Tango Inspired Fashion Collection Fashion by Andrea Katz Chmapagne Fashion Brunch by Andres Aquino

Designer Andrea Katz’s tango-inspired fashion collection will be presented Sunday, March 12, 2006 Champagne Fashion Brunch to be held at La Prima Donna restaurant, 163 West 47th Street, in the heart of New York City’s Times Square and famous theater district. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. show starts at 1 p.m.
New York-based designer Andrea Katz has blended her quirky contemporary clothing and accessories line with her addiction to tango. The latest AKO (Andrea Katz Objects) line features clothing as architectural objects for the body. Attention to detail draws on the romanticism of the classic dance, designed to move fluidly on the body, yet not the typical tango slit-skirt look. As an artist, Ms. Katz says that she has never joined anything conventional, but tango demands the use of conventions. The dance may require it but what one wears on as well as off the dance floor certainly does not. Ms. Katz appropriately manufactures her handbags and leather clothing in Buenos Aires. “I am happy to support the Argentine economy,” the designer notes, “as Argentina has given me so much through this dance form.”
“Ms Katz is an artist on many levels and she brings her passion for tango and art to her fashion design,” says fashion show producer and company CEO Andres Aquino. “It is with great pleasure and excitement we bring her collection to our audience and the press.”
The talented designer’s unique creations will be presented along with La Prima Donna’s elegant and traditional Tuscan cuisine updated with Venetian style and modern urban panache making for a fabulous afternoon in New York City. “We expect a full house on March 12th,” continues Mr. Aquino, “with guests from Europe, Kentucky, Georgia, Texas, California and the tri-state area. These events are always an enjoyable experience where the audience can actually purchase what they see on the runway.”
