    –
    Lee Anderson Couture has moved to the sunny side of the street to 975 Lexington Avenue, helping restore this lovely block back to pre-covid times.

Lee Anderson Couture is where Italian and French fabrics  meet personal styling, and are created under the supervision of a professional design team, led by the veteran designer, Lee Anderson.

    ELLESMERE PORT, England, April 19, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Global, sport-inspired fashion brand U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), is opening its first store this April in the United Kingdom, in partnership with its United Kingdom Licensee, Brand Machine Group (BMG). Additional store openings are planned in the United Kingdom for later this year and beyond.

    Situated in the McArthurGlen Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, the new store will house the latest men’s and women’s wear collections from the global, sport-inspired brand. Fashion-savvy people of the North-West now can experience one of the world’s most celebrated lifestyle brands. Shoppers will also experience the elevated store design concept, set over 2,000 sq. ft., complete with aspirational imagery, the brand’s signature stripe detailing, tech-driven touchless pay, and LED screens for streaming photoshoots and some of the world’s most exciting polo games. New product deliveries will be arriving at the store weekly, keeping the options fresh for consumers.

    The opening celebration includes product giveaways, polo players and influencers, with special guest appearances, including that of commentator and host of CBS Sports and The World of Polo, Karl Ude-Martinez, and much more will mark Opening Day on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.

    Collections from U.S. Polo Assn. represent the heritage of the brand but are told in the most contemporary way. Sport-inspired products range from preppy to collegiate; casual chic mixed with durable, everyday apparel and accessories. U.S. Polo Assn. is worn by players and followers of one of the most exciting and prestigious sports in the world. Today, U.S. Polo Assn. is an instantly recognizable lifestyle brand with a multi-billion-dollar global footprint operating across 194 countries. The brand has successfully fused past and present for lovers of classic, timeless, and wearable style.

    The iconic U.S. Polo Assn. brand is being brought to Cheshire Oaks by the brand’s licensing partner, BMG, the United Kingdom-based, global licensing organization, which partners with some of the biggest and most well-known fashion brands in the world. 

    “After several years in partnership with U.S. Polo Assn. to market and sell the brand in the U.K., we are proud to open our first store, this being the first of many U.S. Polo Assn. stores we plan to open throughout the U.K. in the coming years,” explains Tom Duncan, Brand Director, BMG. “The Cheshire Oaks store will offer high-quality service and product, at great prices in the best store environment that U.S. Polo Assn. has to offer.”

    Luxury Fashion Retailer elysewalker Launches E-Commerce Site

    Jan 18, 2022


    LOS ANGELES, January 18, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Since opening the first brick-and-mortar location in 1999, elysewalker has become one of the most sought-after purveyors of premium curated apparel, jewelry and accessories — with a focus on head-to-toe styling, guided discovery and true personalization.  With the launch of the new e-commerce platform, the company will expand on its loyal following and welcome a broader national audience to the unique elysewalker experience.

    “As I looked at what was out there in the luxury online world, I had an overwhelming sense of product overload and ‘personalization’ technologies that feel anything but. The elysewalker customer appreciates a more simplified and intimate approach, which has made us such a destination over the last 22+ years,” explains founder, owner and CEO Elyse Walker.

    Since its inception, the complimentary styling program at elysewalker has delivered personalized, elevated, fashion-forward looks directly to the client, building deep and loyal client relationships as a result. 

    To bring its successful personal styling services to life in the digital arena, elysewalker has developed exclusive technology that enables clients to connect online with one of its elysewalker stylists. Once connected, the client receives custom-created, shoppable digital look books based on their preferences and previous purchases. 

    elysewalker commissioned Hugo & Marie, a New York-based independent artist management firm and agency, for the creative design and development of the site — taking the personal, in-store elysewalker experience and translating that for an online audience. In keeping with the brand’s mission of championing young female talent, elysewalker selected New York-based photographer Sophie Elgort to capture the editorial launch campaign. Shot in downtown Los Angeles amongst iconic landmarks and buildings, the concept of the campaign was to capture the energy of the city while elevating the everyday experience, featuring human connections, natural interactions, and genuine moments. 

    With a conversational tone of voice and bold color palette, the new elysewalker.com evokes a distinct and differentiated point of view. Woven throughout the site are personal “Love Notes” from the stylists to convey a unique experience that mimics the energy of shopping in an elysewalker store. The platform will initially focus on the U.S., with plans to expand strategically to key international markets in the future.

    The carefully curated catalogue of designers speaks to the strong relationships that elysewalker has forged since its inception. This is echoed in the design and voice of the site, creating a platform for new and emerging talent while still championing their signature, heritage pillar brands. At a time when best-in-class brands aspire to transcend product to be a trusted resource, create signature experiences and build a community — elysewalker continues to reinforce these elements as the foundation of the brand, and as the key to its success. 

    About elysewalker:

    Founded in 1999, elysewalker is one of the most sought-after purveyors of premium curated apparel, jewelry and accessories. Since 1999, the company has grown its footprint to include four brick-and-mortar elysewalker stores in Pacific Palisades, Newport Beach, Calabasas and Saint Helena, California, as well as three towne by elysewalker stores in Pacific Palisades, Newport Beach, and Bel Air, California, and now a new ecommerce site. From heritage to new and emerging brands, the company specializes in personal styling and unparalleled service. For more information, visit www.elysewalker.com.

    LOS ANGELES, August 18, 2021 (Newswire.com)
    –
     Ever since a young age,  Michelle dreamt of one day wearing her grandmother’s wedding dress, also worn by her mother. Thus, when Michelle got engaged to Jeremiah, she had a clear vision to wear the most beautiful, classic, and sophisticated wedding dress worn by the most beautiful women in her life, and so she did.  

    She immediately met with her grandmother, who had taken extreme care of its intricate lace and had it restored over the years secretly hoping one of her granddaughters would want to wear it years later. Michelle shares, “I slipped on the delicate dress and buttoned it up. It fit like a glove. It was perfect—almost meant to be! My grandmother, mother, twin sister, and I stood there in awe and took in an emotional moment together.” 

    Her Grandmother, Queenie, also endearingly known as “Grammy,” reminisced of her experience picking out that beautiful dress 68 years earlier for her own marriage to Harold. It was the summer of 1952 and she had first seen it on the cover of Modern Bride Magazine’s summer issue. She knew she simply had to have it. There was only one problem: she had been given a budget of $100 and the dress was $150. She smiled remembering how her sweet mother-in-law generously and happily offered to pay the remaining balance. And so the rest was history. When asked how she felt seeing Michelle in her wedding dress Grammy endearingly responded, “I was honored. It fit her so perfectly. She didn’t have to move one button. When I saw her, I had flashbacks to when I got married almost 70 years ago.”

    Being able to wear her grandmother’s and mother’s wedding dress was a dream not only because it is a gorgeous vintage gown, but because of what it represented: the culmination of over 100 years of commitment and Christ-centered love. Michelle shares, “It represents following in the footsteps of two of the most beautiful and Godly women I know and confidently stepping into a commitment of my own, knowing with certainty that they had paved the way for me. It represented the pride I feel to know them and to love them.” 

    Michelle and Jeremiah wed on Oct. 10, 2020. Michelle looked exquisite in the gown. “Planning a wedding in the midst of a global pandemic is challenging,” shares Christine, with Simple Little Details. “All 2020 weddings had to be reimagined to follow strict Covid-protocols. Michelle and Jay’s wedding highlights what truly matters: enduring love through life’s challenges. It was our honor to be a part of this extraordinary day. Coordinating the three-generation photo will always be a highlight as this was an extremely special and emotional moment, profoundly reminding us all that love is all we need.” Maybe, just maybe, the dress will be worn again by a daughter or granddaughter one day.

    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 27, 2021 (Newswire.com)
    –
     U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand for the United States Polo Association (USPA), welcomes American polo player Matt Coppola as the multi-billion-dollar, sport-inspired brand’s newest global ambassador. Now 26, Coppola has been playing professionally since he was 14 years old and played in the semi-finals of the 2011 U.S. Open Polo Championship at the age of 16. Today, he is one of the highest handicapped American players.

    The scope of Coppola’s year-long role as global brand ambassador is broad and designed to shine the spotlight on the dynamic crop of young and talented polo players coming up through the ranks. Coppola will be outfitted in U.S. Polo Assn. apparel and gear both on and off the field, will post regularly about his polo-related and other daily activities on social media, and will engage in media requests for interviews and campaigns.

    “U.S. Polo Assn. is proud to welcome professional polo player Matt Coppola to our outstanding roster of global brand ambassadors for 2021,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing, which manages the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “Coppola is an exceptional polo player who has come up the ranks quickly in the U.S. He is an excellent representation of what our brand is all about – sport-inspired, youthful, vibrant and fun.”

    Born and raised in Wellington, Florida, by show jumper Jesse Coppola and professional polo player Tony Coppola, he developed a love for horses at a very young age. Today, Coppola travels the United States and Argentina to play professional polo throughout the year and works with his father to help give racehorses a second career in polo. Coppola is also a graduating member of Team USPA, a prominent program developed and managed by the USPA to develop young American polo players for the highest levels of competition.

    “I could not be more excited to represent U.S. Polo Assn., with whom I have worked over the years through the brand’s sponsorship of the GAUNTLET OF POLO,” said Coppola. “As a professional polo player, it’s meaningful for me to represent a brand that’s authentically connected to polo and gives back to the sport and its players.”

    Coppola has competed in the 2019, 2020 and 2021 GAUNTLET OF POLO® competitions in Wellington and has triumphed in many of these prestigious tournaments. With a shooting accuracy of more than 70 percent, Coppola, who played for Las Monjitas, ranked second out of all the players in the 2019 GAUNTLET and first for shooting accuracy in the U.S. Open Polo Championship. In 2021, he played in the GAUNTLET with Park Place, alongside Andre Borodin, Hilario Ulloa and Juan Britos, winning the prestigious C.V. Whitney Cup and making the finals of the U.S. Open Polo Championship.

    updated: Jun 10, 2021


    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 10, 2021 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Big weddings are finally back thanks to an ease in restrictions, with half (51%) of couples getting married this year inviting 100 or more guests, and one in five (22%) inviting 150 or more, research by INDOCHINO reveals. And as 41% of this year’s weddings are rescheduled dates from 2020, guests are set to be invited to more celebrations than ever before.

    The survey of 1,549 people getting married who recently ordered custom suits for their wedding uncovered what guests should expect when they RSVP*. Despite recent CDC guidelines, guests should look for matching masks for their outfits, with four in ten (39%) couples requiring face coverings for at least a part of the celebrations. More than a third (36%) will require guests to be vaccinated and one in five (20%) will request a Covid test prior to the event.

    Long distance friends and family may expect to receive wedding invites, with 45% allowing guests from out of state, if they are vaccinated. Another 45% are allowing out of state guests with no restrictions.

    Weddings themselves are likely to take place in the fresh air, as 40% of couples say they are moving their event outdoors in light of the pandemic. 40% are modifying the seating arrangements and 28% are removing the buffet. Guests need not worry however, as many traditional wedding elements remain. 96% are planning a group photo, 89% are tossing the bouquet and 86% are keeping the dance floor.

    “After an extraordinary year of staying home, keeping our bubbles small and missing out on life events, it’s a huge relief to see that big celebrations such as weddings are making a comeback,” said Drew Green, President and CEO of INDOCHINO. “And although events might look a little different this year as couples take important safety precautions, I personally can’t wait to bust some dad moves on the dance floor!”

    Of the 41% forced to postpone their wedding due to Covid, 87% found reorganizing their big day stressful. That may not be surprising given that 78% had to make compromises along the way. 71% reduced the guest list and almost half (47%) altered their budget to accommodate the disruption. Perhaps adding to—or a result of—the stress, a staggering 81% of those polled have changed weight since the start of the pandemic. 45% gained weight and 36% lost weight.

    Despite all this, 60% of couples agree that despite the stress caused, reorganizing brought them closer together. Just 4% regret postponing their wedding, and 30% are now more excited than ever about their big day.

    The wedding boom is already being felt in the formalwear industry, which saw steep declines when the pandemic struck in March 2020. As vaccines started to roll out from March 2021 onwards, INDOCHINO’s wedding business has surged far beyond any previous levels, with wedding appointments in its showrooms increasing by 60% compared to 2019. And the custom apparel brand doesn’t see any signs of business slowing, noticing a trend for fall weddings across North America as couples compete for venue availability.

    “This year’s weddings will be extra special as everyone has a sort of renewed appreciation for life,” Green continued. “Whether you’re the groom or a guest, it’s a warm summer or cool fall wedding, or you either want a fashion forward or a classic look… thanks to our extensive fabric assortment and made-to-measure approach, we’re here to help everyone look and feel extra special in great fitting, personalized clothing.”
