Argentinean Designer Maria Pryor to Show Romantic Collection at Couture Fashion Week
Award-winning Argentinean fashion designer Maria Pryor will present her latest collection of inspired creations at Couture Fashion Week in New York City. The highly anticipated fashion show will be held on Saturday, September 8, 2007 in the Garden Atrium of the elegant Westin Times Square Hotel.
Maria Pryor's passion for fashion developed during her childhood when she would often accompany her father to Buenos Aires's famous Colón Theater, where he frequently sang. She went on to study fine arts and fashion design at the famed Istituto Marangoni in Milan, Italy. Her unique signature style blends romanticism with a fairy world in a magical union of fantasy and mystery, the ancient and the modern.
Ms. Pryor has received numerous awards for her work including Best Fashion Show at Miami Fashion Week (2001) presented by E! Entertainment Channel, Silver Scissors Awards for Best Original Design (2001) and for Best Pre-Couture Collection (2000), Moet & Chandon Award for Best Designer (1999) and the Modex Award for cutting edge design (1998). She has shown her designs at numerous fashion shows including Buenos Aires and Miami Fashion Weeks, and is well-established as a major designer in the Argentine capital where she is a favorite of many celebrities and socialites including Natalia Oreiro and Florencia Peña who asked Ms. Pryor to design her wedding gown. Her designs have been featured in top magazines including Vanidades, Collezioni and Live Miami.
In contrast to many of her past collections that featured a rich color palette in subtle and harmonious combinations, Maria Pryor's Spring/Summer 2008 collection will be dominated by monochromatic creations with exquisite textures and hand worked details. Delicate lines and soft, almost Renaissance silhouettes, unite the past and present through the designer's unique romantic and feminine vision.
