Andres Aquino Presents a Collection of Charm and Romance at Couture Fashion Week

Fashion designer Andres Aquino will present his latest collection at Couture Fashion Week on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria on New York City's Park Avenue.

Mr. Aquino is also the founder and producer of Couture Fashion Week.

A continuation of Mr. Aquino's fashion journey, the latest innovative collection is inspired by classic romantic Latin songs and lyrics about beautiful women. The couture evening gowns and luxurious cocktail dresses are accessorized by a one-of-a-kind custom made handbag and shoe collection. Specially made jewelry by Alejandra in Design will complement many of the ensembles. Mr. Aquino coordinates all aspects of his fashion shows, from concept and styling to staging, music selection and creating the mood of the presentation.

The fashion show is part of Couture Fashion Week's support this season of the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. A representative of the charity whose mission is raising breast cancer awareness and support, will walk the runway in one of Mr. Aquino's couture gowns, resplendent in pink, the organization's signature color. A number of other celebrities and performers are expected to take part in the gala fashion show.

2010 has been a busy year for Andres Aquino. He has participated in a number of fashion events in cities around the world including Dubai, St Croix and New York. He also recently showed his designs at events in New Delhi, Palm Beach, the Dominican Republic, Romania and Mexico.

"Thinking outside the box makes fashion shows more exciting," says Mr. Aquino.
