Peter Elliot Style
People May 22nd, 2012When Charleston, South Carolina native Eliot Rabin arrived in New York decades ago, his sharp eye and Southern gentleman-sartorial design skills were quickly put to use by fashion houses like Oscar de la Renta, Pucci, and Givenchy. Rabin then struck out on his own and opened Peter Eliot Mens, Womens, Blue and Boots–boutiques whose timelessly elegant collections rise high above the whims and vagaries of fashion fads.
Eliot’s most recent project is the renovation of his Southampton beach house, and what a perfect time to partner with Taigan! The theme of the house will be “a whimsical mood of timeless elegance,” which will infuse vibrant colors, interesting textures, and lifestyle pieces that create the ultimate destination to entertain.
