Mercedes-Benz Presents Designer
On February 13th at 11:00 am in the Promenade runway, New York designer Yigal Azrouel and this season's Mercedes-Benz Presents Designer debuted his Fall 2009 Collection. Since his brand launched in 1998, Azrouel continues to surprise fashion audiences with his fresh, modern designs that always feature luxurious fabrics, expert draping and feminine silhouettes. In 2000, Azrouel redefined his company with the launch of his first full menswear collection that reflects the refined, wearable aesthetic trademarked by the overall brand while simultaneously transforming American sportswear and day dressing for the modern man. "Yigal Azrouel is a great fit for this season's Mercedes-Benz Presents Designer title given his dedication to detail and the connection between his modern design and the sporty lines of the new GLK," added Holladay.
