CYPRESS, Calif., Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Maya Toys today unveiled its play-inspired fashions for the 2016 PlayCHIC Fashion Show, an annual event celebrating the designers and inventors behind popular toys and games by translating their creations into fashion pieces. The company's Pom Pom Wow and Orbeez brands serve as the inspiration for two captivating gowns to be showcased within the event.
Maya Toys' marketing team designed the gowns to capture the essence of the respective brands.
The Pom Wow design represents the current popularity of pom-poms. "We decorated the Pom Pom Wow gown with actual product, applying thousands of pom-poms to the clothing, "said Jennifer Strick, director of marketing for Maya Toys. "With pom-poms all the rage within the fashion and crafts industries, we combined a haute couture look with a crafts-like butterfly motif."
The Orbeez ensemble embodies the colorful, bouncy and shimmering nature of the product. "When hydrated for play, Orbeez are shiny and beautiful," added Larry Falcon, Maya Toys' senior vice president sales. "As a result, hundreds of colorful balls grace the Orbeez gown to catch the runway lights and exemplify the product's visual burst of energy."
