'Sensible' luxury

By JORDAN DECHAMBRE-CHILDERS

September 2008

The Bon-Ton Stores have raised the luxury quotient by adding an exclusive private brand from designer Victor Alfaro. Victor by Victor Alfaro is launching locally this month at Boston Store, and will offer misses,’ petite’s and women’s apparel, as well as shoes, accessories, jewelry and handbags, with the opportunity to extend into men’s apparel and home. The line will be sold in about 150 stores this year, and expand to all stores in spring 2009.

While his new collection for Bon-Ton will undoubtedly make him a household name, Alfaro is no stranger to the fashion spotlight. His designs have graced the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, and his celebrity following reaches from the musical world of Madonna and Jennifer Lopez to model Cindy Crawford to high-profile actresses Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore.

According to Alfaro, his collection "is all about pieces that transcend age and define refinement through luxurious sensibility." Watch for Alfaro to make personal appearances at Bon-Ton stores in the coming months, including Boston Store’s Sept. 20 Trendevous Fashion Show at Brookfield Square and the Women for MACC/Goodwill event Oct. 7 at the Milwaukee Hyatt Regency. – Jordan Dechambre-Childers
