“Me” by Jennie Garth brings a seamless fusion of fashion and timeless comfort to QVC

Inspired by Garth’s iconic Beverly Hills, 90210 character Kelly Taylor and her bold “I Choose Me” statement, the collection invites one to put themselves first with signature fashion in an effortless yet chic California vibe. “Me” by Jennie Garth offers relaxed, easy and refined styles in current silhouettes that will inspire confidence and body positivity. Created with the QVC customer, women 50+ in mind, the collection delivers quality, ease and style in every design. With inclusive sizing ranging from XXS to 3X or 0-32 and prices from $49.00 to $129.00, the collection is attainable without compromising on quality or design.

“With her innate sense of style and an authentic connection to the customer, Jennie has created a brand that is a harmonious blend of elegance and relatability,” said Rachel Ungaro, GMM and VP of Fashion Merchandising for QVC. “Through QVC’s Age of Possibility platform, we are championing women 50-plus to live their best and fullest lives and bringing them fresh products and brands that celebrate this vibrant stage in their lives. As an esteemed member of our Q50, Jennie encourages women to connect to a mindset of self-care and self-love. With Jennie’s styling secrets from her years in Hollywood, she will inspire QVC customers to embrace their own personal style.”

“Me” by Jennie Garth will feature thoughtfully curated drops inspired by different locations and cities, and the tones, textures, and feelings they evoke. The first launch collection is inspired by the colors and textures of the California Central Coast. All the denim pieces in the collection, including jeans, jackets, jumpsuits and skirts, are made with a recycled “REPREVE Our Ocean” fabrication, polyester viscose that is specially sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles at high risk of ending up in the ocean. Each denim item in the collection has been made with anywhere from 13-28 recycled plastic bottles.

“All women deserve to feel confident, beautiful, and safe to be themselves, says Jennie Garth. “It was a priority for me to design this line with the QVC customer in mind. “Me” is designed for anyone who embraces the beauty of choice. QVC is the perfect platform for this launch as they aim to make sure all women, especially those over 50 who are often underrepresented, feel both seen and supported. I am proud to launch this collection with QVC as a member of their Q50.”

QVC’s Quintessential 50 (Q50), a part of the Age of Possibility, is comprised of QVC hosts, celebrities, activists, entrepreneurs and more, whose experiences and achievements prove the possibilities that this time of life offers for women. With their fresh input, unique perspective, and modern taste, the Q50 will help guide QVC’s efforts to support women in their Age of Possibility by influencing QVC’s programming and product offerings.

This follows the company’s inaugural TCFD Report in 2021. The latest report, structured around the TCFD and TNFD frameworks, provides a comprehensive overview of USI’s governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets related to climate adaptation and biodiversity conservation.

The conclusion of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in December 2023 marked a significant agreement to drastically reduce emissions. USI reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Agreement’s goals, embedding environmental sustainability into its core operations through its Environment, Health, Safety & Energy Policy. The company actively participates in the CDP and SBT initiatives, setting and promoting ambitious carbon reduction targets. Notably, USI’s facilities in Mainland China, Mexico, and Vietnam are now powered entirely by renewable energy, and all major facilities worldwide have achieved third-party ISO 14064-1 verification for their greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2023, USI demonstrated its commitment to biodiversity conservation by announcing its Biodiversity and No Deforestation Commitment and implementing a biodiversity risk assessment system, aiming for a Net Positive Impact by 2050. Since 2013, USI has invested in afforestation projects to combat desertification in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, gradually restoring local biodiversity. The latest ecological surveys report 47 species in Inner Mongolia and 14 species in Ningxia, indicating stabilizing sand, a balancing ecosystem, and early signs of recovery. By the end of 2023, USI had planted 151,482 trees covering 97.91 hectares, capturing 729.44 metric tonnes of CO2e and conserving approximately 134,332.52 metric tonnes of water annually.

September 29, 2024

Professional women with careers in science, technology, engineering and math make a world of difference in inspiring young girls to show them they can achieve anyything they want to with hard work and believing n themselves.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is proud to help ignite a passion in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for girls of all ages. The STEM Exploration Day took place on Saturday, September 28, 2024 with professional women sharing their experience and advice.

There’s something about a robot that can feed into that interest in science, technology, engineering and math. Touch sensors, buttons and sonar show them how to control different actions and that’s fascinating.

Young girls met with women in various STEM professions including coding, physics, astronomy, robotics and engineering just to name a few. Hands-on activities and demonstrations served as great learning opportunities as visitors received special giveaways.

Programs & Activities – Thank you to all participating groups that provided hands-on activities and helped guide STEM career explorations. They included:

Eli Lilly and Company Visiting Scientist Dr. Carlotta Berry
Dr. Berry is an accomplished electrical engineer specializing in controls and robotics. She advocates for the demystification of STEM through innovative strategies, including robot hip-hop slam poetry. She is a professor and endowed department chair at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. She’s also an author, researcher, mentor, role model, prolific speaker, and a STEM trailblazer. Dr. Berry engaged visitors in hands-on exploration with robots. You can hear more from her here: https://youtu.be/16smIuetR_w

Indiana Visiting Artist Emily Bennett
If your first thought of “sculpture” is a gleaming marble bust from ancient Greece, just wait until you see the work of Terre Haute artist Emily Bennett! She redefines what sculpture can be, weaving colorful fibers onto metal structures to create bold, vibrant pieces. The results are what she calls “imaginary dreamscapes” that you can hang on the wall or set on a shelf. As programming coordinator for the Community School of the Arts at Indiana State University, Bennett relishes helping people uncover their artistic abilities.

Women in Lilly Discovery and Development (WiLDD) with Eli Lilly and Company (families created their own binary bracelets and lava lamps).

80 Acres Farms

Franklin Pest Solutions

Indiana State Police Crime Laboratory (visitors examined various pieces of evidence with forensic experts to learn how they solve crimes).

Society of Women Engineers (girls explored mechanical engineering and learned how to make their own catapults). UIndy Human Identification Center (families received an interesting introduction to forensic anthropology, learned about radiographs and studied casts of bones from various animals to learn about the different ages and stages of life).

City of Indianapolis—Department of Public Works, Engineering (shared a storm drain model to demonstrate how families can protect stormwater).

IU Astronomy Department (families learned how the same elements that make up our bodies are also present in galaxies billions of light years away and examined the patterns of Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen and Neon and made bracelets with the same patterns as these elements).

IU Intelligent Systems Engineering (featured robotics and electronics).

IEEE Women in Engineering (helped visitors explore various sensors).

Sycamore School (more than two dozen activities revolving around mechanics, electricity, sound, optics and air pressure made up the activities).

American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) (provided a bridge building simulation).

The Gurl Code (provided binary bracelets, 3D Pens, Ozobots and MakeyMakey).

DNA Discovery in Corteva Agriscience STEMLab (families were able to extract real DNA from plant cells, discovered where DNA can be found in nature and learned about how scientists discovered the structure of DNA).

STEM Exploration Day is presented Lilly Girls & Young Women In STEM and supported by Indiana Soybean Alliance.
