Guests were able to peruse the couture collection with the designer himself, Julian Chang, plus received styling advice on what’s hot for Fall from hip.e owners and fashion-trendsetters, Daisy Casuso and Mari Alarcon-Grimalt. More than $8,500.00 was sold in just three hours and a portion of the proceeds benefited Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship program.
“It was lovely to have our friends and local socialites in the boutique to do what women do best, shop! Not only did we have a great time meeting new people but it was fun to see our clients fall head-over-heels for what’s new in the store,” said Daisy Casuso and Mari Alarcon-Grimalt. In attendance were Jennifer Getz, co-owner of Samuel Getz Private Jewelers; Jennifer Nicole Lee, fitness expert; Jennifer Valoppi, NBC 6 news anchor; Sandra Deya, model and former Miss Cuba and Silvia Fassardi, jewelry designer and founder of Septimo, just to name a few. “I wanted to show these ladies my best work and I think they would agree that once they tried a dress on, they felt like a whole new woman. My favorite dress was purchased by Sandra Deya, who looked stunning in the plunging neck-line with beaded detail,” says Julian Chang.
