BELLEVILLE, NJ – September 2010 – In an effort to raise awareness and aid for Epilepsy, Stay Media and D&D Boutique present an exquisite trunk show in one of the hottest boutiques to open in Belleville, NJ, D&D Boutique on Friday, September 24, 2010 from 6:00PM – 10:00PM. The trunk show, which is a benefit for the Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey, will feature the collections of well-known indie fashion designers such as, Lexx Perry, Jypsea Eclectic Leather Goods, and Stay by Stacey Angela.
This event will prove to be a major mile marker in the indie fashion community and the New Jersey fashion community, respectively. Indie fashion designers Lexx Perry, Jypsea Eclectic Leather Goods, and Stay by Stacey Angela have been seen on A-List celebrities and tastemakers and in the top boutiques around the world. “Historically the fashion and arts community in New Jersey has been underrated. I would love to a part of the process that changes that viewpoint,” said Meca McKinney, Founder of Jypsea.com. The four designers will present their new collections and donate a proceed of each of their sales to the Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey.
With approximately 2.7 million Americans diagnosed with Epilepsy, statistics show that one in one hundred people will develop Epilepsy. Determined to raise awareness and funds to assist in the research of a condition that has affected her family, Stacey Angela continues to produce fashion events benefiting the New Jersey Epilepsy Foundation. One of her crowning moments was raising $10,000 by auctioning a custom made piece for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. On September 24, 2010, four featured designers will join together to unveil their latest designs for a once in a lifetime fashion event to benefit Epilepsy awareness. Stacey Angela asked, “What better way to give back to an awesome cause than by shopping for the hottest pieces, the hottest accessories in such a beautiful atmosphere?”
There is no admission fee for the event, but a donation of $15 is requested and appreciated. A percentage of all purchases made at the event will go to the Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey. The event also features a raffle benefitting the Epilepsy Foundation.
Fashion for Epilepsy is sponsored in part by D & D Boutique, Stay Media, Her Journey Magazine, Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics, LiBella Pinot Grigio, Lucille Rich PR, and RestorebyDesign.org.

About Stay Media
Stay Media was created to market and promote fashion events that spread awareness of the illness of epilepsy. Fashion for Epilepsy was started in 2004 in Miami, FL’s South Beach by its co-founders, fashion designer and stylist Stacey Angela and makeup artist Cataanda J, who both wanted to find a way to use their talents in fashion and beauty to spread awareness about Epilepsy and Seizure disorders. Since Stacey Angela’s encounter with two sufferers of Epilepsy, she has had the urgency to use her gifts to spread awareness.
