Torrid and Hayley Hasselhoff teamed up to find high-school-aged fashionistas for Torrid's High School Fashion Advisory Panel. Twelve lucky girls were selected from thousands of entries. The finalists were chosen based on how involved they are within their communities, how connected they are online and how they incorporate fashion into their lives. These winners will have the opportunity to show off their style and savvy by putting together fashion looks and sharing fashion tips and trend info through personal blogs and videos posted on Torrid.com.

"I love the Torrid fashion brand and I am excited to be part of the team. We are giving high school girls a chance to shine and show their personal style. It is an honor to be selected as a fashion mentor to this group of girls," says Hayley Hasselhoff, fashion model, recording artist and community activist.
