Fit Check: Downtown's Style Scene

Atelier957 is a contemporary women's clothing boutique in downtown near Pedro Park, specializing in unique, art-inspired fashion, artisan jewelry, and footwear from small design houses around the world. Founded by sisters Marina and Liliya, the shop focuses on offering personalized styling services and timeless, versatile pieces for women of all ages and sizes.

Ramadhan “Rammy” Mohamed, named Mpls St Paul Magazine's Designer to Watch, developed her love for fashion at a young age. While she always considered design a potential career, her family had other plans for her.

Mohamed, an Oromo refugee from East Africa, attended the University of Minnesota, where she received her degree in business. Unable to ignore the creative void she felt, two years later, she decided to follow her dream of becoming a designer. Her pieces have walked incredible runways across the Twin Cities and has won every fashion award she has sought. 

Located in the Town Square Skyway, lucky locals can make an appointment to shop existing pieces or dream up something custom. 

With bespoke tailoring services, handpicked fabrics from Montreal and Italy, and an array of accessories including handmade leather goods and fine cigars, Heimie's offers a comprehensive sartorial experience unlike any other.

LaNoire Bridal was born out of a personal quest for cultural inclusivity in the bridal industry. Our founder, Lorraine Love, experienced firsthand the frustrations of searching for a culture-specific gown while accompanying her sister on her bridal shopping journey. The lack of diversity left them feeling disheartened and unrepresented.

Recognizing how much a woman's wedding day matters and the pivotal role that dress shopping plays, Lorraine was inspired to create a solution. LaNoire Bridal emerged as a beacon of elegance and diversity, a haven where brides and their entourage find everything they need under one roof.

We celebrate love, diversity, and the power of self-expression. Your special day deserves nothing less than a remarkable experience that reflects your individuality. We invite you to step into our realm of elegance and let us guide you toward your happily ever after.

As Minnesota's first Black-owned bridal boutique, we are honored to serve every bride with the representation and luxury they deserve.
