Branch member Natasa Bolce attended first Slovenian Fashion Show in NYC and filed this report:

On the 16th of October Slovenian fashion designer Maja Ferme hosted the first independent fashion show held by any Slovenian designer in New York. Her collection, The Nymph, was displayed in The Midtown Loft on Fifth Avenue. A large group of people, mostly from fashion industry, and many Slovenian friends, gathered at 6 pm to see Ferme’s clothing line. Some magnificently designed dresses from her Spring-Summer 2007 collection were shown to the audience. The clothing line designed by Maja, could be described as ethereal and mystical; the clothing was made from natural materials, such as silk, chiffon, and satin and painted with light water colors.

I had a chance to talk to Maja after the show. She was very tired but full of enthusiasm. The working visit to New York was demanding for this young designer from Velenje. But she said that she loved every minute of her visit and is very excited to be able to have this great opportunity to show her fashion line in this one of a kind city in the world.
