American Eagle unveils first denim runway 'Rock Your Walk'

To celebrate the launch, the brand unveiled the debut "Rock Your Walk" video at their Times Square store last night, July 30th, featuring runway cameos by fashion influencers including actresses Jamie Chung, Jessica Szohr and Shenae Grimes, style bloggers Bryan Yambao (Bryanboy), Christina Caradona (Trop Rouge) and Natalie Suarez (Natalie Off Duty), TV host and fashion journalist Louise Roe, celebrity stylists Johnny Wujek and Dani Stahl and trendsetters and DJs Hannah Bronfman and Brendan Fallis, among others.

The "Rock Your Walk" initiative is a progression of the brand's ongoing "Live Your Life" campaign that first debuted in Fall 2012 and has since evolved into video format.

In partnership with the music discovery application Shazam, as an added layer to the multimedia experience, the national "Rock Your Walk" commercial spot will feature an exclusive remix of Bruno Mars' hit song "Treasure." The original version of the song will be available for free download when viewers use Shazam during the commercial airing from August 9th through August 25th.

"'Rock Your Walk' is a way for our fans to leave their digital footprint behind and be a part of our on-going 'Live Your Life' campaign. We're constantly inspired by our customers," said Michael Leedy, Chief Marketing Officer, American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. "Our 'Live Your Life' campaign has been a huge success because it resonates with our customers desire to tell their story and express their optimistic, individual style."
