand Group, a NYC based branding agency, to create a
platform in which consumers can engage in a two-way dialogue with their brand. Last night kicked off
their new Reality Runway sweepstakes, a contest in which fans are asked to submit their best Ali &
Kris look. One lucky winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to NYC to become the next Ali &
Kris model and to be featured in their upcoming campaign.

To capture the essence of the Reality Runway campaign, Founder/President of The Tesla Group Ahlilah Longmire created a youthful essence of the brand. Upon entry were displays of fashion styles used in the Reality Runway campaign photo-shoot, along with an Ali & Kris red carpet. The showroom also had four experiential areas to engage guest, including a fashion area where models styled by celebrity stylist Jay Johnson featured looks from the Ali & Kris line, a presentation area with an Ali & Kris video monitor, music provided by Seward Park Tech's DJ Ant, a fashion lounge, and a fun Ali & Kris photo booth where guests such as ESPN correspondent Lindsay McCormick enjoyed taking fun photos throughout the evening.

Ali & Kris owner Jason Hoffman, and Marc Sampogna, Managing Partner for Canopy Brand Group,
presented the new Ali & Kris website in addition to presenting the details of the Ali & Kris Reality
Runway promotion. The Ali & Kris showroom was filled to capacity with guests that included Actor,
