The highly anticipated fashion show will be held on Sunday, September 9, 2007 in the Roof Ballroom of the world-famous St. Regis Hotel.
After graduating from the renowned SITAM Institute of Design in Padova, Italy, Ms. Bocci opened her own fashion atelier in Albania.
In 2001 she moved to the United States - what she calls "My Promised Land" - and quickly became known in the Detroit area for her impeccable fashion designs, selling to a discerning private clientele as well as to boutiques such as Alessandra Bridal, Janet Verner and Impulse.
Her designs have been featured in Detroit Hour, Style and Inside Weddings magazines, and she is a favorite designer of TV news anchors Lila Lazuras and Rhonda Walker.
Ms. Bocci has worked with a number of charities, including the Rhonda Walker Foundation and the North American International Auto Show's Charity Preview.
At the latter's recent event, the Detroit News named as Best Dressed "WDIV-TV Channel 4's Rhonda Walker's glam and sexy cranberry gown custom made by Shelby Township's Katerina Bocci."
She also designed the evening gown for a photo shoot by Fadil Berisha Studio in New York with Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera and Miss Albania Sadina Alla in the 2007 Miss Universe pageant.
At another recent photo shoot, singerFergie admired Ms. Bocci's work, so the designer presented the pop star with a beautiful gown to wear at an upcoming Hollywood event.
