Beautiful new clothes, outstanding jewelry display cases, a gorgeous staircase and  the second floor of brand new make-up items made guests so happy that Balliet’s at Classen Curve is finally open and a reality. The grand opening of the store at 5801 NW Grand Blvd. was September 1.

A private reception, ribbon cutting and open house was held throughout the day. 1,000 friends, guests, customers and VIP’s attended the event hosted by Dede and Bob Benham.

Felix Cutillo, New York City, provided music.  He “mixes” custom music for Balliet’s, as well as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Barney’s. Special guest was Matt Shay, head of the National Retailer Federation.

Guests also enjoyed seeing the very special dressing rooms at the store. They are all decorated with different museum piece furniture. Another fun feature was the elevator, with a very red interior. It took them to the second floor. The courtyard outside the store is lighted and has beautiful water fountains.
