From Bartender to Bigshot Designer

This year I've decided that I will try to look better. I mean in a fashion sense. I've never really been much for fashion, growing up in an era where t-shirts, faded jeans. and an old army jacket kind of jaded me toward mainstream outfits.

However as I get older I am coming to see that your style is your voice. My voice has been, I'll just say a little gruff. Being an Italian, I'm now a bit embarrassed by that, seeing that all the very best in men's fashion seems to be Italian.

I recently visitied a website about Italian designer Peter Belisi of Belisi Fashions.

He is known for going from a bartender to a bigshot, simply by paying attention to his Palm Beach elite customers in Palm Beach.

Peter Belisi served the trendsetters who embodied the luxury lifestyle he craved. As Peter struggled to support his family with no savings, he also struggled to find the novel idea he needed to start his own company. Following a trend he saw in his high-end clientele, Belisi invested any extra money in a tie collection. Before very long, co-workers and clients looked to him for inspiration.

Belisi took pride in never wearing the same tie twice, and through his appreciation of fine ties, his idea took shape. He esteemed accessories as the finishing pieces to any well-heeled look—done the right way. With them you present a polished picture to the world.

Peter found that while the image conscious want to fit in among their peers by wearing high-end accessories, they also want to give back to society. So the Belisi Brand was founded to enhance luxury wardrobes, while making the world a little brighter for everyone. Belisi’s guiding principle was to create Luxury with Meaning. So now every time you purchase a Belisi product, you are putting the finishing touch to your look, while at the same time fighting poverty, protecting the environment, seeking justice and funding medical research.

Put simply, Belisi stands for good living: great style, quality accessories and giving back to the community. About the brand peter says: “Belisi unites the luxury and prestige of Palm Beach with Italian beauty and sophistication. Inside Belisi we cultivate a passion for exquisite materials and skilled craftsmanship. Each dramatic detail, represents our unwavering quest to fashion products of truly enduring value.”

What a great idea for the new year...looking great by accessorising, doing great by "doing good", and feeling great for the effort!
