Launching today with four audience makeovers on ABC’s The View, the
“Macy’s & Clinton Kelly MAKE OVER AMERICA” tour will reinvent 225
women across the country with the help of style authority Clinton Kelly
(TLC’s What Not To Wear). Traveling to 15 cities over the spring and fall,
Macy’s and Clinton Kelly will make over 15 women in each market
culminating in a runway show to unveil the makeovers at each local
Macy’s store. Additionally, one lucky winner from anywhere in the U.S.
will be selected for the ultimate Clinton Kelly makeover and shopping
spree at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City.

Women can enter the contest at www.macys.com/makeoveramerica,
where they will be asked to upload a photo or video and answer
questions on why they should be selected for a Clinton Kelly makeover.
Also online, America can vote for the “best makeover” after each event
and can engage Clinton Kelly on other issues of fit and style. The closing
for the entry period varies by market, so interested participants should
check online for details.

“MAKE OVER AMERICA is taking to the masses the formula that works
wonders for so many women on my television show,” says Clinton Kelly.
“It’s not strictly about trends or solely about shape. It is finding current
looks that accentuate someone’s lifestyle and personality and offer a
figure-flattering fit. I can’t wait to get out there and work with all these
women – more than 200 of them – to help transform their personal style!”

A former editor at Mademoiselle and Marie Claire magazines, Kelly made
his debut on TLC’s What Not to Wear in 2003. It was Kelly’s talent for
offering unflinchingly honest style appraisals with humor and compassion
that brought him to the attention of Macy’s. For the past three years, Kelly
has traveled the country offering his unique blend of fashion expertise,
style secrets and self-confidence counseling at events in Macy’s
department stores across the U.S.

More than just a fashion expert, Kelly is a committed advocate of style as a
means of empowerment, reminding women that “knowing you look great
builds confidence, and confidence is a key ingredient in reaching your
goals.”
