Macy's and Dormify®, the dorm furnishings online retailer, today announce an exclusive collection for the 2015 back-to-school season.

"Based on a 'style it your way' philosophy, these exclusive Dormify products allow customers to mix and match bedding pieces to achieve a personalized look. With four distinct styles, Dormify will offer something for everyone headed back to school this season." To create this collection, Dormify's team of young designers turned to the company's college-aged brand ambassadors, the "Dormify Style Advisors," for inspiration. The result is an assortment that is sophisticated, yet fun and fresh. The comforter designs reflect fashion trends drawn from campus street-style and the pillows feature whimsical icons and witty sayings such as "Donut Wake Me Up" and "Ice Cream When My Alarm Goes Off." Each comforter and decorative pillow is fully reversible, showcasing a coordinating look on the reverse side – perfect for roommates who want to create a complementary look for their room. The collection features 100-percent cotton, machine washable, easy-to-care-for bedding. Keeping consistent with Dormify's mission, the line is a fresh departure from the common bed-in-a-bag, as the entire collection is designed and sold as a mix-and-match system, giving Millennial shoppers the tools to effortlessly combine and create a unique and stylish statement. The collection will be promoted through a variety of channels, including social media with the aggregated hashtag, #mydormifystyle. This social initiative encourages real girls to share their real rooms and how they have used the collection to style in their own way. The packaging for the Dormify collection at Macy's will also feature authentic bedroom photos of select Dormify Style Advisors. Dormify was founded by the mother-daughter team, Karen Zuckerman and Amanda Zuckerman, in 2011. While shopping for Amanda's freshman year dorm room, the duo struggled to find chic, sophisticated dorm décor to achieve a unique and personalized look. Together they created Dormify, which has quickly grown into an online store, content community and lifestyle brand, with the support of fashion-minded college students as ambassadors. "We are thrilled to be working with Macy's to introduce the Dormify brand to brick and mortar for the first time," said Amanda Zuckerman, co-founder, Dormify.com. "Currently, Dormify products are only available on dormify.com. It is exciting to partner with a retailer that supports our mission to help college students experiment with home décor and focus on personal style." Dormify bedding starts at $30 and the collection is available at select Macy's stores and on macys.com starting this month.
