RAQUEL WELCH NAMED CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF SIGNATURE LINE BY HAIRUWEAR

The actress will be taking creative control of the Raquel Welch Signature Wig Collection

New York, NY (March 31, 2015) / PR Newswire / — Renowned actress Raquel Welch is taking on a new role as the freshly-appointed Creative Director of the Raquel Welch Signature Collection of wigs from HairUWear. Now the lead for the creative team, Raquel will be providing the creative direction for the entire line, and will be supervising and inspiring the team on projects from conception through completion. Raquel’s debut collection as Creative Director will be the Spring 2015 collection, which will feature three new styles along with two best-selling favorites.

“It is my aim to help women everywhere achieve whatever hair style they desire and to change their look and color on a whim,” says Raquel. “Since I started the Raquel Welch Signature Collection, I’ve witnessed enormous advances in technology that have allowed for countless improvements in the coloring, fibers, construction and wear-ability of our wigs. That means that they are lighter, more natural-looking, and more user-friendly than ever before.”

An icon of both stage and screen, Raquel partnered with HairUWear, the world leader in manufactured hair goods, to help women everywhere enhance their natural beauty with high-quality, stylish hairpieces that look completely natural. Together, they formed a line that offers an exceptional collection of wigs, extensions, and hair additions that are both incredibly comfortable and effortlessly glamorous. Made from the finest synthetic fibers or 100% human hair, each piece combines Raquel’s legendary beauty expertise with exclusive HairUWear technology.

“It’s been such an honor to work with Raquel over the past 15 years,” said Michael Napolitano, Owner & CEO of HairUWear. “She is a true style icon, and I am so inspired by her continued creativity, passion and insight, making the Raquel Welch Signature Collection one of the largest and most sought after wig brands in the world. I look forward to working closely with Raquel in this new role especially as we debut several new collections in the seasons to come.”
