Couture Fashion Nepal 2016 | EVENTS | M&S VMAG


With a career spanning well-over two decades, designer Andres Aquino has gone on to establish himself as a powerhouse in the world of fashion. The CEO of the celebrated Couture Fashion Week New York, Aquino has spread his wings to do shows in fashion hubs all over the world. A well-travelled designer, Aquino, among other A-lister events, has been a special guest at the reputed India International Fashion Week. Now in Kathmandu, for this weekend’s ‘The Kathmandu Post Presents Couture Fashion Nepal’, the multi-dimensional Aquino spoke about the highly-awaited fashion show, his first impressions of Nepal and his hope for the Nepali fashion industry. What about your designs? I have bought few of my designs here and I am looking forward to showcasing them in the fashion show on Saturday. I believe the show will signify sophistication. I was talking to someone here about the Pashminas in Kathmandu and I hope we could incorporate that in our international fashion shows. This way, Nepal will also find significant promotion abroad. We all know Nepal for its serene beauty and trekking destinations and having met so many talented people in the fashion industry already, they definitely do need some exposure globally as well. I heard a lot of things are handmade here and this is the start—start of couture. Source: The Kathmandu Post
