NEW YORK, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Teen Vogue,the number-one source of fashion and beauty news for style-conscious teens and 20-somethings everywhere, announces Simon® (NYSE: SPG) as the exclusive mall marketing partner of Teen Vogue Back-to-School Saturdays (BTSS).

In 2012, Teen Vogue transformed the back-to-school shopping season with its debut of Teen Vogue Back-to-School Saturday, declaring one day in August as a national shopping and retail holiday, and inviting consumers to shop for the best of Back-to-School on that day. The multi-platform initiative garnered participation from more than 40 fashion, retail, and beauty brands, and included events and promotions in 45,000 retail stores and across 50 states. For the third year, BTSS expanded to a month-long celebration, featuring expanded offerings and web-based content throughout the entire month of August.

Now in its fourth year, Teen Vogue has teamed with Simon, a global leader in retail real estate and home to the nation’s favorite shopping destinations, as the exclusive mall marketing partner of Teen Vogue Back-to-School Saturdays. Simon and Teen Vogue will collaborate to bring fashion content to malls at five showcase events around the country, which will include appearances by Teen Vogue editors and style influencers who will facilitate Back-to-School-themed panel discussions and trend talks, all aimed at giving school bound consumers the 4-1-1 on Back-to-School style as they head into the new year.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating once again with Simon and are especially pleased to welcome them this year as the exclusive mall marketing partner of Teen Vogue’s Back-to-School-Saturdays,” says Teen Vogue Publisher and Chief Revenue Officer, Jason Wagenheim. “Through our relationship, we’re able to bring engaging and inspirational fashion content to school-bound millennials.”
