About Marilyn Miglin L.P.

Marilyn Miglin L.P. was founded in 1963 by Marilyn Miglin... She attended Northwestern University on a math scholarship while beginning her career as a model and ballerina. She modeled for Marshall Field’s prestigious 28 Boutique, taught ballet, and worked as a Chez Paree Adorable in Chicago’s famous Chez Paree club. As a model, she could not find the right products necessary for her trade. This led her to realize that Chicago had a great need for unique beauty products and opened her first store, Marilyn Miglin Model Makeup on Oak Street. Marilyn believed in empowering women to be the best they can be. As her business grew, she opened a laboratory to develop the finest skincare and cosmetics. Marilyn went on to launch one of her most successful fragrances, Pheromone®, sold nationwide at major department stores. It grew to become one of the top 10 luxury fragrances sold nationwide. She was one of the first celebrities to sell fragrance on the Home Shopping Network, selling countless bottles of perfume, skincare, and cosmetic Confidence Kits over 26-years. With the release of her next fragrance, Destiny®, she founded The Women of Destiny Program, recruiting 200 of Chicago’s most successful women to serve as mentors for young women in their chosen profession with the goal of showing young women their capabilities. Now over 60 years later the company is still proudly family/locally owed and operated with products made in the USA. “Always put your best face forward”.Read their story
