SPOTTED: Heike & Liz Design Appears in Lifetime Holiday Film

Austin, Texas – July 2025

The world of independent filmmaking and emerging fashion collided beautifully on the set of "I Fell In Love With Santa", where a striking turquoise custom dress became both costume and conversation starter.

The romantic comedy, directed by Michael Feifer and starring Hailey Duff, features young designer Heike Brené in a speaking role while showcasing a meticulously crafted dress created by her collaborator, Liz Trow. Together, the duo operates under the fashion label Heike & Liz, bringing their creative partnership to the silver screen.

The custom turquoise piece quickly caught the attention of both cast and crew during filming. Director Michael Feifer praised the dress's visual impact, while star Hailey Duff was equally impressed, requesting a photo with what she affectionately called the "little designer."

Heike, who secured her role through representation by The Boysen Agency, represents a new generation of multi-talented creatives who seamlessly blend fashion design with performance. The collaboration between Heike and Liz Trow demonstrates how emerging designers can create opportunities that extend beyond traditional fashion boundaries.

"I Fell In Love With Santa" is set to release during the 2025 holiday season, giving audiences the chance to see both Heike and the eye-catching turquoise creation that made such an impression on set.

The film adds another title to director Michael Feifer's extensive catalog of holiday and romantic comedies, while providing a platform for showcasing independent fashion design alongside established entertainment talent.
