Author, speaker, Fashion Icon Archetypes(TM) founder, image consultant and inner beauty empowerment coach Lorelei Shellist brings new meaning to the definition of "supermodel." Having been a graceful and spirited muse for Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, Bob Mackie, Geoffrey Beene and Giorgio Armani, Lorelei received first-hand experience on how to bring art and dreams to life from many of the world's greatest designers.
In her memoir, "Runway Runaway: A Backstage Pass to Fashion, Romance & Rock 'n Roll," Lorelei inspires with her perseverance, determination, survival skills, and wit.
Beyond the runway, Lorelei has appeared internationally in films, TV, commercials, and print, and has gone on the road as a singer/songwriter. She holds degrees from the Masters program in Spiritual Psychology and Consciousness, Health, and Healing from the University of Santa Monica, and is a graduate of Alison Armstrong's "PAX Programs: Peace Between Men and Women." In addition, she is a facilitating counselor with the Freedom to Choose Foundation 501(c)(3), working with inmates at Valley State Prison for Women. Her own non-profit organization, I AM Dreams With Wings, teaches critical life skills to at-risk teens. Lorelei also created the "Shellist Music Scholarship" at Mesa College in San Diego, which provides a full tuition for vocational students of music.
Whether it is hosting or emceeing an event, moderating a panel, leading a seminar or working one on one with a client as an Image Consultant, Fashion Consultant or Inner Beauty Empowerment Coach, it is Lorelei's fashion pedigree, coupled with her charismatic and compassionate personality that make her an invaluable resource. Her compassion and training makes her uniquely qualified to empower her clients to feel and express their innate beauty to help them project the image they want and to receive the attention they deserve.
