This Fall, Foxcroft officially embarks on 25 years in the women's apparel industry. Since its inception, the brand has called Manhattan's Garment District home and drawn creative inspiration from the energy and excitement of the city. Partnering with P.S. 159 is the brand's way of thanking the New York community for its long-standing success. The school has also enjoyed consistent achievements, including a National Blue Ribbon designation awarded to only 300 schools across the U.S. in 2011.

"We are thrilled to have the women of P.S 159 join us in celebrating our 25^th Anniversary," says Tom Dietrich, President of The Apparel Group, the parent company of Foxcroft. "Our brand's signature non-iron and wrinkle-free blouses clearly speak to the busy, on-the-go woman so wardrobing these teachers was the perfect fit for us."

Alison Gary of blog WardrobeOxygen.com and Sally McGraw of AlreadyPretty.com styled the women with Foxcroft's Silver Anniversary Collection. Available in store and online in September, the special anniversary fashion assortment features Foxcroft's signature floral and animal prints in silver tones.

"I love Foxcroft shirts because they are truly Non-Iron. I can run around with my daughter and still look crisp in the evening. I also love that Foxcroft white shirts are opaque, which offers full coverage which is very important to my readers," says Gary of WardrobeOxygen.com

First grade teacher Tanya Diminic says, "I learned a lot about my personal style today including incorporating more prints and colors in my wardrobe! We are all riding high from the makeover and it was an amazing bonding experience for us."

The Style Stars will be the center of Foxcroft's 25^th Anniversary digital campaign. Outtakes from the photoshoot will be highlighted on the homepage of www.FoxcroftCollection.com when the collection is launched. Additional photos and videos will be showcased on the brand's Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest pages as well as Foxcroft's Off The Cuff blog.

Lastly, to celebrate the industry milestone, Foxcroft hosted a private event at its showroom in Manhattan where industry notables and fashion bloggers sipped on cocktails and noshed on hors d'oeuvres.
