Press Release Body = Presenting the latest designs by some of the most creative
couture bridal fashion and accessories designers from around the world, Bridal
Fashion Week is scheduled to be held April 22-25, 2006 and again in October 2006 in
New York City. The event will also include an array of vendor and sponsor exhibits.

Bridal Fashion Week is being coordinated by fashion producer Andres Aquino, the
creator of Couture Fashion Week, another series of upscale fashion shows presented
in New York and Palm Beach. Among the aspects unique to both of these events are
the participation of both national and international designers, the quality of the
designers' collections which are aimed at high-end consumers and the luxury boutique
market, and the fact that clients can meet directly with designers and their
representatives to discuss customized projects to meet the most demanding client's
needs and turn their dream gown into a reality be it a once-in-a-lifetime bridal
gown or a one-of-a-kind evening gown.

"A wedding gown is arguably the most important single dress in a woman's life,"
says producer Andres Aquino. "It is a dream come true for many women to be able to
meet and buy from a world-class fashion designer who can do for her what he or she
does for a princess or a movie star walking the red carpet. This is the caliber of
the designers we are bringing to Bridal Fashion Week -- a true couture event. We
strive to make each of our fashion events unique -- in the past we have put an
87-year old former fashion model on the runway fulfilling her lifelong dream; we
have had a 4-year old girl open a couture fashion show; we have used fashion shows
as a vehicle to raise money to feed a child in Africa; we have had celebrity
drop-ins -- always something different!"

Major bridal magazines have signed up to participate in Bridal Fashion Week and the
event has attracted the interest of top designers from a variety of countries
including the USA, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, Israel, and Lebanon. The
event is been promoted worldwide. All participating designers will be considered by
a panel of industry experts and VIPs for the International Couture Bridal Designer
of the Year Award.

A number of exclusive sponsorship options are available to companies engaged in
luxury, travel and related bridal products and services, ranging from banking to
jewelry. Information is available upon request for both exclusive and non-exclusive
placements including space in the event program, gift bags, displays, banners,
co-promotions, broadcasting rights, literature distribution, hospitality and
entertainment sponsorships rights, party sponsors, logos, event tickets, photo ops,
on-site sales rights, charity fund raisers, and many other creative marketing ideas.


"Couture is fashion at its best," notes producer Andres Aquino. "It represents a
fusion of fine art, skilled hand-tailoring and creativity. Without the limitation
of mass production concerns, the fashion designer can make a true artistic
statement." Couture Fashion served as the inspiration to create Bridal Fashion
Week focusing on couture bridal and evening wear. Previously during Couture
Fashion Week, JAMIL KHANSA of Lebanon was named "International Fashion Designer of
Year" for 2005. Mr. Khansa recently sold a couture gown for $1 million to a Middle
Eastern princess. The previous award recipient was famed Russian designer HELEN
YARMAK, who in 2003 showed $20 million worth of furs and jewelry at the season's
most lavish fashion show in New York City to an audience of top socialites and
VIPs.

Visionary fashion show producer Andres Aquino stages exciting runway fashion shows
year round featuring both designers of couture and finely tailored garments and
distinctive accessories. In addition to Couture Fashion Week, and Bridal Fashion
Week, regular events include the Champagne Fashion Brunch and Martini Fashion
Dinner series. Luxury fashion shows have been presented periodically at such
exclusive venues as Manhattan Motor Cars and Bruno's (New York City), the Maybach
salon at Mercedes-Benz (Greenwich, Connecticut), Art+ Gallery (Coral Gables,
Florida), Deco (Palm Beach) and Bistro Zenith (Boca Raton). Events are co-sponsored
by Fashion Syndicate Press, founded in 1997, and serving the press with photos and
feature articles covering fashion shows in all major fashion capitals. Its web site,
www.fashionshowroom.com is one of the most visited fashion portals on the Internet.
