New Online Destination Launched by Belisi Fashions

Belisi Fashions Launches New Online Destination

Innovative, Luxurious, Online Shopping, Fashion Advice ... Lifestyle

PALM BEACH, Fla., May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Fashion, it's not just a New
York game anymore. South Florida has become a top contender of those "in
the know." Palm Beach-based Belisi Fashions (http://www.belisi.com), a
driving force behind this new fashion movement, combines luxury, innovative
style and distinctive creations, setting it a part from the rest of the
fashion industry. Fashion-forward designer Peter Belisi of Belisi Fashions
is unveiling his new and improved online destination http://www.Belisi.com,
which is more than a shopping website-it's a community where discriminating
consumers can find valuable fashion advice, keep up with trends and so much
more.
Belisi Fashions is synonymous with luxury, a brand that represents a
growing collection of fine Italian silk ties, pocket squares, and scarves.
Peter Belisi inspires and surprises with characteristic versatility and
responsiveness to an ever-changing market. The very essence of his
collections reflects his emotional and artistic view of life's experiences;
thereby, creating a personal style inspiring men and women to dress and
accessorize according to their own personality.
Belisi was built on the philosophy that a necktie

or a scarf
(http://www.belisi.com/shopping/catalogView.aspx?SGID=2&CATID=12&showproduc
ts= all) is more than an article of clothing-it completes your look. "There
are plenty of Web sites where you can buy accessories but few where you
feel like you're a part of a fashion community," affirms Belisi.
"A tie is a focal point that makes a bold statement. When we design and
create a tie, pocket square
(http://www.belisi.com/shopping/catalogView.aspx?SGID=4&showproducts=all)
or scarf, we first think about the person who will wear it. We want our
products to enhance customers' lives through quality, using the most au
courant in fabrics and signature detailing," confirms Belisi. "These
accessories add flare to any outfit with an accent of color that creates a
whole new look."
The Belisi brand is flourishing, and anticipates the release of its new
luxury handbag collection in Fall '07. As with all Belisi products, the
handbag collection will feature extraordinary detailing including real gold
hardware, soft treated Italian leather and brushed fabrics, plus many other
exclusive features only available through Belisi.com.

About Belisi Fashions
The Belisi brand is the brainchild of Peter Belisi, whose lifelong
aspirations were to fuse the luxury and prestige of Palm Beach with Italian
sophistication. Belisi embodies the spirit of true entrepreneurship with a
passion for the best of everything, which is evident in the quality
products produced. Each dramatic detail in a Belisi tie, pocket square and
scarf represents Belisi's unwavering commitment to creating fashion
products that embody timeless sophistication and enduring beauty.
Peter Belisi is loyal to his community and remains steadfast in giving
back to those in need, never forgetting his roots and the journey that led
him to where he is today. Through the "Belisi Luxury with Meaning" program,
a minimum of 10 percent of the company's pre-tax profits are donated to
those in need. Thus keeping in-line with Belisi's mission to create a
community within a community, customers decide which charity to make their
contribution. Some of the charities include: Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer
Foundation, American Heart Association, and 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am always happy to post stuff about Peter Belisi and his burgeoning fashion enterprise. The above press release leaves me with precious little to talk about. I might be in an interesting position as far as recognizing the melding of American and European styling in his accessories. I moved from North America to Southern Europe a couple of years ago. There is no Gap in my town. Many of the casual fashion stores are Italian chains. We had a function recently that we had anticipated as having a dress code and I was told that none of my pants were suitable by my wife. I had stocked up with four or five pairs of my favorite jeans before moving and had never up to that point bought pants in Europe. Actually, they call them trousers here, but thanks to the tourist trade they know what I am talking about if I accidentally say pants. They call men's underwear panties. I am never going to get used to that. Anyway, I thought I had chosen a good pair of pants. My wife let me wear them out for the evening but has vetoed them henceforth because the fit is so different that it disturbes her. I don't look like me to her.

Ties and purses look more or less the same on both sides of the Atlantic. Italian styling really is an absolute of sorts. I especially like some of the intricately patterned fabrics that Belisi has chosen for his ties.
