New York Fashion Week is fast approaching and will be over in the wink of an eye. The energy in the city always picks up incredibly during this season. Anticipation of buyers, designers, models, stylists and those attending, participating and merely wishing theycould be a part of it all is thick and all abuzz.
Mercedes Benz hosts New York Fashion Week twice a year for the spring/summer collection and the fall collection for top trendsetting designers and those that are bursting into this industry. Usually, getting invites to these shows is an exclusive affair and unless you're in the know, a fashion editor, celebrity, designer or fashion professional, getting a ticket to see some of the hottest designers and their collection is like winning the lottery.
Adrian Alicea is a New York based designer that got his start in this industry over 20 years ago as a model and a dancer. After learning the ins and outs of this industry and making his way around the world walking the hottest catwalks for infamous international designers like Thierry Mugler, Valentino and John Paul Gaultier, he was inspired to take all that he was learning to an even higher level. He initially taught himself how to make his own unique dance outfits, which is where the design gene officially kicked in for Adrian. Soon thereafter, he partnered with Nico Urqiza to create the famous men's underwear line, "Nico & Adrian". Years later, he created his own solo line for men and women, "Adrian Alicea Haute Couture" and has been showcasing his collection during New York's fashion week ever since.
Having his designs featured on the cover of Vogue Italia with supermodel Linda Evangelista, dressing the hottest celebrities like Zoe Saldana, Daddy Yankee, Latina superstar Blanca Soto, Channing Tatum, Chingy, Aubrey O'Day and many more, he has risen to designer greatness in the fashion capital of the world.
Adrian's spring/summer 2013 fashion collection, "Hybrids of the Deep Blue Sea" will be shown at his biggest event thus far during Fashion Week on September 12, 2012 at 9 pm. Utilizing the landmark event space St. Bart's church to house this incredible event and the overwhelming response he has gotten from editors, buyers, celebrities and other attendees, Adrian is still opening his doors to the public for others to get the opportunity to experience the excitement and abundant energy that comes with attending an event of this magnitude.
Tickets are going fast, but to be front and center for this incredible event that truly is something you have to behold in order to believe, you can purchase your own ticket on Adrian's website and general admission starts at just $25. This is for a limited time only as the show is almost sold out and ticket sales will be closed soon. Bravo to Adrian for giving us ALL the opportunity to be a part of a fashion extravaganza as grand as this one.
