Let’s Redefine Prom Queen

 

There is so much to think about before prom night. Top priorities include finding a date, picking a colour for a corsage and searching for something to wear. Let me tell you, the biggest task is finding the perfect dress—after that, everything else falls into place.

Since February, Laura Canada prom dresses have been charming future graduates with their modern flair and sophisticated sparkle. That said, I know what you’re going to ask, “what’s so special about your Laura and Melanie Lyne prom dress collections?” That’s a good question because this isn’t the first time the brand offered dresses for the occasion. How is this collection different? Its uniqueness is in who we envision dressing for prom.

At the end of December, Laura Canada started the search for a team of aspiring prom royalty. We were on the lookout for dynamic girls who would attend prom at the end of the year. The girls had to represent the beauty of diversity and challenge the prom queen stereotype. After a casting call in Toronto, we found our prom queens Dae, Matilda, Rebecca, Kathleen and Monica. We loved getting to know them while highlighting their authenticity and personalities in our campaign.

After a flurry of dress fitting sessions and photoshoots, the prom campaign debuted on social media and in the 40 Canadian stores.

Now, prom season is quickly approaching and I’m sure you know a prom queen in your entourage! It’s the best time to let them know that it isn’t too late to find the perfect dress.
