The Countess of Glamour in Look Magazine

Hi, everyone!  On the heels of the New York Times profile on Off Broadway Boutique, our beloved Lynn Dell has been causing a chic commotion across the pond.  The result is a fantastic article in London weekly, Look Magazine, which introduces the Countess of Glamour as “a fabulous Manhattanite” who always lives by the motto – “Dress for yourself. If you are happy, you will make the world happy.” It is so thrilling that she is celebrated in the way that our good friend, Ari Seth Cohen, has been doing for years.

This is the very maxim that we always instill in every single customer that walks through our door, which is why it is no surprise when they leave our shop with a strong sense of self that embraces creativity and style.  We invite you to Off Broadway Boutique to indulge in the very essence that has made Lynn a fashion icon in the eyes of the shrewdly stylish Brits.  After all, you deserve to look and feel as fabulous as our Countess of Glamour does every single day!

Invited Guest: Mitsuko Shimomura

Hello, everyone! Throughout our decades on the Upper West Side, we have helped many a fashionable femme follow their style destiny.  It’s all the more pleasing when we are graced with the presence of an accomplished woman such as Mitsuko Shimomura, who stopped by Off Broadway Boutique last Saturday.

One of the most prolific journalists and authors in the world, she was in town for some R&R and instantly fell in love with our world of glamour and glitz.  To say that our Countess of Glamour was charmed by her visit is an understatement, as she was enthralled to see her time-honored motto of dressing for the theatre of one’s life come to fruition through Ms. Shimomura. 

We at Off Broadway Boutique were honored to host her and look forward to her next visit.

Off Broadway Boutique – A Diva’s Paradise

Hello, everyone!  With the magic of the holidays in the air, it’s no surprise that Off Broadway Boutique was recently blessed with the presence of Susan Graham, one of the top mezzo-soprano singers to ever hit the stage.  After all, we’re sure that this diva wanted to celebrate her latest triumph at the Metropolitan Opera House as Dido in Les Troyens – all the more reasons why we were thrilled to see her step into our store.  Quite a beauty with a gorgeously tall body and a charming personality, Susan was the perfect person to showcase the latest in our lavish fashions and opulent jewelry to.

Having been a loyal and wonderful customer of Off Broadway Boutique‘s for years, Susan has always enjoyed shopping in the front of our store.  Not only does she find bold pieces that are befitting of an opera diva such as herself, she has also come across unique finds that always accentuate her one-of-a-kind style.  It’s a style that is also owed to the gorgeous vintage pieces that she finds in our reruns and consignment department in the back of our shop.  Coupled with her being kind enough to provide our consignment department with her gently-worn clothes, we truly believe that Susan’s effortless chic is a perfect case of style karma blessing this stunningly talented diva.

After getting reacquainted with our staff, Susan slipped into the first of many gorgeous gowns of ours.  To say that they were tailor-made for her is an understatement, as each piece flattered her towering frame while highlighting her diva stature.  In addition, she snagged quite a few pairs of glamorous shoes that were available in size 11 – a size that we’ve often fulfilled in order to cater to the ladies with large feet and lavish taste in footwear.  Needless to say, Off Broadway Boutique is a great source for you to find stylish shoes that are befitting of a diva like Susan Graham.

Eventually, other opera singers from the Metropolitan Opera House recognized her from outside and decided to come inside to say hello.  Although these were colleagues of hers, they were just as awestruck as we were once they laid eyes on her in our amazing gowns.  The energy that permeated the atmosphere made it seem as if we were backstage at an opera show with the top performers thriving in their element.  Needless to say, it was a wonderfully fun experience for all of us!

Being a huge fan of Susan’s, our Countess of Glamour, Lynn Dell, was thrilled that she had stopped by our shop.  After all, it’d be her chance to ask for that 8×10 glossy photo that she’d been requesting over the past 10 years.  Unfortunately, Susan had since upgraded to owning digital photos of herself – a fact that she had found funny while Lynn found it hilarious.  Moments such as these are why Susan Graham is, indeed, a diva and a regular dame wrapped up in one.  It is the ability to electrify the atmosphere with one’s mere presence while being able to relate to everyone that makes one the quintessential Off Broadway Boutique woman – one that we are proud to consider Susan Graham as.
