Lindsey Michetti as Cécile Lemercier. At 26, she is the Chief Creative Director of luxury clothing brand, Merveilleux. Born and raised in Manhattan, she lived with her mother Margaret, father Nicolas, and twin sister Gabrielle until she was 10 when her mother and sister died in a massive fire in their Manhattan Penthouse. Devastated by the loss, Cécile was raised by her father who struggled balancing being a single parent and his job as Chief Creative Director of his clothing brand Merveilleux. Sixteen years later, her father Nicolas Lemercier committed suicide suddenly at 57. After the tragic death of her father, Cecile’s world flipped once again when she learned her father left the company to her, his only living heir. Fast forward one year and Cécile has completely revamped the brand and led it into a new era of fashion.
Eric Pilecki as Christian Dilaurentis. At 32, Christian is the Public Relations Coordinator for Merveilleux and boyfriend of Cécile. Christian
grew up in Saugus, Massachusetts with his mother, father and two sisters. He graduated Saugus High and moved on to attend Boston
College for 4 years majoring in
Business/Marketing. After college, Christian worked for Weber Shandwick in
Boston doing Public Relations. After several years
working for the company, he
reached out to his uncle Phillip who was working in New York for Merveilleux. Ultimately, Phillip
helped him land the job as Public
Relations Coordinator for Merveilleux and
at 26 Christian moved to Manhattan to start his new job.
Mark Evans as Phillip Marx. At 62, Phillip is the Pattern Designer for Merveilleux. Phillip
was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. As a child Phillip was often teased for his wardrobe, so he took the time to learn how to
make his own clothes on a dusty sewing machine he found at the Salvation Army. Phillip quickly developed and eye for
fashion and a skill for making and altering clothing to tailor his needs. In 1976 Phillip enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology. During his studies he
met fellow student Nicolas Lemercier and they formed
a friendship and partnership that lasted throughout their years studying at the Fashion
Institute. When Nicolas found fame in the fashion industry, a part of Phillip always resented his success. He eventually landed a job with Merveilleux working for his former friend and struggled to find his place in the company.
Helen Byrne as Tina Napolitano. Acting as a second
brain to Cécile, Tina is her trusty assistant. Her attention to detail,
promptness, and exceptional organization keep Cécile and her empire in check.
Tina is a native of Chicago, Illinois and came to New York at 22 hoping to get
a job on Wall Street with her Bachelor of Arts in Business Management from
Illinois State University. Short of funds and unsuccessful in finding entry-level
employment in the financial world, Tina took a job as Cécile’s assistant to pay
the bills. Two years later at 24, Tina has grown very comfortable with her role
and has developed a deep friendship with her boss.
Christopher Hajeck as Ryan Hollings. Vital to the staff, Ryan helps keep Cécile and all models for Merveilleux looking fabulous on a daily basis. At 34, Ryan is celebrating his 10-year anniversary with the brand this year. After dropping out of high school in Brooklyn New York at 16, Ryan worked retail for Bloomingdale’s, where he frequently helped style customers. After being hired as a full time personal shopper by the retail giant, Ryan worked for four years and built an impressive client base. Loyal customer Paula Dion referred Ryan to an opening at Merveilleux for a stylist position and since then, Ryan has made sure all the ladies of Merveilleux always look red carpet ready.
