DALLAS, Jul 30, 2003/ FW/ --- "Being of an average or inferior quality" is the last definition of 'commercial' that needs to be discussed.

Again, if this the reason for the accusation given to New York as being commercial, once again, it is wrong and unfounded.

Lloyd Klein is a Los Angeles and Paris-based designer who shows in New York. He keeps two ateliers - one in Paris and one in Los Angeles. He studied architecture before he went to fashion and trained under Madame Gres in Paris.

Lloyd Klein has dressed Hollywood stars which include Halle Berry. He has been nominated at the Fashion Group International as a 'Rising Star.'

His designs and the apparel his ateliers produce are of high quality, NOT inferior nor average.

There is also New York-based Luca Orlandi whose attention to details is incredible. Other New York based designers such as Zang Toi and Carmen Marc Valvo are being supported by Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, respectively. Their designs are sold in these stores renowned for selling only 'high quality merchandise.'

This page can be filled with names of designers who are successful, though they are not in the league yet of Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Donna Karan in the size of their fashion empires.

Lloyd Klein, Luca Orlandi, Zang Toi and Carmen Marc Valvo have made their name in the industry and have a very loyal following.

To say that their work is 'of average or inferior quality' is wrong! Their clients, who come back season after season are the proof.

So where did the accusation 'New York Fashion Week is too commercial come from?"
