LEONID GUREVICH 2013 Fashion Show during NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

 Dear Guys and Girls!

September of 2012 has been ultimately and undeniably the most thrilling month of my life!

 I showed my TRIBUTE collection at the most gorgeous and historic venue in NYC, if not in the entire country: the Angel Orensanz Foundation, located on 172 Norfolk Street, New York, NY 10002. Aside from it being a stunning venue, what makes it all extra mind-blowing is knowing that Daphne Guinness filmed her fashion movie there, Sarah Jessica Parker got married there, Zac Posen had a fashion show there, and if all of that wasn't enough - Alexander McQueen himself showed his first American collection there.

This capsule collection of mine was a Tribute to Glamorous Chic of the golden yesteryear epitomized by cinematic royalty, the late actress Ludmila Gurchenko.
