United Colors Of Fashion-Gala Soiree and International Fashion Spectacle

While fashion gurus from around the globe are in New York, the fashion capital of the world for the Spring 2012 Collections, United Colors of Fashion hosted their Gala Soiree and International Fashion Spectacle.

While fashion gurus from around the globe are in New York, the fashion capital of the world for the Spring 2012 Collections, United Colors of Fashion hosted their Gala Soiree and International Fashion Spectacle on Friday, September 9th, 2011, at The Pierre New York-A Taj Hotel.

The soiree was to benefit the UCOF Charity Care Program-Soweto Hospice, South Africa (www.unitedcolorsoffashion.com) and the Bisila Bokoko African Literacy Project (www.bbalp.org). Over 400 people attended the event. The organization recruited over 43 fashion students from FIT to work with them this season.

The five unique and tractioned fashion icons, which United Colors of Fashion has prudently selected from different parts of the world to come to NY for their collective show were: Amparo Chorda (Spain), Oliver Tolentino (Philippines, now LA-based), Louda Larrain (Russia, now NY-based), Eric Raisina (Cambodia), and David Tlale (South Africa). Each designer presented twelve looks for the show. The collections were amazing.

“The UCOF project is as much about the means as the end. Hence, It was imperative for us to select designers with a vision and that organic sense of craftsmanship. Each collection was very unique and fascinating. The soiree was at once a humbling experience and an elite event for our guests, which ranged from celebrated notables to people on the road to greatness. Everyone in attendance was somebody to watch going forward.” said Ciano Clerjuste, Chairman and President of UCOF.

Some of the celebrities who attended the event were: Grammy Award winning recording artist, Omarion; actress Anna Maria Perez de Tagle; Almudena Fernandez, the cast of the Russian Dolls, to name a few.

Stylist, Kimberly Garrett, fulfilled the role of Honorary Chair and Stylist for the Gala Soiree and International Fashion Spectacle.
