Evelyn & Arthur Fashion Mixer

Evelyn & Arthur Fashion Mixer

The Women's Chamber of Commerce and Evelyn & Arthur have partnered to bring you a Palm Beach Style Fashion Mixer.

 

In 1984 Evelyn & Arthur Lewis left New York for a decidedly more relaxed pace of life in Palm Beach, Florida, and in turn, created a new source of fashion borne of Evelyn’s desire to have a more appropriate wardrobe. Today, over 30 years after her parents created the company, Adrianne Weissman and her husband Fred, have expanded the company to include nine store locations across Florida, a revamped Evelyn & Arthur concept with more modern, contemporary clothing and the addition of accessories and gifts.

 

Attendees of our Fashion Mixer will enjoy a 10% discount on their entire purchase, and a portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit the Women's Chamber Foundation whose mission is to serve members and women in the community by raising funds to support scholarships for deserving women and girls who aspire to achieve economic success through higher education.
