"Haute couture comes to Alameda at this sleek, high-end, San Francisco–esque boutique where the best-dressed women come for arresting special occasion wear and stylish everyday separates. The great dresses, jeans, suits, sunglasses, shoes, suits, jewelry and more come from the likes of LinQ, Voom, Lacoste, Joe’s Jeans, Nicole Miller, Via Spiga, Prada, Nora Horan and other chic designers. Tagalong spouses can get their sports fix from the big-screen TV while kids watch cartoons in the front of the store, which is owned by longtime Alamedan Rafael Perez and named for his daughter."

"Tim Gunn would approve of the frocks at M Zoe Couture (5): a velvet-buttoned bubble-sleeve-and-hem number by Nanette Lepore, a ruched olive cocktail dress in stretch satin by Nicole Miller, or a floor-length clinger by Dina Bar-El."

San Francisco Magazine


"If you spend several hundred dollars on a dress, you don’t want to see someone else at a gala in the same frock. For popular events and proms, the staff at M Zoe keeps a log, with the customers’ names and style and color of dresses, so there won’t be any confusion about who’s wearing what."

Alameda Magazine


"M Zoe Couture promises to bring high fashion to the sleepy suburban town of Alameda. The upscale boutique, which debuted earlier this month in a red carpet affair, carries lines like Donald J Pliner, C&C California, and Nicole Miller."

East Bay Express


"In preparation for the shop's grand opening Saturday, Oct. 7 at 10 a.m., Perez put on a fashion show worthy of the finest boutiques in San Francisco. The invited guests were treated to appearances by models from the hit show America's Next Top Model including Lluvy Gomez, Kyle Cavanagh, Sara Albert and Christina Murphy, who strutted down the runway past guests such as Mayor Beverly Johnson and Debra Kurita, city manager."
