Turkish Fashion
This event featured couture fashion created by Turkish design students of the Ankara Olgunlasma Institute. By researching historical Turkish apparel, they translated this traditional approach into a modern silhouette. Consul General of Turkey, Mehmet Samsar, presented the second annual show on May 26, 2009.
Sixty couture garments inspired by the the Ottoman Empire, represented the culture of Turkey. Models wore garments featuring ornate traditional designs and hand-embroidered apparel. The show featured a range from traditional clothing to contemporary, and closed with a group of beautifully executed wedding gowns.

What a great way to showcase Japanese urban wear!
Shigoto Fashion is a Japanese company that features unique and comfortable Japanese apparel. Typical Japanese street wear such as Tabi boots, Tobi pants, T shirts, and Teko wristbands are designed and made in Japan.

Tibi Fall 2009
Designer Amy Smilovic instills a Russian fairytale’s “light-hearted moodiness” into Tibi’s Fall 2009 presentation. Ornate bird motifs and rich furs highlighted the collection while lavish use of gold trimming, which hinted of embroidery and brocade, kept off-shoulder folk dresses and jumpsuits refreshingly modern.
Expect solid citrus shades on flowy, asymmetrical sheaths and dusky hues on tailored outerwear. The theme is well captured with the dainty tsarina-inspired ruffle riding jacket and the long and lean Bolshevik wool coat. Large crystal chandelier earrings and traditional fur hats added an icy glamour.
Staple pieces include the stovepipe stretch wool pants and dark scooped tanks. There were a number dazzling looks with the boatneck Doystoevsky bloom sheath – a kaleidoscope of magenta blossoms in a teal pool – and the Enchanted Forest chiffon dress with gold beading. Other prints include purple and teal paisley, seen on tunics under fox furs, and the navy Firebird emblem.

CHOCHENG Fall 2009
Cho Cheng’s Fall 2009 presentation sings of Shanghai chic in the 1960s. Cheerful colors include turquoise, “cherry”, and “canary yellow”. There was heavy emphasis on luxurious suiting in the form of trim wool blazers with prim collars and French cuffs, velvet riding habits adorned with gold buttons, and jackets complete with satin lapels and lacy ruffles. The designer’s signature use of velvet is also seen in the cropped pleated pants and mini skirts. All looks were topped off with dapper blonde bobs, a chiseled appearance which brought an air of aristocracy.
The traditional qipao has also been translated into a more contemporary context, seen with the metallic tints and slinkier fit. Showstoppers include a series of “siren” gowns in champagne gold with sequins, baby pink complete with bow and train, and the white satin Sabrina gown. This statuesque silhouette was a vibrant throwback to old Hollywood glamour.
