What: A well-known, family-owned luxury retailer in Charleston, SC (with a second location to come).

Owners: Marshall Simon (2nd Generation) and Madison Simon (3rd generation)

Origin Story: Founded in 1967, Gwynn's of Mount Pleasant began as a small, family-run women's store serving the Charleston community. What started as a single storefront has evolved into a 20,000-square-foot multi-brand department store blending heritage and modern luxury — still proudly independent, still family-owned.

Across six decades, Gwynn's has become a Southern institution, known for curating world-class designers with genuine hospitality. From Brunello Cucinelli, Oscar de la Renta and Zimmermann to the best in beauty, shoes and gifts, the store offers an experience that rivals major luxury retailers — but with a distinctly Charleston charm.

Today, under the leadership of Marshall Simon and his daughter, Madison Simon, Gwynn's continues to evolve for the next generation: blending local tradition with digital innovation, editorial storytelling and experiential retail. From the coffee bar greeting guests at the entrance to a tailoring department led by a head tailor of 37 years, every detail reflects a commitment to service.

Looking ahead, Gwynn's will expand its legacy with a new King Street location — an elevated, highly curated concept anchored by its enduring partnership with Brunello Cucinelli.

The customer: A modern, style-driven client who values quality, personalization and an elevated shopping experience.

Special Services: Gwynn's hosts more than 30 trunk shows, soirées and exclusive brand events each year, offering clients access to new collections, designer meet-and-greets and personalized styling experiences. Signature offerings include private shopping suites, in-house tailoring, on-site monogramming and a coffee and champagne bar.

In stock: Women's and men's clothing, accessories, beauty and gifts from Brunello Cucinelli, TWP, Zimmermann, Nili Lotan, Versace and more.

For so many who pursue a career in design, it's the memories of watching glamorously decorated films and television shows and ornate stagings of theatrical productions that serve as their initial motivations to enter the fashion industry. While some might be inspired to create their own fashion labels, others experience a different calling. That is, to costume design. Linda Muir, the Oscar-nominated costume designer for her work on Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu," explains that the skillsets required for each career path differ. "If a person goes to fashion school, they will likely learn skills that are more geared toward creating clothing for people to go into a store and buy," she tells Fashionista. "So often, I meet people who would like to work in a film costume department, but they don't necessarily know how to do the things that, if on a period film, for instance, we would need them to do." Whether it's a period piece or contemporary, ev...

📰 I Can Now Dress Like Polly Pocket, Thanks to Lisa Says Gah ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. As it did for most early-2000s babies, Polly Pocket reigned supreme as my childhood toy of choice. Of course, my Barbie and Littlest Pet Shop collections were close contenders (and later my Monster High queens), but I cherished Polly Pocket's heart-shaped compact dollhouses with their teeny-tiny figures. Polly Pocket underwent a major makeover in the late '90s, transforming her from the cutest potential choking hazard to a slightly larger ponytailed doll with candy-colored rubber (read: chewable) clothing. It was this revamped Polly's Y2K-inspired style that influenced my own fashion sense, and now Lisa Says Gah is bringing the toy's nostalgic aesthetic to life as the California-based multi-brand retailer teamed up with Polly Pocke...

Lilis Instant Peel, $92, available here Photo: Courtesy of Lilis Editors' Picks are the Fashionista team's true (#notspon) fashion and beauty obsessions, handpicked by professionals who see it all. Any beauty product you see here has been vetted and tested by the editor recommending it. As we approach the official start to spring and take time to tidy up, refresh and generally reset so many aspects of our lives, I ask you: Why neglect the skin? If you're at all like me, even though you spent the winter months moisturizing dutifully, your dull, scaly arms and legs are begging for a little extra attention. Enter:  Lilis Instant Peel , the most satisfying body exfoliator I've ever tried. I first heard about Lilis — a body-care brand inspired by "Korean skin-care innovation and spa culture" — from beloved NYC facialist  Elizabeth Grace Hand, who sung its praises in a holiday gift guide we did last year . "Nothing makes the skin quite as soft as thi...
