CARMEN MARC VALVO PRESENTS
HIS PREMIER FUR COLLECTION
DURING NEW YORK FUR FASHION WEEK
New York, NY (Jun.
13, 2006) Carmen Marc Valvo debuts his first
full fur collection during FICA's New York Fur Fashion
Week. Although Carmen has been experimenting with fur
since his Fall 2003 collection this marks the designer's
first full collection of fur pieces.
Carmen's fur collection consists of boleros, shrugs,
cropped jackets, car coats, strollers and accessories
utilizing silky karakul, sheared mink, Russian sable
and chinchilla. His most unique looks are achieved by
using a combination of silky karakul and sheared mink,
knit cashmere with mink, and embellishments of beaded
lace and embroidery. Carmen's sophisticated color palette
includes pure ivories and rich cognacs to deep hued blues
and a delicious persimmon. Carmen's fur collection
is created in association with Tasos Karagunis of Funtastic
Furs.
Since 1989, when Carmen launched his own label with
only a few thousand dollars, his devoted followers have
embraced his conscience efforts to create beautiful clothing
with an expert fit and glamorous style.
Having established a solid reputation with his Collection
line, Valvo launched Carmen Marc Valvo Couture in 1998
in response to demand from his celebrity and VIP clients
who wanted original Carmen Marc Valvo creations that
would set them apart from the fashion pack. The couture
collection is presented twice a year during the New York
Fashion Week. These lavish presentations highlight the
extraordinary craftsmanship and painstaking hand-detailing
that place the couture collection in a league of its
own. The world of Carmen Marc Valvo also includes swimwear,
shoes, and limited-edition fine jewelry designs.
Although his sumptuous creations have made him a favorite
among celebrities, it's his devotion to his non-celeb
clients that have made him a star. TIME Magazine stood
up and took notice of Carmen after his Fall 2005 collection
in a feature story saying "While other designers
seek to shock, Valvo's creations shine in the marketplace."
It is Valvo's superb tailoring, understanding of fit
issues and masterful detailing that have distinguished
him from his peers. Women's Wear Daily perhaps said it
best: "Over the years, the designer has demonstrated
the talent to do it all."
