Mirror Mirror’s Jeanine Recckio quoted in this week’s Crain’s New York Business

: Crain’s New York Business – March 28 issue

Last Thursday, Avon Products Inc. announced that it had acquired U.K.-based Liz Earle Beauty Co., a natural skincare brand, in an all-cash transaction.

Avon pursued the acquisition because it helps the company widen its customer base in natural skincare, which Liz Earle has been known for for the past 15 years. Avon chief exec Andrea Jung said the natural line is the perfect complement to her company’s “anti-aging skincare and broader beauty portfolio.”

Crain’s New York Business asked Mirror Mirror founder and beauty analyst Jeanine Recckio her thoughts on the deal. Here’s what she had to say:

“The deal is very representative of how our industry is evolving,” Jeanine told the publication.

Jeanine expanded on that thought by saying that the move was particularly savvy on Avon’s part because Liz Earle already has a built-in customer base. No need to start from scratch!

Mirror Mirror’s Launch of New Worth Ave. Trend Offices

Administrator — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:30:43 +0000

I am thrilled to announce our new Palm Beach Trend Offices in the very chic WORTH AVENUE BUILDING! Yes, the building is PINK – perfect, right?!

We are now located across the street from Saks Fifth Avenue (I feel at right home!) and other faves like Valentino. While I miss seeing my daily trend customers at our little boutique in Via De Mario, I just really had to focus on my fast-growing beauty biz and wholesale accounts.

The fabulously pink Worth Avenue Building and my new Mirror Mirror offices on the 2nd floor!

205 Worth Avenue is perfectly located on Worth Avenue and South County Road. I LOVE it!

I can still take care of our Mirror Mirror Trend Fans from our showroom, so just call 917.348.4291 for special appointments.

And you can visit our trend boutique locations at Trump Spa at Mar-A-Lago (for members), Palm Beach Oceanfront Inn (3550 South Ocean Blvd.) and Eleven Spa (1440 North Federal Hwy.) in Delray Beach!

Also, I just decorated the Palm Beach Oceanfront Inn’s lobby and new Beach Bungalow Lounge at the Tides Bar & Grille – you’ll swear you are in South Beach! It’s super chic! I’ll add new photos to my journal next week.

Speaking of South Beach … I just got back from Miami where I stayed at the Sagamore Hotel and it was the BEST. Very cool. For the Super Bowl the entire hotel is turning into the Playboy Mansion!

And be sure to check out the new W Hotel South Beach. The lobby has a smart fashion décor. Quite unique and a definite “must see.” As I am working on my new PRODUCT LOVE marketing book and my new Floribean Fragrance (Palm Beach Pretend), South Beach was most inspiring!

MAKING A SNAKE-MENT IN PALM BEACH

By Robert Janjigian | Monday, March 2, 2009, 04:07 PM

As a professional beauty and fashion futurologist, Mirror Mirror’s Jeanine Recckio always has her eye on the trends.

At her Via de Mario boutique, 326 Peruvian Ave., Recckio’s gotten in a large stock of what she’s calling “PLYthon” handbags.

For those of you who remember “pleather,” it’s kind of the same concept, just updated for the next 15 minutes or so.

The PLYthons look like the dyed snakeskin bags that are all the rage right now, but, as they are made of textured vinyl, aren”t quite as pricey as the real thing, which cost upwards of a $1,000 for clutch, $3,000 or more for a full-size satchel.

“They are obviously more animal friendly, too,” said Recckio, who also thinks women will appreciate their lighter-than-real-python-skin weight

Her PLYthon clutches are a mere $75, with larger totes priced at $150.

The larger bags she refers to as â€œgrande dameâ€ beach bags.

“They’re sort of like Ivana Trump goes to the beach,” Recckio said.

“A good giggle bag that’s just a little decadent and budget friendly.”

If you’re not in town and can’t just stop by Mirror Mirror at a moment’s notice, you can always phone Recckio at (561) 655-1045 or e-mail her: jeanine@mirrormirrorinc. com.

The Palm Beach Kurta Collection

Administrator — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 20:20:55 +0000

All of our beautiful Kurtas are designed by Jeanine Recckio.
Inspired by Palm Beach and handcrafted in India from the
villages around Lucknow, central India a famous area which provided
the Moghul royalty with their court clothing and also their typical traditional
day to day wear in the hot summer season. “Chikan” work is a form of
“whitework” involving open holes overlaid with hand embroidery – to allow
air vents for cooling – yet keeping a beautiful look. They are usually done
with a white on white hand-embroidery. Their stitching techniques include
appliqué pulled and drawn-thread work and embroidery. Oftentimes small
bits of sewn-on mica; pearls; semi-precious stones etc. were added -
depending on the status of the wearer. The handwork involved in their
making was oriented to the royalty etc. With that group no longer around
this art form is in danger of disappearing due to machines – particularly
those embroideries coming from China.

Only $135 each!

This art form is spectacular value for the amount and care of the handwork
involved! Our Kurtas are available in sizes s- xl in all colors & lengths
they are true treasures and I enjoy designing them for you! Enjoy !
