Laurie O'Connell, OwnerI was born in Baltimore, Maryland. After college, I moved to Aspen for a winter to ski and fell in love with Colorado. After living in NYC for 11 years, I made my way back to Colorado. I founded Perch in 2012 and have loved every minute of it!
Who is your favorite designer and why?
That is tough! Of course, I love many for various reasons. Right now, I am loving Ulla Johnson, her designs are just so gorgeous and wearable. You feel like a beautiful woman when you are wearing anything she's designed.
What is your favorite season in Colorado?
All of them! But I would have to say spring, coming out of the long winter and thawing out feels awesome!
Where would you like to vacation next?
St Barths....yes please!
Do you have any pets?
If you don't know Seamus (my black lab), you don't know me at all!
The meal you dream about most:
The lobster roll at CRU Nantucket, with a glass of rose
When you're not styling the most fabulous ladies in Colorado, you enjoy:
I love a good hike in the summer, a powder day in the back bowls and spending time with girlfriends with a good tequila cocktail.

Miriam Tope Willard, Perch Denver & VailAt Perch since 2016 Hometown: Born and raise in the beautiful state of Michigan. Who is your favorite designer and why? I truly don’t think I can pick a favorite designer... there are so many incredibly talented designers and quite honestly my “loves” change from season to season. Every designer creates differently with every season. I tend love Nili Lotan for the Fall/Winter for her amazing knits and delicious leathers. For the Spring/Summer nobody does it like Dries Van Noten with his stunning floral patterns and beautifully designed clothes . Nicky and Simone Zimmermann, the sister designer duo that created the gorgeously unique line ZIMMERMANN, definitely have stolen my heart for their show stopping creations and sexy feminine style. What is your favorite season in Colorado? My favorite season in Colorado is the Indian Summers. Still warm and sunny but you can sense the change of season coming .. and see the leaves slowly move from green to gold. Where would you like to vacation next? Anywhere that allows me to be with my husband and son Dillon. Do you have any pets? Oh my goodness YES! I have 2 little terrorists! They are tea cup Yorkies that truly believe they are Rottweilers! Lily & Lulu or fondly referred to as “Spaghetti & Meatball” and if you ever get to meet them , you will know exactly why! The meal you dream about most: Fabulous wine and melt in your mouth delicious cheese! Yes... I know that’s not a meal... but it is to me!! When you're not styling the most fabulous ladies in Colorado, you enjoy: I like to workout, run, do SoulCycle... ( have to be able to fit into all the beautiful clothes) Spend time with my husband and son, and work in my garden. Gardening brings me such pleasure and joy... plus plants don’t talk!!! Ha! |

Monell Foster, Perch Vail Sales AssociateAt Perch since 2020 Hometown: Lansing, Michigan Who is your favorite designer and why? Loyd Ford. I love his flamboyant pattern variations and themes. The jackets and pieces are a way to experiment with your own style and step outside of your comfort zone. I find the designs to be playful and loud, a staple to any wardrobe! What is your favorite season in Colorado? Ski Season!! Where would you like to vacation next? Walloon Lake (home) Do you have any pets? A 5 month old Chesapeake retriever named Bashor The meal you dream about most: Grilled octopus and margaritas on the mountain standard patio. When you're not styling the most fabulous ladies in Colorado, you enjoy: I can be found outside ninety percent of the time. In the winter I will never be found more than a mile away from the mountain. Powder day or not, I am an avid skier and love the surrounding lifestyle. In the summer I am either on my road bike, just trying to keep up with the longtime locals, or at a nearby patio enjoy happy hour and mingling with friends. I love the community of Vail, and am very lucky to be able to call this beautiful place home! Click here to connect with Monell
