Go From Drab To Fab With This Season's Must-Haves

Article Body:
As chillier temps approach, it's time to update your wardrobe with this season's most fabulous attire. Being fashionable doesn't have to be painstaking or have to cost a fortune. With a few essential "must-haves" in your closet, you can easily pull off the hottest runway looks in just minutes. Here are a few trends to watch out for this season:

Campus Chic

Collegiate sportswear was all the rage on New York Fashion Week runways. To look like you've just stepped off a college campus, add a colorful rugby or striped cardigan to complement a pair of pleated wool pants with a natural waistline. Save money by digging into your old coed gear at the back of your closet or in the attic--they're begging to be revamped and worn! Pull out your favorite long, chunky scarf that you loved to sport during freshman year and match it with a pair of skinny denims, add an oversized knit cocoon coat and embrace the warmth and style of the season.

Back to Basics

Covering up your legs this season is a must. Hosiery is a great way to spice up any outfit. Select from a wide range of patterns and textures to accent your look and choose a neutral color palette such as heather gray, oatmeal or brown. These colors are perfect to mix and match with other pieces in your closet. Eye-catching leggings or hosiery can be worn under a knee-length pencil skirt or a tailored pair of Bermuda shorts. Don't forget to finish the look with an important "must-have" accessory--a wide, woven belt, cinched at the waist--to give you the chic, trendy look seen in all the fashion magazines.

Designers to Watch

If you are wondering which are the best designers to snag these accessories from, fashion magazines have been touting the work of six, hot, talented designers. Trendsetters Rodarte, Rag & Bone, Vena Cava, VPL, Hanuk, and Brian Reyes have each won the prestigious Ecco Domani? Fashion Foundation Award, a grant given by Ecco Domani Italian wines to the most promising new designers. These six fashion designers have made quite a splash at Fashion Week in New York, and by simply incorporating just one or two of their designs into your wardrobe, you can look like a fashionista overnight.

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.?

Opportunities are available for sponsors and advertisers looking to reach an affluent fashion-conscious audience. They come for special occasions such as family reunions, birthdays and anniversaries, father-daughter outings, and wedding proposals. From the Far East to Europe to Canada and South America, the shows have generated a great deal of interest, and people are buying tickets up to six months in advance. Tickets are available through the company website http://www.usafashionshows.com as well as through various ticket outlets worldwide.

The participating designers present some of the best wearable couture and exquisite accessories. Recent shows have featured collections by designers from a host of countries including Austria, South Africa, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Russia, Israel, Bulgaria, England, India, and USA.

Upcoming Champagne Fashion Brunch events will be making donations to a major children?s charity helping to provide food, clean water, medical care and other assistance in poverty stricken countries around the world.

Designer Natasha Ulyanov?s fashion collection will be presented on Sunday, March 26, 2006 at the Champagne Fashion Brunch to be held at La Prima Donna restaurant, 163 West 47th Street, in New York City?s famous theater district. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. and the show starts at 1:00 p.m.

The timeless elegance of Natasha Ulyanov?s fashion designs springs from her juxtaposition of European heritage and American confidence. Born in London and raised in Moscow and New York, Natasha has a cosmopolitan perspective on the philosophies of various cultures on beauty and sophistication. Natasha took her cue for fashion design from her experience in visual arts and oil painting, having studied at the Greenwich Academy and having her work published in Art World magazine. Taking art to the next level of turning it into a living expression, Natasha immersed herself into the world of fashion design, graduating from New York?s acclaimed Parsons School of Design and later working with designers Alice Roi, Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka, J Mendel and Valentino. Motivated to launch her own line, her first signature collection was inspired by the ever-stylish Audrey Hepburn and was shown at New York?s Guggenheim Museum as part of the most-visited exhibit in the history of the museum entitled ?Russia?.

Natasha Ulyanov continues working to become an influential force in the fashion industry, giving those who wear her designs a new form of expression. Her ageless sophistication and attention to detail and shape bring out the wearer?s inner beauty.

?With the participation of Ms. Ulyanov in the upcoming Champagne Fashion Brunch it all comes together in one place,? says producer Andres Aquino, ?Flavor, taste, ambiance, culture and couture. You have delicious Tuscan cuisine, fine champagne, fashion from a Russian designer and a Dominican designer, jewelry from South African and Austrian designers, beautiful models, exquisite makeup and hair styling and an audience from three continents as well as press and stylish music. This is a unique forum where designers connect directly with high-end consumers in an elegant relaxed atmosphere in the Times Square area right in heart of New York City.?

With the upcoming web casting of the fashion shows and launch of the company?s own magazine as well as ongoing advertising in the New York Times, Playbill and many other publications, there are many opportunities available to sponsors and advertisers looking to reach an affluent fashion-conscious audience at both the national and international levels. Tickets to the shows are becoming hot commodities as appreciation gifts and corporate incentives for Fortune 500 corporations as well as special family and social gatherings. Other guests include celebrities out for an unusual afternoon or evening activity and buyers looking for unique fashions for their boutiques. Attendees come from around the USA, the Far East, Europe, Canada and South America. People are buying tickets up to six months in advance. Tickets are available through the company website - www.usafashionshows.com - as well as through various ticket outlets worldwide.

Recent shows have featured collections by designers from a host of countries including Austria, South Africa, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Russia, Israel, Bulgaria, England, India, and the USA. Some already have their lines carried in exclusive stores like Bergdorf Goodman and chic boutiques on Madison Avenue as well as in other fashion capitals.

Portions of Champagne Fashion Brunch proceeds support children?s charity providing food, clean water, medical care and other assistance in poverty stricken countries around the world.
