Spotlight: Interview with DLUX Boutique Owner Dorian Grace

 DLUX boutique owner Dorian Grace (middle). Photo by Danielle Hadnott


Meet Dorian Grace, owner of clothing boutique DLUX in Engelwood, NJ. Her previous experience includes working for the likes of Sean John and House of Dereon, in addition to starting out as a buying trainee at Saks Fifth Avenue. We got the chance to catch up with Dorian, who is a fashionista herself, to ask a few questions and get advice.

Check out our interview with Dorian to learn about her fabulous store DLUX, what you can expect while shopping there, her key to success in the fashion industry and also why the self-proclaimed "professional shopper" admires the store H&M and Rihanna's fearless style. 

------------------

Get WHIT It: Dorian, how did your past experience get you to the point you are at now, owning your own boutique?

Dorian Grace: I have worked in several facets of the Fashion Industry from an Associate Buyer at Saks Fifth Ave, to Sales Manager positions at companies like Sean John, House of Dereon by Beyonce, and Eve’s Fetish. All of these experiences have allowed me to learn everything from analytical retail skills and planning, creative marketing and budgeting, in addition to what it would feel like to run my own business. These jobs were all stepping stones to get me to the point I am at today in owning my own boutique.

GWI: How did you come up with the name DLUX and what makes a good shopping experience?

DG: My first thought was that I wanted to create a re defined shopping experience for customers but I also wanted it to “feel” like a luxury. Traditionally, luxury has been defined by high end product known for it’s well made qualities, designer name and high price points. However, I feel like luxury can be and should be experienced at all levels; from how you are serviced, greeted, and styled through your experience when you walk in the door and not just because you spent a million dollars should you only receive or experience luxury…hence the name DLUX “reDefining LUXury”

GWI: Describe the customer who shops at DLUX.

DG: The DLUX customer is a span from the cool mom to her fashionista daughter. A female who understands fashion but is also privy to the latest trends and styles that celebs are wearing. I have the pressure of keeping up with the what’s hot and avoiding what’s not while also being ahead of the trends. Owning a store you have to put some personal fashion likes and dislikes aside inorder to cater to the demographics of the area/audience.

GWI: What are some of the brands you carry in your store and how do you select the items to be sold?

DG: I have over 30 brands, but some of the DLUX favorites are Wildfox tees, Torn by Ronny Kobo Collection, House of Harlow Jewelry by Nicole Richie , Parker Silks, Blank denim, and the newest add is Mus mini bandage skirts by Mali Ro.

GWI: You know what a good shopping experience should be like,  so what are some of your favorite stores to shop at?

DG: I am a professional shopper, lol! I love H&M designer mash up collections, Barney’s and Opening Ceremony LA for their unique sense of designers and my first love Intermix for their overall branding and layout and designer contemporary offerings.

I love nOir's bold jewelry. I recently got their two finger sword ring, which I got from GILT. Very cute ring. If you haven't already, sign up for GILT Groupe for exclusive sales on designer items (great site!). http://www.gilt.com/invite/gwi
