Women In Business Nominee - Luann Petix, Editor-in-Chief / Founder
DAMSEL Magazine, Newport Beach www.damselmag.com
From the time she was a young girl, Petix was creating her own magazines, cutting and pasting images and compiling them into binders. Now, she has accomplished the feat of founding OC's first monthly fashion publication, DAMSEL Magazine, which was launched September 2007. This position provides her with a daily outlet for building visual campaigns, forecasting trends and reaching a demographic of thirsty fashionistas who need their magazine fix on a regular basis. DAMSEL has made its way to the top of the ranks with fashion labels, PR firms and the beauty world at large, making it the must see, must-be-in publication. Since launching the magazine, Petix continues to increase its caliber, bringing in international talents, acclaimed television/movie stars and globally-recognized supermodels; she has even taken the cyber world by storm with a cutting-edge website. The foundation Petix envisioned and constructed for DAMSEL has not only been realized - it has gained a loyal readership base and limitless potential.
