NEW Designer Alert!!!


















As a Vietnamese American, I was pleased to come across a Vietnamese designer showcasing her talents at last year's New York Fashion Week. I am hoping we'll eventually carry her stuff at our store, but until then check out this article below all about this up-and-coming new designer.

"Thuy Launches Designer Women's Clothing Line and Opens Showroom

New fashion line Thuy launches at New York Fashion Week with the showroom exhibition of its Fall 2007 Collection. Lead designer Thuy Diep comes full circle from her days as a child learning to sew in her parent's tailoring school, to Parson School of Design graduation through diverse fashion industry work, to deliver casual chic designer clothing with understated romantic sophistication.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2007 -- Thuy is pleased to announce the launch of its Fall 2007 designer women's ready-to-wear clothing line. The exhibition of the collection to be held on Saturday February 3rd at 5 p.m., will take place at the Thuy Showroom, located at 114 W. Houston, Suite 3, New York, NY. The presentation will also mark the opening of the Thuy Showroom, a tranquil and inspirational space dedicated to the display of Thuy's clothing.

The new line is a true reflection of its designer, Thuy Diep. Born to parents who taught at and operated a tailoring school in her native Vietnam, and surrounded by an extended family spanning virtually all aspects of the fashion world, Diep began honing her skills -- and a love for well-crafted clothes -- at an early age. A Parsons School of Design graduate, Thuy's career in the fashion industry has spanned a wide variety of positions, from pattern making to designing. With the launch of her self-named label, Diep brings her life's influences to realization in her clothing.

"My clothing mixes casual chic with understated romantic sophistication," describes Diep, whose designs highlight form, craftsmanship and subtle -- yet dramatic -- details. Her creations reflect a woman of beauty and intellect, one with an artistic and forever-youthful soul.

For information on the exhibition or to schedule an appointment for the Thuy Showroom: Phone: 646-429-9521.

Founded in 2006, Thuy is a designer women's ready-to-wear clothing line -- and dedicated showroom -- based in the SoHo-area of New York City."

Merge!

Unlike having a celebrity just endorsing a fashion line, having the celebrity designing the apparel themselves brings in even more excitement. Look at the success of Madonna's partnership with H&M, it would make sense then that other celebrity designers should catch that wave and join in on the money-making bonanza!

That is the case with one of American Rag Fashion Island's favorite and best selling designers from last season, Jovovich-Hawk. In case that name didn't sound familiar, indeed that is actress/model Milla Jovovich's label. And she is taking her label into Mango stores for a limited edition line for the usually price-friendly Spanish retailer. This limited line consists of only about ten dresses, so make sure you get your hands on them before they're all gone!
Below are some of my personal favorite dresses from the line.
