V-Me Presents New York Fashion Week Special

“The annual Fashion Week celebration of spring and summer designer clothing has arrived, with the collections and confections from some 200 established tastemakers as well as edgy newcomers on display on catwalks and at exhibition halls throughout this clothes-crazed city. The week’s shows unfold with an eye on luring couture-conscious buyers before they hit the European circuit next month.

Who better to guide you on an in-depth exploration of the week’s events and the world of high fashion from a Latino perspective, than model, Vanidades spokesperson and former Miss Universe Barbara Palacios. The fashion and lifestyle maven will guest host Viva Voz, V-me’s signature nightly program of timely interviews, news and conversations, as it covers the Spring 2008 runway shows of designers such as Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Narciso Rodriguez and many more.

Learn through the eyes of Spanish designers Custo Barcelona and David Rodriguez what it’s like to produce and prepare for this yearly event. Learn what stylists, make-up artists and models do behind the scenes, and find out how Latin American countries contribute to the industry as producers and consumers. What do Latinos like and why? Find that out and much more on two Viva Voz specials airing on September 20th and 21st.

V-me’s primetime original program, Viva Voz is a nightly destination for anyone who needs to speak or listen to America’s Latino community. With provocative conversations that cut across family, home, politics, international affairs and entertainment. The guest list spans Nobel Prize winners, Grammy winners and Oscar nominees, presidents, poets and all-star athletes – all revealing new facets of their lives and work.
