Innovative, Luxurious, Online Shopping, Fashion Advice … Lifestyle

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA– (April 26, 2007) – 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, 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 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 tie or a scarf 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 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.

Hi, Friends.

I want to tell you my story. I hope that by knowing a little about me, you’ll feel a connection to the Belisi community - the reason our company exists. Bartending in Palm Beach, I served the trendsetters who embody the sophisticated lifestyle I craved.

Struggling to support my wife and newborn baby with no savings, I wanted to start a business; to do something I enjoy and provide a better life for my family. Nothing came to mind immediately, but I knew that if I wanted success, I needed to look the part. Emulating my high-end clientele, I invested any extra money in a tie collection. Before long, co-workers and customers praised my eye for stand-out fashion fit for Palm Beach. Their positive feedback finally gave me the idea I was looking for all along: I would sell a line of luxury fashion accessories, inspired by the Palm Beach Lifestyle.

I believe accessories are the start, not the finish of the design-inspired look—with the right accessories, even average garments are transformed into winning style. I want to offer the same quality fashion accessories seen on the Palm Beach elite but at a more approachable price. I am excited about our entrance into luxury handbags, in addition to our tie and scarf collections.

Something else I learned in my bartending days is that wealthy Palm Beachers don’t like to compromise, they want it all -- the best design and the best quality, all while making a difference in the world. Giving is a part of the Palm Beach lifestyle just as much as style. It’s with giving in mind that we’ve created the philosophy “Luxury with Meaning” uniting our customers into a community joined by the love of fabulous fashion and giving back to others.

Every time you purchase a Belisi product, you’re making a difference for someone in need. How? We give a portion of every purchase, no matter how large or small, to the cause of your choice. Just look for our Luxury with Meaning program at Belisi.com. We recognize you have many options in designer fashion, thank you for thinking of us.


Cheers!

Peter Belisi
