LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evolve Media’s theFashionSpot (TFS) (www.thefashionspot.com), the largest fashion-focused community and fashion editorial site on the web, announced today the second portion of its media partnership with The Heart Truth^®, a national campaign for women about heart disease. For the second consecutive year as media partner, theFashionSpot will help spread the word about women’s heart health, as well as launch several initiatives of its own to coincide with The Heart Truth’s existing efforts during February, including the Red Dress Collection^SM 2013 Fashion Show.

“theFashionSpot is grateful to have been given another chance to raise awareness of this important cause through creative inspiration, and we look forward to providing our readers with exclusive insider coverage from The Heart Truth’s Red Dress CollectionSM 2013 Fashion Show.”

Earlier in the week, theFashionSpot kicked off the campaign with the hugely successful ‘Show Us Your Red’ custom destination in honor of National Wear Red Day^®. Site visitors were encouraged to upload street style pictures of themselves donning red to show their support for women's heart health. Adding star power to the custom destination, theFashionSpot now includes a unique playlist compilation featuring music picks from celebrities like Crystal Renn (model), Dylan Lauren (owner of Dylan’s Candy Bar), Nastia Liukin (Olympic gold medalist), Eric Daman (costume designer for Gossip Girl and The Carrie Diaries), and Matt Bernson (show designer), made especially for The Heart Truth^® partnership. Hosted by an online music-streaming site, accompanying information on the playlist answers the aptly named theme of the campaign, “My Heart Beats For…” by explaining why each celebrity picked the heart-thumping tunes and what they do to stay heart healthy.

Similar to last year, theFashionSpot will also provide full coverage of The Heart Truth’s Red Dress Collection^SM 2013 Fashion Show that takes place in New York on February 6th. From red carpet arrivals, backstage coverage, interviews with participating celebrities and designers to up-to-the-minute runway steps, theFashionSpot will provide full event coverage for its 11^th annual celebration.

Lastly, two lucky winners and their guests will have the chance to attend the Red Dress Collection^SM 2013 Fashion Show. Readers are encouraged to fill out their information on the sidebar entry form at theFashionSpot homepage and http://www.thefashionspot.com/show-us-your-red.
