Style Tips from Nilou
The one piece that is a must-have
for every woman’s wardrobe
A crisp white slightly oversized
button down shirt, because it
always looks chic no matter how it
is worn. It’s an absolute no-brainer
on those days that you can’t seem
to find anything to wear...unless of
course it’s in the dirty bin, so you
may want to have two or three!
Favorite accessory
My favorite accessory is a scarf by
Faliero Sarti. Not only do they feel
amazing on the skin, it’s the easiest
way to instantly elevate any
ensemble and add a touch of luxury.
The designer who every woman
shouldn’t live without Nili
Lotan…no one does wardrobe
staples like her! Rather than
reinventing herself each season,
she consistently offers up her
classic tried and true shapes in
novelty textiles. She appeals to
every woman, regardless of age
or body type.

Copycat or Trendsetter
Being a fashion copycat is easy
when you know where to look. Nilou
is a trendsetter who has women
everywhere mimicking her style. She
is the sole buyer for her boutique
and her taste is impeccable. Heist
stocks elite designer clothing
labels that will impress the styleconscious shopper. The overall style
can be described as “understated
chic.” She says, “I was amongst the
first retailers to bring designer
Isabel Marant stateside, and
I credit Marant as one of my
biggest influencers over the years.”
The label to watch
Ulla Johnson, a designer who is
inspired by all the places she
traveled with her archeologist
111
parents. She’s evolving and
elevating her brand beautifully;
definitely one to watch.
The most sought after
designer at Heist
Raquel Allegra. We just can’t keep it
in stock no matter how deep we go.
Her pieces are at once relaxed and
refined...hitting a sweet spot with
our Venice clientele.
Favorite piece of jewelry
My oversized index ring...I feel naked
without it, and besides, it’s a great
conversation starter.
Designer with the most
staying power
It’s a tie between Humanoid and
Nili Lotan. They do the best job in
staying true to their sensibility and
at the same time enticing us with
new materials. Their consistency
garners a loyal following that
comes back season after season.
Must-buy splurge for Fall
The thought of having to select
only one piece is scary, but it would
have to be a fur vest – I mean if it
must be just one piece, it would
have to be something amazing!”
