New York designer B. Michael’s has a sophisticated edge on fashion - which is purely exquisite

New York - Today I was kindly introduced to the B. Michael?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Couture collection. This hip, stylish, and kingly designer out of New York sure has his teeth in the big apple. I was keenly amazed by the beauty of his couture collection. Especially his Signature Fall 2008 Collection.

The designs were full flowing, with black ensembles accentuated with contouring designs. And black skirts amazingly splashed with mustard. Moving on to the more exotic features of red jackets, cleverly showing buttons featured on the back. To beautifully designed trousers and floor length skirts. The materials glowing in silver and gold metallic materials, were beautifully laced with patterns of large flowers. The collection keenly moved onto evening gowns. Featuring reds, cobalt blues, and whites. Michael’s has touched on the exotic and transcended it to the sophisticate. Certainly a collection to keep your eyes on in the near future. Especially with his Spring 2009 Collection being featured at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, Friday September 5th. I will most certainly be keeping tabs on his latest collection.

The very exquisite venue for the runway presentation of B. Michael?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s advanced American couture, will reveal a story and ambiance of Mystery, Intrigue and Romance. B. Michael Couture is worn by very high profile socialites and celebrities. The loyal following consider the designer a well kept secret known only to the very elite wearers of American couture. The breath of the following extends to the award winning recording/film artist Beyonce to the legendary actress Cicely Tyson and Cate Blanchett.
