From Rags to Bags

If you’re interested in fashion, or how someone makes it in the fashion industry, check out Belisi Fashions. If you’re at work, you may want to turn down the volume before clicking the link — the site has music.

Peter Belisi’s story is interesting. He started off as a bartender in Palm Beach and got noticed by collecting and wearing unique and trendsetting ties. He began designing for celebrities, and here’s the interesting part, also contributes to socially conscious causes with every purchase.

Some of the handbags are pretty attractive; they’re not the bizarre fare that you sometimes see from big-time designers.

I could see how this site might be a good research tool if you’re looking to outfit a character who’s chic or fashionable. I know I’d need some research help in that department.
