Photo by Valentina V Fashion WorldI just showed my SS 2012 dress collection titled " Triumvirate of Seduction" during New York Fashion Week on September 11th, 2011 at the amazing DUO - the sophisticated, beautifully decorated, recently opened restaurant / lounge owned by two gorgeous sisters.
Historically and politically 'Triumvirate' meant a group of three men holding power. Translating this concept into my world of couture, I singled out three powerful seduction elements that I design for, around, and always in mind with - Bust, Waist, and Hips - thus creating "Triumvirate of Seduction" as a perfect name for a collection purely consisting of alluring, feminine pieces.
My celebrity guests for the night were the divine Sasha Gradiva, who looked more breathtaking than ever, rapper Slick the Misfit, DJ Vinyla, actress Jessica Sherr and singer Xavier Le Pop Star.
Hand-picked, stunning models were slowly moving around the dimly lit rooms decorated with crystal chandeliers, soft leather banquettes and twenty foot murals depicting the sister duo owners, to the sound of a spine-tingling tango by Gotan Project...
