Although Glenda Lugay may not be new to the fashion scene, her ideas about fashion prove more innovative than any around. A risk-taker, she has often been the career maker for talented designers and new companies. A woman who knows her mind and tastes, Lugay has never been one to compete with big retailers or even stock the inventory that they do at her trendy Los Angeles boutique, Tres Jolie.
Brought up on the Caribbean island St. Martin, Lugay’s career in fashion started at age 12, when she began work at popular, high-end retail stores after school. By age 14, she took on management positions, working at stores like Fendi and Gucci. A multilingual woman, she traveled Europe for four years before being recruited to work in high-end boutiques in New York in the early nineties. She then moved to Los Angeles, where she helped open several extremely successful stores from the ground up like Kitson and earned herself a strong clientele of international celebrities.
After realizing that her potential for success would only take her so far, in September 2001, she opened her very own store, Tres Jolie in West Hollywood. Filled with stylish, hand-picked jewelry and accessories, Tres Jolie became a destination for shoppers from all over. Its popularity was so great that Lugay opened a second location in Beverly Hills, which is also home to hundreds of unique pieces from today’s up-and-coming designers. Tres Jolie has firmly established itself as the headquarters for innovative fashion and accessories, sparking such trends as the Flo line (a line of silk carrying cases). Glenda has also created her own floral fragrance, Jivanna. Tres Jolie’s ever-growing clientele and long list of regular customers show that its wide range of unique styles can suit almost anyone. Tres Jolie and its pieces have also been featured in numerous magazines, television programs, movies, and music videos, not to mention the countless Hollywood A-listers who she has made custom pieces for. Glenda’s small business translates through her big heart in working with many local and country-wide charities.
Although the two stores are located on Beverly Boulevard and Beverly Drive, one can also order pieces online at www.tresjolie.us, which features an ever-changing array of merchandise as well as the latest fashion press clips about Tres Jolie jewelry and accessories. Glenda doesn’t expect to stop there, though: her goal is to make Tres Jolie an international brand, and one of her biggest dreams is to one day sit down with Oprah Winfrey, so keep an eye on this fierce Leo lady because the best is yet to come!
