Her dresses define class, confidence and are undeniably influential in our city, making her the perfect partner in creating a new look for the Sixers Dancers. I am excited about this partnership because the story of the Sixers Dancers goes hand in hand with our latest campaign, which is based around the tag line you dont have to wear a suit to feel strong, said Nicole Miller. I think this group of young women really exemplify that motto. They are strong, confident, and driven. Mary Dougherty has once again brought us the best of Philadelphia, said Nicole Miller CEO Bud Konheim. The Sixers Dancers represent class, fun, intelligence, and beauty, and Nicole Miller is proud to be associated with such an incredible organization. There is a tremendous value to local partnerships, and with our strong presence in Philly, the Sixers are a natural fit. The Sixers Dancers will showcase the dress on the court during pregame introductions and the National Anthem, as well as at select off-court appearances throughout the season. The Sixers collaborated locally with Mary Dougherty of Nicole Miller Philadelphia and Nicole Millers corporate team to create the exclusive look. Partnering with Nicole Miller, a world-class designer, allows us to elevate the Sixers Dancers brand in dynamic ways for the 2014-15 season, said Sixers Dancers Head Coach Dayna Hafetz. As we prepare for the start of the season, we could not be more excited to debut this new look for our fans.
