1. (Note from Mary Dougherty): Nicole Miller at the Bellevue was born on March 10, 1997. I remember how it felt to be opening our doors for the first time in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, and at such a beautiful, historical hotel. I was excited (maybe a little nervous) and ready to hit the ground running! 22 years later, I never could have anticipated the incredible impact Nicole Miller at the Bellevue has made in our city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. The memories are endless – from hundreds of charitable fundraisers, fashion shows, to the extreme sense of pride that came from creating events like The Bellevue Gets Engaged and The XIX Most Fashionable Women in Philadelphia… it has certainly been an amazing ride. Stay tuned for an exciting upcoming new series of monthly gatherings focusing on fashion trends, health and wellness and more for our amazing customers.

Laura Weathers, Sabrina Pray and Mary Dougherty welcomed former Pennsylvania Governor and past Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell to the closing party.
