In 1984, Evelyn & Arthur Lewis left New York for a decidedly more relaxed pace of life in Palm Beach, Florida, and in turn, created a new source of fashion borne of Evelyn's desire to have a more appropriate wardrobe. "Necessity is the mother of invention," as the saying goes, and the former New Yorkers opened their flagship store, Evelyn & Arthur, because Evelyn needed clothing that reflected her new location, lifestyle and sensibilities. Today, almost 35 years after her parents created the company founded on lifestyle, philanthropy and quality, Adrianne Weissman and her husband Fred, have expanded the company to include 7 store locations across Florida (plus an 8th store in Hilton Head, SC), a revamped Evelyn & Arthur concept with more modern, contemporary clothing and the addition of accessories and gifts. They have continued the tradition of creating high-quality exclusive styles synonymous with the Evelyn & Arthur brand.
