Marilyn’s Distinctive European Fashion recently hosted a Private Press Party Preview on Wednesday, December 11 at its new location at 375 Fifth Avenue South.
Over 60 guests attended this invitation-only event that featured a personal, guided tour of the new space by owner, Marilyn Hellman; a dazzling production from Mark and Karen Danni with Karemar Productions that included Broadway tunes and a delightful skit; delectable appetizers; and a champagne toast. This was the perfect occasion for Marilyn to unveil her newly relocated, but enduringly chic boutique and its incomparable selection of clothing, accessories, handbags, hats, shoes, jewelry, and more.
Distinguished attendees included Naples City Councilman Sam Saad; Phil McCabe; Monica Biondo, Development Director of the David Lawrence Center; Art and Bev Cherry; Patti and Ralph Miesel; Kat Smith, Managing Editor of Naples Illustrated; Teri Evans, Editor in Chief of Naples Illustrated; and many more. The Private Press Party Preview was hosted by owner, Marilyn Hellman, and Dawn Sulmasy; Jennifer and Bud Tash; Gene and Dianne Gardner; and Spring and Robin Haigler.
Marilyn’s Distinctive European Fashion’s new location features an additional 2,000 square feet of floor space - making it three times larger than the previous location – and was designed to provide a chic, fun, and sexy environment that is exciting and always enjoyable to visit. The relocation allowed Hellman to expand the store’s incomparable selection of the very finest handbags, belts, and jewelry, from Spain, Italy, and France, while also adding some customer-requested items, including dresses and sportswear. The boutique also features larger, luxury dressing rooms, for more private fittings and wardrobe consultations; a chic showroom with a relaxing seating area; and a 24-foot runway ideal for fashion shows with guest appearances by European designers!
“This Private Press Party Preview not only allowed me to unveil the new location in grand style, but it also provided the perfect opportunity to thank the friends, family, fellow businesspeople, and media that have supported and encouraged me and my team from the store’s inception,” said Hellman.
Marilyn’s Distinctive European Fashions opened in November 2009. After traveling for her role as a buyer for a specialty boutique in Chicago, owner Marilyn Hellman felt that there was a need for a boutique that sold luxurious, European goods paired with her special, personalized service in Naples. Not long after the store opened, Hellman received a request to offer a seminar about how to put an outfit together. Today she offers dozens of private and group seminars – where she’s always willing to give a tip or two - and fashion shows with select European designers each year. Hellman’s valued relationships with designers, manufacturers, and vendors from Paris, Venice, Rome, Madrid, London, and Milan allow her to offer exclusive pieces including handbags, belts, and jewelry, and also a large assortment of hats, including those by famed designers, Philip Treacy and Steven Jones. Additional niche offerings include a comprehensive collection of Italian and French blouses; exclusive jewelry lines that are handcrafted with inventive techniques using metals, stones, crystals, Venetian glass, and resins; and couture handbags made with exotic skins including python. Her passion for fashion reflects in her store with items that are within reach, yet beyond familiarity.
