Mary Jane Denzer Partners Anastasia Cucinella and Debra O'Shea at the Elie Saab Atelier in Paris for the Fall 2017 Collections |
It was an absolute joy
to attend
Paris Fashion Week with my partner
Anastasia Cucinella to buy for our store
Mary Jane Denzer in White Plains, N.Y. Our vendors are excited for us and have been fantastic partners, who are looking forward to growing with us. We truly appreciate their support and friendship.
We look forward to continuing to honor the DNA of
Mary Jane Denzer; a luxury destination for special occasions, but we will also be spreading our wings! We have added several collections that will allow us to completely service all aspects of our clients lifestyle; so in addition to your Red Carpet moments, you will be able to find the perfect, "guest" dress, luncheon outfit, or casual but chic outfit to wear to a committee meeting. We also found fresh and exciting accessories at the tents in Paris and look forward to receiving the fabulous scarves, jewelry and bags we purchased.
I promise to keep you posted on our
trunk show schedule, starting with
Neil Bieff, our in-house designer, who will be at
Mary Jane Denzer with his new collection through Saturday...stay tuned tomorrow for my interview with Neil, an enormous lasting talent, who has beautifully, dressed dozens of Hollywood and Music's biggest stars!!!
