2006
Champagne Fashion Brunch to be held at La Prima Donna restaurant
163
West 47th Street
in the heart of New York City’s Times Square and famous theater district. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. show starts at 1 p.m.

New York-based designer Andrea Katz has blended her quirky contemporary clothing and accessories line with her addiction to tango. The latest AKO (Andrea Katz Objects) line features clothing as architectural objects for the body. Attention to detail draws on the romanticism of the classic dance
designed to move fluidly on the body
yet not the typical tango slit-skirt look. As an artist
Ms. Katz says that she has never joined anything conventional
but tango demands the use of conventions. The dance may require it but what one wears on as well as off the dance floor certainly does not. Ms. Katz appropriately manufactures her handbags and leather clothing in Buenos Aires. “I am happy to support the Argentine economy
” the designer notes
“as Argentina has given me so much through this dance form.”

“Ms Katz is an artist on many levels and she brings her passion for tango and art to her fashion design
” says fashion show producer and company CEO Andres Aquino. “It is with great pleasure and excitement we bring her collection to our audience and the press.”

The talented designer’s unique creations will be presented along with La Prima Donna’s elegant and traditional Tuscan cuisine updated with Venetian style and modern urban panache making for a fabulous afternoon in New York City. “We expect a full house on March 12th
” continues Mr. Aquino
“with guests from Europe
Kentucky
Georgia
Texas
California and the tri-state area. These events are always an enjoyable experience where the audience can actually purchase what they see on the runway.”

Opportunities are available for sponsors and advertisers looking to reach an affluent fashion-conscious audience. They come for special occasions such as family reunions
birthdays and anniversaries
father-daughter outings
and wedding proposals. From the Far East to Europe to Canada and South America
the shows have generated a great deal of interest
and people are buying tickets up to six months in advance. Tickets are available through the company website http://www.usafashionshows.com as well as through various ticket outlets worldwide.

Each time you get ready for your office you have to look whether you have got the right neck tie with your outfit and how much does the knot suits your personality. You can’t ignore this fact that neck tie is the most perishable item in your wardrobe. It’s important that you take appropriate care of it so that it lasts longer.

General rules -
If you purchase three or more ties then it would be better as you would be able to wear them alternatively. This will save from damaging your tie that you would wear daily.

When you keep your tie in the wardrobe then you should hang it with the suit or outfit that goes with it by draping it around the collar of the coat.

While you wear the tie you should repeat the same tie after a gap of two or three days because this will prevent from unnecessary crease and wrinkles.

Storage rules –
Always keep your neck tie in tie hangers (usually seen in shops) because these hold a single tie and reduce the chance of wrinkles.

You should never leave the ties with knots as it will crease the fabric of the tie and make it unmanageable next time when you wear.

Each time you open up your wardrobe try to move the ties you have hanged up because this will prevent from unnecessary creases.

When you return back home after a days long work remember to take out your tie knot and hang it properly.

Check if your tie is of silk fabric then hang it otherwise in case of knitted ties you should lay it flat or roll up and keep in a drawer instead of hanging it. Roll the narrow end of the tie first and leave it for a day or two as this will remove most of the wrinkles.

Cleaning rules –
You should not give a tie away for dry cleaning because most of the cleaners remove the spots but at the same time they press the tie
in turn it compresses the lining and dulls the luster of the silk fabric. Never press your tie as this will diminish the overall appearance of the tie by making the “roll” at each edge a “crease”.

If you have water spots on your tie you can easily rub that small end with a same piece of fabric on the spot or gently scarp the surface with your fingernail.

If you got stains on the tie you just need to dip a clean cloth napkin in club soda and then dab away the stained portion.

For tough stains
you should apply steam from an iron taking care that the tie fabric doesn’t touches the iron or you can hold the tie over a boiling kettle and then use dry spot remover as per the instructions on the pack. For something even tougher you can use spot remover such as carbon tetrachloride.

To remove grease
you can sprinkle a little talcum powder on the spot and leave it to absorb. After some time you can brush off the residue with the help of clean soft cloth.

Untying rules –
When you untie your neck tie you should never slip the small end out of the knot which decreases its longevity.

Unknot your tie by taking it off by reversing it and never slip it over your head or remove it by pulling on the small end.

Never leave your tie unknotted when you remove them as it will cause permanent creases in the fabric.

Whether you're dressing for a medieval wedding or completing your Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) garb
medieval swords and daggers add just the right finishing touches to an outfit. Yet there are so many different types of weapons that it's sometimes hard to choose. Here is some information that will help you find just what you need.

Swords

When it comes to swords
the options are virtually endless. Whether you're outfitting your SCA armor or finding accessories for pirate costumes
it's important to recognize that some swords are constructed for appearance
while others are forged for combat. In other words
you need to know whether you want a sword that is purely decorative
or one that will be effective in competitions and exhibitions.

Beyond that
there are a number of distinctive sword styles. Scottish Claymore swords
for example
are both heavy and long
and are usually stored in sheaths and carried over the back. The Claymore was initially a straight
double-edged sword featuring a cross hilt with the guards turned downward
but is also the name used for a basket hilt sword with a single edge.

Japanese samurai swords
on the other hand
feature curved blades and grips that are wrapped in silk. Held in lacquered scabbards
both the katana and tachi are long and single-edged
while the wakizashi is a shorter sword.

When it comes to medieval swords
many people prefer legendary swords
designed after those carried by Joan of Arc
Richard the Lionhearted
Robin Hood
and others. Other people are inspired by mythic beings and fantasy warriors
and thus are drawn to fantasy swords
while those who want to be impeccable in their SCA armor choose accurate historical reproductions of swords that can cut through planks.

Daggers

When selecting daggers to complete your costumes
there's a wide variety from which to choose. For example
there are stilettos
which were carried by the upper class in the 17th century
and the main gauche
which was used in the Renaissance as a left-handed weapon to defend oneself and which features an ornate hilt guard. In addition
there are eating daggers
which typically incorporate black antler or white bone handles
and bodice daggers
which are sewn into the bodice or corset. English-style daggers usually have a blade length of about ten inches
and often feature wire-wrapped handles.

Buying Swords and Daggers

When it comes to purchasing swords and daggers
it's best to find a source that has a wealth of experience in Renaissance costumes
pirate costumes
and medieval swords. The best selection and greatest knowledge base can be found online
most likely from a company that specializes in costumes and chivalry sports. There
you will find the best selection at all price points
ranging from economical decorative weaponry to authentic replicas of period pieces. These specialty sites often have a wealth of information
such as a Renaissance Faire finder and links to other resources
that will enable you to get the most enjoyment from your costumes and weaponry.
