NEW YORK /EWORLDWIRE/June 16, 2005
--- Dah-veese label will make its New York debut during
Couture Fashion Week in September 2005. The runway show
and after party will be held on Thursday, September 8
at 8:00 p.m. at West Side Loft, 336 West 37th Street (between
8th and 9th Avenues), New York City. The "Evolution"
collection for Spring/Summer 2006 by designer Darnell
(Jewell) Davis is edgy and creative, yet soft and contemporary
appealing to today's modern woman.
The dynamic Dah-veese designer combines
signature denim with unexpected fabric combinations: fine
silk organza, silk dupioni, silk taffeta, silk linen and
cotton with an emphasis on angles, dimension, depth and
texture.
The collection's color palette is inspired earth tones
-- from vibrant sun rays and sky blues to the darkness
of turned soil.
"The talent and tenacious spirit
of this creative young designer is truly inspiring,"
says producer Andres Aquino of USA International Fashion
Shows. "We are excited to be part of his entrance
onto the New York fashion scene."
Native New Yorker Darnell Davis began
designing hand stitched t-shirts as a means to support
his struggling music career. He created a 72 piece t-shirt
collection, hand sewing everything from the inner labels
to the raised felt chest logo. After working with a local
store in Delaware and seeing his collection sell out in
two weeks, Davis turned all his creative energies to fashion,
creating the Dah-veese label in 1995.
Consisting of one-of-a-kind apparel for
both men and women, the label's unique character came
from the designer's innovative use of denim with such
materials as silk, mink fur and snake skin and quickly
became a favorite on the local fashion scene.
While showing his wares at the Las Vegas
Magic Show in 2002, Davis met Belinda Harris. A former
beauty pageant winner and runner-up for Miss Pennsylvania,
Harris has almost a decade of modeling experience as well
as a degree in Broadcasting and Communications. Combining
their considerable talents, Davis and Harris launched
Dahveese Denim LLC in 2004 with a new vision and perspective
on the fashion industry.
Harris, securing the position of president
and partner in Dah-Veese Denim LLC, plays a major part
in the foundation, handling all aspects of the company.
Dah-veese recently launched the new website, www.Dahveese.com,
where all of their fashions can be viewed.
Working without pattern makers, cutters
or steamers, the design duo begins with 310 designs, refining
them down to 110 and eventually the final 30 set collection
takes shape.
According to Davis, "Our credo is
life imitates fashion and fashion is what you make it."
USA International Fashion Shows produces

featuring both national and international designers of

York City before audiences of VIPs, the international
