Our Story
At PAPARAZZI, we have been dedicated to redefining style and fashion since our doors opened in 1996. Inspired by the Glitz and Glam of the Entertainment Industry, it’s been our mission to offer a carefully curated collection of clothing, jewelry and accessories that exude Elegance and Individuality. As we adapt to changing times, we continue to be a beacon of elevated fashion in our community. In 2007, we launched our first website highlighting our boutique and offering our goods on the World Wide Web, allowing everyone to enjoy the PAPARAZZI experience. Since then, we expanded our online presence to include some of our products on Amazon. Our Brand is proudly aligned with Super Brands, however, we mix in some smaller independent designers for interest. You can follow us on Instagram @paparazziboutiquect.
How did we come up with our Brand name? We knew that we wanted our clients to have an immediate connotation to the allure and excitement of celebrity glamour whenever our brand was mentioned. The term PAPARAZZI was born out of the bustling and glamorous atmosphere of the Via Veneto in Rome, Italy during the 1960s. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting this iconic street in person several times. It was the hotspot for celebrities, artists and filmmakers who would often be followed by photographers trying to capture candid shots. Inspired by this cultural phenomenon, We chose “PAPARAZZI” for our brand name as it conveys a sense of Celebrity Status, Spotlight Events and all things Glamorous! Who doesn’t want to look their best when the cameras are flashing?
