Austin & Ally Star Laura Marano Collaborates with Sherri Hill on New Spring 2016 Line

The "Laura Marano" collection by Sherri Hill is inspired by Laura's personal style and her prom expertise. Laura attended her junior and senior proms, a friend's senior prom, and a prom on the set of Austin & Ally. She also starred in Disney Channel Original Movie Bad Hair Day, in which she plays a high school senior preparing for the prom. She even received a Prom-posal from a fan of the show.

The Spring 2016 dress line will include Sherri Hill's signature style aimed at capturing the fashionable lifestyle of today's contemporary young women. Together, Marano and Hill have created looks that are sure to meet the Sherri Hill mission statement of enhancing the female form with fashion-forward styling and wearability.

Last month, Marano alluded to the collaboration with a collage of selfies, telling Instagram followers that she, "Shot photos for some new @sherrihill dresses today and then I had a mini photoshoot in the bathroom because, you know, why not?"

Another post, this one from mom Ellen Marano shows the teen sitting pretty in a hot pink and black tulle gown from the new line.

Marano also joins a high-profile list of A-list teen Sherri Hill spokes models such as fellow Disney stars Bella Thorne and Ryan Newman, as well as dancing with the stars runner up Sadie Robertson.

"Laura was so much fun to work with!" said lead designer and creative powerhouse Sherri Hill. "With the adorable selfies she snapped on the day of the photo shoot, she really made the dresses come to life. I am so excited to showcase our well-curated collaboration to both the fashion world and aspiring teen girls who look up to Marano as a role model."

Sherri Hill and Laura Marano will also be a part of "TLC's Say Yes to the Prom." Sherri Hill will donate dresses and Laura Marano will host the one-hour show on March 30, 2016, in Miami. 

"I am so excited to work with Sherri Hill," said Marano. "This was all due to my partnership with FIREFLY BRAND MANAGEMENT, who brokered the deal with Sherri Hill for the Laura Marano collection."
