Jessica Szohr stated, "The latest trend for spring is shine and Op has it first.  The clothes are so great; especially the amazing bikinis and shorts."

Each fashion forward style has a touch of shine to it and we infused elements of shine into the creative of the campaign."  

The Op celebrities are wearing the shine-inspired spring Op collection in the campaign, which is exclusively available at Walmart in the United States and online to www.walmart.com.  In addition, the celebrities will host an Op party in Los Angeles in late April and make personal appearances on behalf of the brand.
