About Lilly Pulitzer
Lilly Pulitzer speaks to generations of rule-breaking,
sun-followers who celebrate the spontaneous bohemian
spirit of Lilly Pulitzer. The company’s effortless fashions
are truly born from an original. It all happened by accident,
when in 1959-ish Lilly (McKim) Pulitzer – a stylish Palm
Beach hostess and socialite whose husband Peter Pulitzer
owned several Florida citrus groves – needed a project of
her own. With Peter’s produce, she opened a juice stand
on Via Mizner, just off Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. Lilly
Pulitzer’s business was a hit, but squeezing oranges,
lemons, limes, and pink grapefruit made a mess of her
clothes. Realizing that she needed a juice stand uniform,
Lilly asked her dressmaker to design a dress that would
camouflage the stains. The result? A comfortable sleeveless
shift dress made of bright, colorful printed cotton in pink,
green, yellow and orange. Although her customers liked
Lilly’s juice, they loved her shift dresses. Soon Lilly was
selling more shift dresses than juice, so she decided to
stop squeezing and focus on designing and selling her
“Lillys.” Lilly Pulitzer became a fashion sensation and
a creator of authentic American resort wear as we know
it. The brand is closing out their 60th anniversary and
continues to create authentic printed styles straight from
the in-house print design studio.
