'Housewives' Celebrate Fashion of Posh Boutique

Real Housewives Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile host evening that included a Hopatcong graduate and an Oak Ridge resident's work.

The Venetian in Garfield was the fashionable place to be last Thursday as Posh Boutique in Montville staged a dress and bikini fashion event hosted by "Real Housewives of NJ" stars Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile. 

The evening also featured the work of Margaux Minutolo of Oak Ridge, who is the founder and designer for Karma for a Cure, a collection of hand drawn shirts that give back to different charities.

The sold-out event also included Hopatcong graduate Meagan Ollari, Gil Rushford and Romil Robleza's clothing line Cleofe and included a number of vendors with an array of products from "Sparkle," custom-made shoes to hand-dipped berries. The evening included a dinner and opportunities to rub elbows with business owners, designers, entrepreneurs and reality TV celebrities.

Among the reality TV celebrities attending the event were "Chicago Mob Wife" Nora Scheihs and from "Jerseylicious," Jacqueline Bianchi.

"Without them, there would not be any Posh," said owner Jairo Arias. "I've gotten such great support from Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wikile and their families.  They have allowed me to style them for the TV show, for special red carpet events and for TV events."
