ADELE DALLAS ORR 

Pret a Porter Boutique

An observer of the arts, Adele draws inspiration from her customers and fashion trends from around the world. Her travels to South Africa, Europe and Asia influence her interpretation of what makes a practical wardrobe that makes her concept a success. 

 Though her clothes are stylish today, they are not 'one season' items. Her designs always look modern, uncomplicated, and are extraordinarily  well made. Her exquisite jewelry is designed to enhance her clothing line.

Adele Dallas Orr entered the fashion world in South Africa at a time when European designer clothing was only available at prohibitive prices. She took the opportunity to create stylish timeless clothing and accessories with European flair for women of all ages at an accessible price point. 

 The Adele Dallas Orr collection was sold in her chain of boutiques in Cape Town and Johannesburg and her wholesale operation in London, England. In addition, her collection was showcased at Harrogate and the London Pret a Porter trade shows. Her designs of cocktail dresses were televised during the Miss South Africa competition.

Perceiving the same niche in the market today as she had in South Africa, Adele followed her instincts and opened, Adele Dallas Orr, 'pret a porter' boutique at the Shops at North Bridge 520 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago featuring  her own brand that is made in the USA

 "My concept is that you can start with one piece and add to it, everything in my boutique links on and onto each other, sometimes it's the tiniest thing that make the biggest statement."

Adele Dallas Orr is a member of the GNMAA Greater North Michigan Association.
