Nicole Marie Fashion Boutique Celebrates Fashion as Artat Nantucket Grand Opening Event
Nantucket-Inspired Swimsuit Designer Lindsay Condron & Cynthia Steffe take the Spotlight at Grand Opening Event to Benefit The Artists Association of Nantucket
Nantucket, Mass – June 20, 2008 – Fashion and art will take center stage at the grand opening celebration of Nicole Marie Fashion Boutique at 9B South Beach Street on Nantucket on Saturday, June 28th, 2008, from 5 to 9 p.m. It’s been said that fashion and art are like two grand dames at a party, and at this party that will be more than true.
Nicole Marie Fashion, with boutiques in Concord, Newburyport, and now Nantucket, features exclusive contemporary designer styles and denims from Europe and America in a European-boutique atmosphere unique in Massachusetts and among the first in the United States to carry big designer names as well as Ted Baker, Missoni Sport, and See by Chloe. Nicole Marie’s personalized service creates a shopping experience like no other in Nantucket. Experienced and elegantly dressed fashion consultants welcome customers to the uncluttered space with a glass of Champagne or a cup of Italian coffee while the latest fashion shows play on plasma-screen televisions.
The grand opening event will feature two artistically talented fashion designers. Nantucket-inspired swimsuit designer Lindsay Condron will share her memories of how summers on Nantucket let to her muse. “My entire inspiration for this line originates from my days spent on the island and delving into its traditional East Coast preppy style. When designing these particular swimsuits, I envisioned this collection would become a staple in every Nantucket woman’s beachside wardrobe. I am thrilled to be bringing this dream alive with Marissa and her new, stylish Nicole Marie boutique on Nantucket.” An exclusive trunk show featuring Cynthia Steffe’s designs will preview the artistic genius of the coming fall collection. To round out the evening, 10% of the proceeds from that evening’s sales – and all sales through the end of June – will benefit The Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN). AAN President Bruce J. Beni says, “We’re excited to be a part of the Grand Opening of Nicole Marie Boutique. We are proud to have the support of local businesses that recognize the importance of the visual arts and creative spirit on Nantucket.”
Leading fashion consultant and fashion designer Marissa Fondots, who owns Nicole Marie Fashion Boutique, says that the theme for this event is a perfect fit in both form and function. “Fashion design is a very unique and personalized art form and we are excited to put the spotlight on some of the talents that will be a part of this new boutique on Nantucket,” says Marissa. “What better way to demonstrate fashion as an art form than to host an event that benefits Nantucket’s most influential arts association.”
Guests will also have the opportunity to sip complimentary champagne and signature cocktails by Triple 8 Vodka of Nantucket while they have a first look at Nicole Marie’s exclusive inventory that includes See by Chloe, Cynthia Steffe, Lindsay Condron, Lacoste and WALTER.

“Marissa and her team are hardworking driven entrepreneurs with a superb work ethic and a vision for retail. I have chosen Nicole Marie Fashion as my exclusive retailer in Newburyport, Concord and Nantucket. With Nicole Marie Fashion’s fresh representation of the newest contemporary styles, I am confident that the WALTER girl will find herself completely in her fashion element. I am truly humbled to be involved with this project, and am excited to be a part of Nantucket’s exclusive community,” says Walter Baker, Creative Director & CEO of WALTER.
