Deborah Shuart was born and raised outside of Manhattan, but moved to South Florida after college—she graduated from Marywood College and the Fashion Institute of Technology with a bachelor’s degree in fashion, buying, and merchandising—to work for Federated Department Stores (now Macy’s, Inc.) in Miami. Throughout the 1980s, she was a buyer of women’s apparel, but after 12 years and two babies, she struck out on her own to open Deborah James, a high-end contemporary boutique with an emphasis on trends and emerging designers from Europe and the U.S. Now with locations in North Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Fort Lauderdale, Deborah James has evolved into a South Florida fashion authority. Shuart, who is married and has three grown children, resides in Jupiter.
