IRVINE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 8, 2008 — Flanked by several family members and friends, celebrity designer and Orange County native Lauren Conrad celebrated her triumphant return home tonight, kicking off the first-ever Style Week Orange County™ at Irvine Spectrum Center with the unveiling of her holiday collection.

Her family, former neighbors and more than 2,500 fans cheered wildly as Conrad’s newest fashions paraded across the outdoor runway.

And to have so many members of my family here supporting me was really special,” Conrad said after the show. “I’m honored to kick off the first-ever Style Week Orange County. Orange County features many stylish and sophisticated people who share my passion for the latest trends and fashions, and Irvine Spectrum Center is an outstanding venue and fashion destination.”
