FAVORITE DONNA MIZANI COACHELLA LOOK: Tie Front Blouse in Almond
The Donna Mizani Tie front blouse would have been the perfect pick for the Coachella 2011 festival. Sexy, dessert chic - the top showcases the perfect amount of skin for the outdoor festival. The Donna Mizani Tie Front Blouse is available at Singer 22.

VERSATILITY: Bow Dress

With so many “going out” dresses all over the place, it can become hard to decipher exactly what is worth it, and what isn’t. While it is most important to versatility, one must also consider style, design and quality when searching for the perfect pieces to purchase.

Although I love so many dresses on the market right now, I must admit that the Donna Mizani Bow Dress is one of my favorites. The bow dress offers the versatility of being formal, while maintaining a youthful image. Actress Lindsay Lohan recently wore the Bow Dress to the Giuseppe Zanotti Beverly Hills store opening – she looks elegant yet fun (see picture above)! Purchase the Donna Mizani Bow Dress at Singer 22.

New Website!

With so much press surrounding the Donna Mizani label it only seemed natural to re-launch the official website with a comprehensive photo gallery of every Donna Mizani collection produced thus far, as well as exclusive media and video content. We are also working diligently to launch an E-Commerce portion of the site within the next few weeks. E-Commerce meaning you can order DIRECTLY from our offices without any loopholes. Click here to access the Donna Mizani website.

It only seemed natural to update the official Facebook page, as well. The official Donna Mizani Facebook page now offers photo albums featuring every celebrity sighting in DM attire, as well as other various behind the scenes footage. The Donna Mizani Facebook page also allows fans to interact directly with the designer herself. Check out the fan page here!

Kristin Cavallari for Donna Mizani

With The Hills star, Kristin Cavallari becoming an obvious fan of the Donna Mizani label, it only seems natural to invite her to be a part of the brand. Although Ms. Cavallari has a grueling schedule, she took time out to not only tweet about fanning our official Facebook page, but to also shot a very special Fall 2011 look book video. The video featured 5 looks from the Fall 2011 collection and recently premiered on Perez Hilton.

Following the Perez Hilton premiere we held a very special launch party to celebrate the collection at the W Hotel here in Los Angeles. Below are pictures from the event.

3/24/11 - STAPLE ALERT: Sexy Cutout Dress

After producing for every season since the 2009 debut (that’s over 6 collections!) there have been a variety of Donna Mizani pieces infiltrating the luxury market, however there seems to be one piece that has really become a staple in every collection.

The Donna Mizani Fall 2010 Collection featured a one-shoulder cutout dress, simply titled “sexy cutout dress.” This little black dress alternative really made the Donna Mizani brand a fix with fashion boutiques nationwide. Since the sexy cutout dress made its debut many of Hollywood’s hottest have worn it out and about, including Kristin Cavallari, Analynne McCord, and just recently Daveigh Elizabeth. Unfortunately the label has had a bit of trouble keeping up with demanding orders, as the dress is almost always sold out. Just recently the sexy cutout dress was restocked at Singer 22.
