Maria Churchill: Chic and Timeless Style Guru
“Boutique Owner Effortlessly Combines the Latest Trends with Classic Appeal”
Studio City, CA (PRWEB) February 9, 2005
Fashion, along with the weather, undoubtedly ranks at the top of the list of things which are nearly impossible to forecast and predict accurately. Yet Maria Churchill, owner of the hip shoe and accessory boutique debout, pinpoints and refines style trends with almost supernatural skill. After three years in the business, Maria has seen trends come and go but she has managed to stay on the pulse of what shoe aficionados want to wear. She has combined her own sense of chic comfort to continue to bring amazing one-of-a-kind-finds to debout each season.
In addition to her sharp and chic sense of fashion, Churchill is a business woman of true talent. She has an MBA from UC Berkeley, and spent many successful years working in the corporate business world. After the events of September 11th, however, Churchill was moved to follow her dream of opening a boutique and debout is the result of her pursuit of personal happiness.
Having left the corporate career track, Churchill has hit gold by combining her business acumen, education, and experience with her inborn knack for understanding what’s hot in the world of shoes and accessories. Churchill is blessed with skills that can’t be taught – a natural and unerring eye for fashion and an inherently keen sense of which trends are the ones to watch. Churchill has introduced the world to Avril Gau, Guido Bruno, hannasaren, Chie Mihara, Yosuke Yajima, Marni, koolaburra and many more. Her sensibilities and background have enabled her to build a cutting edge business with a celestial celebrity clientele.
Churchill raves, “I am anticipating an amazing 2005. There are new styles for many different tastes: Western boots, crotched flip-flops, metallic ballerinas and romantic muted tones. If you like the Western look, try a pair of cowboy boots with your favorite jeans. To go with all the beautiful embroidered skirts and blouses, the marc jacobs crochet-trim flip flops and ballerina’s are a must. But if neither of those spring styles suit you, then the metallic ballerina’s will; they go with everything, including the soft, romantic muted tones, fresh whites and metallic accessories that are hot this spring.”
A veritable magician of trend-spotting and influencing, Churchill’s innate talent for hitting the bull’s eye when it comes to the latest and classiest in footwear and accessories reveals a woman whose fashion-focused “crystal ball” is well polished and working at full power! Never one to simply follow a trend, Churchill always trusts her eye for up-to-date yet classic styles. Her recommendations and tastes transcend the decades, meaning that her style wisdom never goes out of fashion.
In 2004, ChurchillÂ’s fashionista predictions were featured on E! EnterrainmentÂ’s Online Fashion Police, Sportswear International, Ladies Who Launch, LA Confidential, LA Splash and Fox News to name a few. With her eye ever-trained on the unique and the distinctive, ChurchillÂ’s sense of style flourishes during her frequent pilgrimages abroad, where she inevitably locates designers whose products are chic, imaginative, and red carpet-ready! You only have to glance at A-list stars like Angela Bassett, Uma Thurman, Marsha Cross, Felicity Huffman, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Alanis Morrisette and others to see that debout and its savvy owner fill a fashionable niche with one-of-a-kind panache. Churchill also delights in discovering new talents, showcasing never-before-seen products by up and coming fashion stars.
Debout’s gifted owner is so keen in her sense of fashion that in a few short years she’s not only built a successful business and attracted celebrity clients, but also managed to garner raves in the style press. In Style, Lucky (Voted Best New Boutique in 2002), Daily Candy, LA Times and Where have all showcased Churchill’s boutique. A class act with an impeccable “fashion radar,” Maria Churchill is one of the premiere style guru’s of our time.
