Famed Waldorf-Astoria
Added: June 17, 2009
All the
theater and drama of couture fashion was present at Couture Fashion
Week New York in February 2009. The three- day spectacle was a parade
of glamorous evening wear as well as innovative couture and luxury
wear. The moods of the shows ran the gamut from theatrical to
sensual, from whimsical to classic, from traditional to futuristic.
Wall to wall enthusiastic audiences of top socialites, diplomats and
editors from around the world flocked to the perennially elegant
Waldorf-Astoria February 13-15, 2009 to enjoy couture and luxury
fashion collections on the runway by designers from Lebanon, Russia,
Romania, Dominican Republic, India, Australia, Egypt, Korea, Turkey,
Japan and the USA. Performances by world class entertainers including
cellist Gjilberta Gelaj, singer Lara Janine, the NTDTV Lion! Dance
Troupe, singer Najibah, Chinese zither artist Xianzi Ai and Chinese
pipa artist April Zhu also enchanted attendees.
Launched in
2003, Couture Fashion Week has grown into a prestigious event
recognized worldwide for its success in presenting stunning couture
fashion shows in such upscale venues as the St. Regis, The Westin
Times Square and the Waldorf-Astoria. Event founder and producer
Andres Aquino (also an accomplished fashion designer in his own
right) along with a talented team of top makeup and hair stylists,
models and staff continue to make Couture Fashion Week "the"
place to see and be seen during New York Fashion Week. "The
days are cold, the models are hot, and, most importantly, the clothes
are rocking this season. Couture Fashion Week in New York City
arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel's Starlight Roof last week."

Leading
couture designer Dany Atrache, who held his first runway show in
Beirut and has shown at the Paris haute couture season for several
years, mesmerized the discerning audience with a breathtaking
collection of exclusive designs made especially for his USA debut at
Couture Fashion Week New York. "Atrache's mix of chic elegance
with comfort, form and fit has his designs sitting on the lips of
many this season. He's a designer who sees beauty in unexpected
places and this translates to his gowns &ldots; The confidence of the
gown as it delicately draped the models made me think of how much fun
a bride in that dress
would have on her special night." - woai.com
Catalin
Botezatu returned to Couture Fashion Week with a theatrical fashion
show that drew celebrities and well-known international personalities
including opera star Angela Gheorghiu and Olympic gold medalist Nadia
Comaneci. "Romanian designer Catalin Botezatu's collection was
focused on luxury. Everything about his show was over the top - from
the make up the models wore - a white canvas with theatrical eye
shadow and lipstick, to the hats, which were representative of pieces
of art." |
