Whoa, back it up! From Hurley’s second edition of Walk the Walk, Hurley’s high school fashion design walk-off, comes this saucy design that urges others to back down. Designed by Virginia Beach’s Lilly West, this is one maxi that does more than just talk the talk. Hurley’s Walk the Walk (WTW) Dress highlights a unique, show-stopping exposed back, costarring this season’s runway Southwestern print and classic girly pointelle cotton. The first to debut in the Hurley collection, this ultra limited edition dress is long on style, but short on supply, so don’t miss out!

Age: 18

Birthday: Feb. 10, 1990

Hometown: Virginia Beach, VA

School: Floyd E. Kellam High School

Interests: Shopping, going to the beach, & designing (of course!) I just graduated from Floyd E. Kellam High School in June 08.  I am in my freshman year at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA.  Go Dukes!

I am very excited for my first year of college.

I love designing and creating clothes.  The first thing I ever designed and made was a skirt for my mom when I was eight.  It was made out of her old scarves and some elastic waistband I found.  It was not the prettiest thing, but my mom still has it.

How She Pulled the Look Off: When Mrs. Miller (my fashion teacher) told us about the Hurley Design Challenge, I knew I had to do it.  This was a great task to take on since I was also a model in the show.  Somehow between the practices for the show, working, school work, and designing, I pulled it all together.

About Her Dress Debut: Seeing my dress and my other creations on the runway was awesome.  And when I saw other people’s reactions to the dress, it made it something I’ll never forget.  I ended up not winning the challenge, which was fine with me because I had been given this great opportunity.

Her Reaction to Hurley Wanting Her Dress: About a week after the show, I found out Hurley wanted my dress anyway.  I cannot even describe how happy I was.  It was awesome.  It really meant a lot that Hurley saw potential in a dress that I whipped together, no pattern, and with only one fitting.

Congrats Lilly, and thanks for the great design!
