Mira Couture | Setting the standard the early seventies, dedicated to setting the standard for outstanding custom-made clothing, Mira Horoszowski founded La Petite Yvette Boutique in Niles, Illinois. She named the small boutique after her newly born daughter, Yvette, where she initially carried a small line of her designs. All of the clothing for the store was personally sewn by Mira, and a seamstress she had hired. From the beginning, Mira paid extremely close attention to the quality and fit of each garment made, and the construction of each and every article of clothing that was produced by the boutique. Born in Warsaw, Poland, Mira traveled to the United States via Canada. She holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and worked for U.S. Steel for a number of years before she decided to begin a career in the exciting field of fashion. Mira is very involved with Chicago charities and is a member of many women's boards. In 1999 Mira was presented the Chicago's Couturier of the Year Award by the Apparel Industry Board. On November 9, 2001, she was presented the 2001 Heritage Award. The award is presented to Polish American business leaders who have distinguished themselves in their chosen field of endeavors and brought pride to the entire Polish American Community. Raised in Chicago, Yvette graduated from Lake Forest College with a degree in Fine Arts and Psychology. As Vice President of Mira Couture, Yvette combines her talents in the field by coordinating fashion shows, heading public relations, and running the business portion of the firm. She also works as a fashion model, and is the former Miss Poland 1991. Although our name has changed to Mira Couture, the work ethic and the vision Mira had when she opened the business over thirty years ago remains the same. Mira Couture's attention to every detail continues to be the main focus of our business. Our continued commitment to our growing clientele requires that we constantly search out the newest and most up-to-date fabrics and styles, while staying current with the trends.
