LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ — Where are the JIC founders, Marsha Bartenetti and Rachael Sudul, when they’re not spreading the word about their product JUST IN CASE — the first chic condom compact for women?
This week they will be on the runway modeling Vera Wang’s new Simply Vera line of clothing for Kohl’s Department store on The Oprah Winfrey Show this Friday September 14th!
The clothing line spans generations … and the two had the times of their lives!
“This was a far cry from the normal day to day business of running Just In Case!” says Bartenetti.
“The clothes were fabulous and I must say it was the best way to see Chicago for the first time!” added Sudul.
So is modeling in their future? “Well if Oprah called again, I’m sure we would, but I think we’ll stick to what we do best … spreading the word about empowering women to take care of themselves … one beautiful JIC condom compact at a time!”
This mother-daughter team is also making waves with their line of condom compacts off the runway and will be featured in the Kenneth Cole gift tote for VIP’s attendees of the amfAR Rocks event in New York September 18th.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ — The title sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is pulling out all the stops on the runway, backstage and online to ensure another spectacular season at Bryant Park.
On the runway, Mercedes-Benz Presents the Tracy Reese Spring 2008 Collection. Starting with her first collection in 1998, Reese has created a signature style comprised of expressive colors, unique prints and intricate patterns that epitomize “feminine chic.” Celebrated clients drawn to her creations include Vanessa Minnilo, Jessica Simpson, Alicia Keys, Eva Longoria, Beyonce and many more, and her Spring 2008 Collection, debuting at the Promenade Tent on Friday, September 7th at 11:00 a.m., will be no exception.
Backstage, Mercedes-Benz has partnered with Architectural Digest and superstar designer of interiors, S. Russell Groves, for this season’s Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge. Groves has created a setting that reflects his signature sophisticated style while incorporating materials elemental to Mercedes-Benz: soft leather, crafted wood and chrome. “With an understanding of not only the fashion consumer, but of the individuals who make it all happen,” says the designer, “we have created a lounge that evokes an appropriate sense of exclusivity and glamour.” The combination of vintage pieces with current accessories, a soothing grey color palette and warm fabric selections create an intimate, inviting atmosphere to escape from the hustle and bustle of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Online, a brand new resource for journalists will debut on September 1 with the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Newsgroup (www.newsgroup.mbusa.com). The Newsgroup houses press information and complimentary, high-resolution photography from all three Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week venues in the United States (including New York, Los Angeles at Smashbox Studios, and Miami/Swim). During the New York Collections the Newsgroup will update twice daily, offering photography from both the runway and celebrity-packed front row shot by the incomparable Dan Lecca. Once the shows have concluded, images from each season will remain available at the Newsgroup’s archive.
And finally, in grand lobby at Bryant Park, Mercedes-Benz pays homage both to the tents’ “Architectural Landmark” theme of the Spring 2008 Collections as well its own 121- year legacy - both past and present - by showcasing a classic 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster and its modern-day counterpart, the spectacular 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. Though half a century stands between these landmark supercars, their commitment to excellence, design, performance and utter exclusivity is the timeless bond they share. As a testament to the value of that which is truly timeless, the 2008 SLR McLaren Roadster retails for $497,750 and its older brother, which retailed for $10,970 in 1957, is valued in excess of $650,000 today.
