You know you’ve succeeded as a model when a brand names a piece of clothing after you. Julia Shea Hamilton experienced that unique honor after modeling beachwear for The Shore Line, an Austin-based, woman-owned brand that enlisted her to co-design a piece for a recent collection. “This campaign was so special to me not only because I love the pieces in the line and what they stand for, but also because I helped design one of the pieces in the line and they named it after me,” says Hamilton. “It will be called ‘The Shea’ in honor of my middle name. It’s an adorable t-shirt dress in two shades that’s timeless and chic. It was so exciting for me to see that piece come to life and then getting to model it for the campaign.”
