Founded in Rome in 1996, ALYSI is a women's clothing and accessories brand recognized for its contemporary, eclectic, and sophisticated "Made in Italy" style. It blends refined, tailored pieces with relaxed silhouettes, focusing on high-quality fabrics, unique color combinations, and intricate details.
Idlewild is an independent designer boutique located in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. We offer a considered selection of women’s and men’s clothing, shoes, accessories, and objects from independent and international designers, with a focus on thoughtful design, quality materials, and pieces meant to be worn and lived in.
Idlewild was founded in 2015 and is co-owned by Julie Clark, Jessica Murray, and Tessa Clark — a team with deep roots in design, retail, and fashion. Over the past decade, the store has become a trusted destination for those seeking clothing and objects that feel both artful and wearable.
Our approach to designer shopping is intentionally slow and considered. Rather than chasing trends, we focus on well-made pieces with longevity — items that become part of a wardrobe over time.
At Idlewild, you’ll find a rotating selection of women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, and objects from independent and international designers. The assortment is curated to balance form and function, with pieces that work across seasons and settings.
Many of the designers we carry are selected for their commitment to craftsmanship, material integrity, and thoughtful design—making Idlewild a destination for those looking for designer fashion in Cincinnati that feels personal rather than mass-produced.
In 2025, Idlewild expanded its presence in Over-the-Rhine with the opening of FORM, a natural evolution of our original vision. Located directly adjacent to the boutique, FORM offers a deeper exploration of the avant-garde, featuring a broader collection of sculptural footwear, experimental silhouettes, and artful objects. The two spaces are connected by a historic interior archway, allowing for a seamless journey between timeless wardrobe essentials and more conceptual, boundary-pushing design.
A visit to Idlewild is designed to encourage discovery and curiosity. Our physical space in Over-the-Rhine allows guests to engage with the tactile nature of our collections — feeling the weight of the fabrics, observing the construction of the garments, and exploring unique objects in person. We aim to provide an environment where shopping feels like an exploration of design rather than a routine task, offering a high-touch experience that helps each visitor find pieces that resonate on a personal level.
