Boutique owner brought European fashions to Metro Detroit
For nearly two decades, Mr. Marvin dressed and styled women of Metro Detroit in designs and brands from Europe.
Owner Marvin Dictor’s eye for style and décor spoke louder than words and colors could.
“To this day, customers remember how wonderful it was to enter his beautiful boutiques to purchase clothing lines that were not carried by other stores,” said daughter Sheryl Fellows.
Mr. Dictor, of Farmington Hills, died Monday of congestive heart failure. He was 77.
He was born in Detroit on Oct. 21, 1931.
Shortly after graduating from Central High School, he married his high school sweetheart, Rita Selman. Though they would divorce later, they always maintained a good friendship. Read more
