For Immediate Release:
New York, NY, October 24, 2005 — If you’re a star, where do you shop in peace for original clothes, gifts and accessories for your kids? Busy stars in New York City like Catharine Zeta-Jones, Ally Sheedy, Felicity Huffman, Geena Davis, or Stanley Tucci, go to Karin Alexis, the designer boutique on the Upper West Side. Many stars are really pressed for time and shop online http://www.karinalexis.com for just that special, limited edition Tutu, Marilyn Skirt, Reversible Cowboy Pant or baby gift – to pick up later that day. And some stars phone the store where designer/ owner, Karin Alexis, often answers personally and helps them quickly choose a gift, wrapping, and shipping.
Geena Davis puts it this way, “Dear Karin! Thank you so much for the most adorable dress. You are too kind! Alizeh will look absolutely wonderful in it. Thanks a lot and I'll look forward to stopping-in in NYC. Best regards."
Karin makes it a breeze for all busy parents. Raising her son in New York City with her husband, she knows the enormous efforts and sacrifices that parenting adds to already hectic lives. “All moms and dads are stars,” Karin says, “and we help them shop easily for their kids, without a fuss.” While kids entertain themselves at a special play table, parents browse, undisturbed. Her secret is service.
“I do most of the shopping for my kids’ clothing,” says Stanley Tucci, who comes into Karin Alexis, regularly, with his kids in tow, and requests clothes like a parent pro. “Have you got those flannel-lined pants and that Polartec Jacket, Karin? Great. Do you have two in size 3/4?”
Why does Karin think the stars like her clothes and shopping experience so much? “I think celebrities are drawn to two things, style and discretion. I simply offer parents a kid’s one-of-a-kind look, with everyday comfort and a quiet, friendly-but-discrete environment with excellent service. Celebrities are attracted to those qualities. Most parents are too. And so far, we’re a paparazzi-free zone.”
New York star, Fran Brill, who plays “Zoe” on TV’s long-running “Sesame Street” is very fond of Karin’s baby gifts. In appreciation, Fran left a personal message as “Zoe” on Karin’s answering machine for Karin’s little boy. “Wow, Mommy,” he shouted when he heard the message, “Zoe called me from your store!”
