Peneventures is bursting with pride in being selected to carry the Badgley Mischka Platinum eveningwear collection.  Chic, sophisticated and the darling of social who’s who’s from coast to coast, Badgley Mischka is one of the most sought after labels in fashion today and Peneventures has it!

Badgley Mischka is a design team of James Mischka and Mark Badgley. They met when they both enrolled in 1982 at Parsons School of Design in New York. After graduation and separate apprenticeships Badgley with Donna Karan and Mischka with Willi Smith, the pair formed their own company in 1985.

They decided to specialize in evening wear and now stars and celebrities are clamoring for their unique brand of elegance, particularly for Oscar night. Wynona Ryder wore one of their gowns to the 1998 Oscar show. And with that their star began to rise.

In recent years they have attracted a Hollywood clientele for the Décolleté Cocktail dresses and tunics encrusted with beads as well as off the shoulder bridal gowns made of ivory lace and silk crepe. Their clientele includes Bridge Fonda, Winona Ryder, Teri Hatcher, Sharon Stone, Andie McDowell, Whitney Houston, Madonna, and Jodie Foster.

When Mark Badgley and James Mischka set out to make a beautiful evening gown, they look to glamour icons like Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe for inspiration. Their mantra became, “one zip and you are glamorous!”

Badgley and Mischka are a pair of evening-wear geniuses who showed their latest range of richly embroidered and bead-encrusted gowns, with spaghetti straps and sexy curves. Many of these will be worn on Oscar night.

Satin and chiffon gowns are their signature, and the gowns in this show also had the crystal beading which they are famous for.   If you are looking for not just special, but extraordinary – Badgley Mischka may just be the answer to your special event dilemma:  chic, sophisticated, exclusive and accessible to you locally at Peneventures.
