Last month, Couture Fashion Week celebrated its 25th season with a three day fashion show extravaganza. The event took place at The Crowne Plaza Times Square Manhattan from February 10th to the 12th. Fashion designer, producer and artist Andres Aquino presented another series of runway shows exhibiting couture gowns from around the world. Over 20 fashion designers from Vietnam, India, Australia and many more countries participated. This article highlights three designers from the Friday February 10th shows.
Cory Couture by Vietnamese designer Cory Tran presented 13 beautifully crafted outfits. Twelve looks were formal gowns and one look consisted of shorts, a crop top and short sleeve matching jacket. Black was the base color of most outfits, with lots of yellow and graphics of birds stitched and added in jaw-dropping detail. American designer Rose Sharifi unveiled her eponymous label's "An Exotic Bloom" collection. There were six very feminine gowns covered with flower details. Most look light in weight and give off a carefree, joyous feeling.

The last show of the night was Cuero Design by Chilean fashion designer Paulina Cañas. Ms. Cañas showcased 12 contemporary womenswear outfits. She color coordinated garments makeup and accessories. For instance one model wore a red short skirt, red jacket, red lips, eye shadow and red earrings. Another model wore a sand colored skirt and top with blue jacket, blue lipstick, blue eye-shadow along with gold and blue earrings. The designer's use also of green, white, black & silver gives the impression she was very much influenced by nature and minerals.
