NEW YORK, Sep 4, 2003/ FW/ --- Vasseur-Esquivel, last season's winners of a grant from Ecco Domini will show their fourth collection at the Bryant venue of Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week.

The design duo who has been in the fashion forefront since they met at the renowed Studio Berçot in Paris in 1994 has impressed fashion editors and buyers alike since they showed their first collection.

Their label which was launched in 2001, is already being sold at Barneys New York, Bloomingdale’s, Ikram in Chicago and Jimmy’s in The Hamptons.

French native Thomas Vasseur, one-half of the design duo trained under fashion icons John Galliano, Alexander McQueen [at Givenchy], Thierry Mugler, Azzedine Alaďa and Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Equally impressive, Argentinan born, Gaba Esquivel went on to work with Michel Klein at Guy Laroche, Gilles Dufour at Chanel and held design positions at both Martine Sitbon and Balmain.

Their debut collection – Resort 2002 was well received by the fashion community and press alike as it reflected the sophistication of Paris with a bite of Buenos Aires flavor.

For Spring 2004, the design duo are still mum about the details of their collection. Be rest assured, it is something to look forward to at the tents on Sunday, September 14, 9PM at the Bryant.
