Designer Andrea Katzs tangoinspired 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 Citys Times Square and famous theater district. Doors open at 1230 p.m. show starts at 1 p.m.

New Yorkbased 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 slitskirt 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 designers unique creations will be presented along with La Prima Donnas 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 tristate 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 fashionconscious audience. They come for special occasions such as family reunions, birthdays and anniversaries, fatherdaughter 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 httpwww.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 childrens charity helping to provide food, clean water, medical care and other assistance in poverty stricken countries around the world.

Producer Andres Aquino is CEO of USA International Fashion Shows and Fashion Syndicate Press, founded in 1997. He is also the founder and creator of New York’s Couture Fashion Week and Bridal Fashion Week, attracting fashion and accessories designers from around the world.

Jewelry cases or otherwise known as jewelry boxes are important because they safely store our precious jewelries. A typical jewelry case is usually rectangular in shape though we can find them in a variety of shapes nowadays. It may or may not have a mirror on the inside of its upper lid. The lower half is usually made up of specialized compartments or trays to store different types of jewelry like necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings, bangles, etc. The interior is usually lined with velvet and it has either a clasp with lock, numbered combination or any other form of lock to ensure the safety of the contents.

Jewelry cases come in a variety of colors usually in simply shades. Others are even designed with beautifully crafted embellishments. There are new ones and vintage ones as well. There are different box styles for women, men and even children. Little girls just love jewelry cases with music boxes and ballerinas dancing inside when the case is being opened. Other styles for adult women even look like little cupboards that are tall with stacked drawers to properly organize your stones and gems.

While it may be true that a jewelry case will definitely safely store your jewelry it is important to note that you also have to properly take care of them to preserve its value. You should store your jewelry inside jewelry boxes or cases that are lined with a soft material to avoid it from being scratched. If you store them in boxes without lining the tendency is for it to be damaged against the impact of a hard surface. You can substitute a jewelry case with soft fabric pouches. It is importantly that you store them separately to avoid scratches. This is the reason for the compartments. Keep it away from heat and moisture that may damage some stones. It is best that you buy jewelry cases with locks for added security.

It is ideal to have your jewelry professionally cleaned at least once a year. Avoid it from being exposed to perfumes or cosmetics that can sometimes cause discoloration. When you travel always carry with you your jewelry cases in your handbag or carry on luggage and not in your suitcases.

We believe that the purchase of good jewelries is a good investment. To protect your investment properly take care of them and store it safely for you to enjoy them for many years to come.
