Fashion and compassion meet at Beachwood Place

On Saturday, November 20, 2010, Beachwood Place ushered in the beginning of the holiday season with their second annual fashion event, Compassion from Fashion.

A stylish anniversary

Walk into Next at Beachwood Place any time of the day, any day of the week, and there is always a frenetic and vibrant energy swirling around the ever-present clusters of customers. These customers are not hurried or frazzled. Instead, they seem to be a part of the vibe and scene of the store itself, a place where service staff, clients and merchandise all co-exist in a separate world, tuned into a higher frequency of freshness and a lower temperature of cool.

Head among stars, feet on the ground

Ali Rahimi is a bona fide designer for the stars. A partial client list of Mon Atelier salon includes Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria-Parker and Amy Adams, among many others. Rahimi has also dressed gentlemen, such as Eric Mabius, Blair Underwood and William H. Macy.

The dog days of summer

In the dog days of summer, what better way to pass the time for fashion conscious canines than with a dog fashion show?

Vintage inspiration

On most Saturday afternoons, Marie Albano DDS can be found at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, dancing to her own distinctive beat. We caught up with her as she was getting ready to ride off in her 2009 laser jet blue Corvette. The vintage textile, clothing and accessory collector, known as “fashion diva” to her friends, was dressed for versatility and style.
