Moda Mario is a unisex clothing store featuring both men's and women's wear inspired by European, and most specifically, Italian fashion. It isn't the Italian fashion of Versace's bold colors and geometric patterns or Dolce and Gabbana's leopard silk bustier dresses, but classic Italian fashion; the Italian fashion that is known for high-quality leather, well-tailored suits and soft, flowing dresses.
That doesn't mean that the fashion isn't fun or hip, because it is.
It's just not outrageous or overly trendy. The store is stocked now with chiffon summer dresses and lace midnight blue tops for girls and women that are both sexy and sophisticated. For the men, there is a variety of suits that are classic with personality, such as a wide pinstripe jacket in Burberry-like plaid paired with a silky printed red tie.
Moda Mario has been in business for 37 years, beginning in 1975 when owner Mario Argiro opened shop on Las Olas and dressed the actors of the hit show Miami Vice. Almost four decades later, the high-end store is doing well and continues to hold onto its star power by offering designer names such as:
Moda Mario recently began offering a bespoke service in which men can choose from a variety of fabrics and have them tailored to make a suit.
The store has a varied selection of accessories such as scarves, jewelry and cuff links and men's and women's shoes. There are ornate pieces of jewelry, chunky "costume" rings with large stones and delicate pieces of gold and silver. The shoes are mostly leather dress shoes for men and classy heels for women.
Moda Mario's clothing is high end and therefore features a high end price range- $100 and up for most items. Right now they're having a 40%-70% off sale. The staff at Moda Mario is cordial and helpful.
Moda Mario is located on Las Olas at 820-822 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL33301. For more information, including telephone numbers and e-mail, visit their web site.
