All the theater and drama of couture fashion was present at Couture Fashion Week New York in February 2009. The three- day spectacle was a parade of glamorous evening wear as well as innovative couture and luxury wear. The moods of the shows ran the gamut from theatrical to sensual, from whimsical to classic, from traditional to futuristic. Wall to wall enthusiastic audiences of top socialites, diplomats and editors from around the world flocked to the perennially elegant Waldorf-Astoria February 13-15, 2009 to enjoy couture and luxury fashion collections on the runway by designers from Lebanon, Russia, Romania, Dominican Republic, India, Australia, Egypt, Korea, Turkey, Japan and the USA. Performances by world class entertainers including cellist Gjilberta Gelaj, singer Lara Janine, the NTDTV Lion Dance Troupe, singer Najibah, Chinese zither artist Xianzi Ai and Chinese pipa artist April Zhu also enchanted attendees.

Launched in 2003, Couture Fashion Week has grown into a prestigious event recognized worldwide for its success in presenting stunning couture fashion shows in such upscale venues as the St. Regis, The Westin Times Square and the Waldorf-Astoria. Event founder and producer Andres Aquino (also an accomplished fashion designer in his own right) along with a talented team of top makeup and hair stylists, models and staff continue to make Couture Fashion Week “the” place to see and be seen during New York Fashion Week.
