Milly
Founded in 2000 by Michelle Smith and Andrew Oshrin, Milly is a
designer fashion label that offers a collection of sophisticated
and feminine apparel. Smith always had a love for the fashion world
and after studying fashion design in college, she traveled aboard
and worked for such designers as Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton.
After returning to New York, Smith was intent on opening her own
business. She paired herself with friend and mentor, Andrew Oshin,
and together they launched Milly, which has been well-received by
fashion critics and socialites.
Milly is a unique clothing line in that it draws directly from
Smith’s experiences, influenced by a New England background
matched by a European flair. While the Milly collection is designer
fashion, both Smith and Osher wanted to offer an assortment of
high-end luxury apparel that was more affordable than other lines
on the market. And with an avid following, including Jessica Biel
and Jennifer Aniston, Milly has become a lifestyle brand that is
glamorous and empowering to a variety of women.
Not only is Milly apparel sexy and sophisticated, but it is made
using the highest quality fabrics that are sourced from all over
the world. With luxurious fabrics, impeccable detail and eclectic
colors and prints, Milly has an international appeal and is often
seen on the runways, being synonymous with cutting-edge fashion.
Although based in Manhattan, Milly opened their first boutique in
Tokyo, Japan, in 2009, and has since gone on to launch a new
jewelry collection that is heavily anticipated for the 2010
seasons.
