NEW YORK, Apr 30, 2003/ FW/ --- If there is a designer who can translate the different
facets of a woman into clothes, it is Luca Orlandi.
Described as the 'quintessential American couturier' Luca Orlandi is a like a musical
maestro when he touches a fabric and makes them into clothes.
His designs are almost musical - the fabrics are the notes, the clothes are the musical
phrases and the woman is the song.
And like Bethooven whose music is powerful and expansive, yet soft and romantic, Luca Orlandi
treats his collection with the same masterful hand.
He can create strong, highly structured looks that emulate the power of elegant femininity.
Yet, he can also create a noveau femme fatale with lean cuts combined with luxurious black
fabrics.
The Luca Luca woman is a force to be reckoned yet - strong and elegant at the same time.
Just like Bethooven's masterpieces, she is desirable... a soft whisper that cannot be ignored.
For Fall 2003, Luca Orlandi showed these different facets of the modern woman.
From the body hugging catsuits to the soft subtle twist of androgynous eveningwear, from the
uniform inspired pant suit set to the hip-hugging mini-skirts, Luca Orlandi's fans can be the
woman she wants to be.
The Luca Luca Fall / Winter 2003 collection will be available at specialty stores this fall
and at Luca Luca shops in New York, Chicago, Bal Harbour, Palm Beach and Dallas.
