BUFORD, Ga. — With the new school year fast approaching, Simon®, a global leader in retail real estate, and Teen Vogue, the number one source of fashion, beauty and pop-culture news for trendsetting teens, are hosting a series of back to school events at more than 80 shopping centers across the country to get young people prepped to head back to class. Mall of Georgia’s “ABC’s of Style[SM]” festivities take place on Saturday, August 16 from 2-6 p.m. in the Village Amphitheatre, helping families have fun while shopping for seasonal must-haves.

Simon’s ABC’s of Style events, presented by Unilever brands St. Ives, Simple and Q-tips in association with Coca-Cola and Fox’s new fall series RED BAND SOCIETY, also launch the shopping centers’ collaboration with Teen Vogue for its “Back-To-School Saturdays” initiative, chock full of offerings throughout the month of August.

“This is an exciting time of year and as Mall of Georgia is the center of fashion in Gwinnett County, teaming up with Teen Vogue elevates our back-to-school shopping season into a true fashion and entertainment experience that helps parents and students alike get set for the upcoming school year,” said Carol Cox, director of mall marketing and business development at Mall of Georgia.

 Mall of Georgia’s ABC’s of Style events will include various elements to give students the social shopping experience they seek. Featured event activities were created by keeping young shoppers’ preferences top-of-mind:

"We are thrilled to once again be collaborating with Simon during the all-important back-to-school shopping season," said Teen Vogue Vice President and Publisher, Jason Wagenheim. "Through this alliance, we're able to bring relevant and authentic fashion content to Simon.com and into consumers' everyday mall experience—starting with Teen Vogue's Back-To-School Saturdays, but with much more to come. Simon's 'ABC's of Style' events are really the perfect complement to our BTSS initiative and we're looking forward to bringing the excitement to many Simon shopping centers nationwide throughout the month of August."

In addition to offering on-site mall events, Simon will launch several digital-focused back-to-school elements that give students and their families the tools to gear up for school and stay connected to Mall of Georgia.
