This fall, American Eagle's back to school “Live Your Life” campaign will feature 15 young people with unique styles and careers, ranging from artists and musicians to a surfer and a professional basketball player, each wearing the brand's jeans in his or her own way.
Sammy Prahalis, 22, a Commack High School and Ohio State University graduate who grew up in Dix Hills, is a guard for the Phoenix Mercury in the Women's National Basketball Association. Though basketball is her focus, Prahalis is enjoying teaming up with American Eagle to spend time with her other love . . . fashion.
