    Exclusive Interview with World Renowned Fashion Designer Dennis Basso at Spring /Summer Show -2024

    Exclusive Interview with World Renowned Fashion Designer Dennis Basso at Spring /Summer Show -2024

    Comments are closed

    Had the pleasure of interviewing legendary, World Renowned Fashion Designer Dennis Basso, at his Spring /Summer Show -2024. A little about Dennis Basso:

    In 1983, Mr. Basso was ready to launch his own business. He brought a new perspective to designing with fur… treating fur like a fluid fabric; lighter, with more sinuous silhouettes, and bolder in coloration and patterns.

    There was consistent press adulation and socially influential women, no matter their generation, sought out a Dennis Basso fur for their wardrobe.

    As his business grew, it was a natural evolution for Mr. Basso to design ready-to-wear. With his signature verve and attention to glamorous styling, the distinctive day and evening looks were a perfect complement to the furs.

    In 2002, Mr. Basso opened his first freestanding boutique, at the prestigious Little Nell Hotel in Aspen, which was followed by the 2003 opening of his original flagship on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. Dennis Basso collections were also expanding globally, with an in-store boutique at Harrods.

    Since 2007, Dennis Basso has been a closely watched presence on the runway at New York Fashion Week, drawing top media, NY tastemakers and Hollywood celebrities. Dennis Basso designs have been prominently seen on screen: worn by both Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones in “Chicago”; by Meryl Streep in “The Devil Wears Prada”, Nicole Kidman in “Nine”, and Charlize Theron in “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

    His designs have graced the red carpet on a bevy of celebrities: Hayden Panettiere, Emmy Rossum, Helen Mirren, Tyne Daly, Angela Bassett, Mary J. Blige, Catherine Zeta Jones, Brooke Sheilds, Sarah Rafferty, Naomi Campbell, Stephanie Seymour, Robin Roberts, Katie Couric and Olivia Palermo to name a few.

    Mr. Basso believes that women should have access to a quality, sophisticated wardrobe. With that in mind, two decades ago, he embarked on a major collaboration with QVC, presenting faux furs, ready-to-wear, and accessories, and, subsequently, a home collection. Dennis Basso’s most recent brand extension, in 2011, was the launch of an exclusive collection of bridal designs for the esteemed Kleinfeld Bridal salon in New York City.

    Last year, Dennis Basso opened a sleek new flagship located at 825 Madison Avenue in a landmark building. The five story townhouse is an expansive 10,500 square feet and presents, in pure Dennis Basso glamour, the designer’s extensive collections of furs, ready-to-wear, and accessories.

    Mr. Basso was educated at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. A respected voice and supporter of the fashion industry, he is a long-standing member of the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America. In 2013, Dennis Basso was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the Fashion Institute of Technology in recognition of his talent, vision, and business acumen.

    Hundreds of people were in attendance, to view Dennis basso’s Spring/Summer 2024, a couple seating next to me came all the way from Italy, to see his new line, and the wife went on to say, that she had picked a dress one of the models was wearing and will have her husband buy it for her for her anniversary. Dennis Basso, is truly an icon in the fashion world, a brilliant mind who can create anything in the fashion world.

    R’Bonney is an eco-friendly fashion designer, model, and sewing instructor based in Houston, TX, and New York City. She attributes her upbeat, optimistic outlook to a childhood immersed in the arts, sports, and travel. 

    ​R’Bonney first fell in love with fashion through her mother, who taught her how to sew and took her on adventures to thrift shops, where they would find pieces to upcycle with their own designs. As a teenager, she followed this passion to the University of North Texas, where she earned her degree in Fashion Design and Fibers. She combines her talent for design with caring for the environment in her own sustainable clothing line, R’Bonney Nola. 

    ​R’Bonney Nola supports and advocates for ethical practices in the fashion industry by using upcycled and sustainable textiles to transform discarded material into beautifully handmade garments – including the cape R’Bonney wore for the Miss Universe competition!

    ​R’Bonney is the lead sewing instructor at Magpies & Peacocks, a Houston-based nonprofit design house that is dedicated to using “Fashion as a force for good” through sustainability and community impact. They received a Gucci Changemaker grant for their work in transforming unwanted textiles and fabrics from landfills into new fashion collections. As part of their MAKR program, R’Bonney teaches sewing classes to women that have survived human trafficking and domestic violence, which helps them find sustainable careers. 

    ​As the first Filipino-American to win Miss Universe and Miss USA, much of her platform is about embracing your culture. She is a voice for Asian-Americans, opening the door for more diversity and representation in society. R’Bonney’s mission is to inspire women and young girls to achieve their goals while owning who they are.

Professionally, Harnaaz is an actor with two Punjabi LMS slated for release in 2022 and hopes to essay characters in LMS that break stereotypes that the world has of women.

    Her favorite actor is Priyanka Chopra, and she draws inspiration from her body of work. In her spare time, Harnaaz enjoys the company of friends, loves yoga, dancing, cooking, horse riding, and playing chess. She is a water baby and never misses a chance to jump into a pool to rejuvenate herself. She believes in the saying – “Great things happen to those who don’t stop believing, trying, learning, and being grateful.”

    Billionaire Real Estate’s Tycoon Larry Silverstein’s Keynote Speech at NYU’s Capital Markets Conf

    Billionaire Real Estate’s Tycoon Larry Silverstein’s Keynote Speech at NYU’s Capital Markets Conf

    Comments are closed

    At almost 91.5 years of age, Larry Silverstein is one of New York’s premier real estate investors and developers. Well known today throughout the world as the owner of the World Trade Center, Mr. Silverstein has been a notable Manhattan real estate developer for over 50 years. Today, he is the chairman of his company, Silverstein Properties.

    Born during the great depression, Larry started from humble beginnings in New York where he would grow up. After obtaining his college degree at NYU, he would marry his wife Klara. Together, they would raise three children.

    Son of a leasing broker, Larry was exposed to the business at a young age. With the demands of having to support a family, he took an entrepreneurial leap with his father from brokerage to commercial real estate development and investment.

    The risk paid off and after having delivered returns to his fellow investors, more projects ensued. His journey in real estate continued as he acquired, developed, rehabilitated and re-positioned commercial properties in Manhattan entirely on spec.

    Born in 1931, Larry Silverstein is the son of Harry Silverstein who was a classically trained pianist, but a commercial leasing broker by trade. Larry was raised and educated in New York. Larry and his sister grew up in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood until moving to the Washington Heights area.

    As his father was a classically trained pianist, Larry and his sister would attend the High School of Music and Art. Upon finishing high school, he continued his studies obtaining an undergraduate degree from New York University (NYU). After his college degree, Larry also attended law classes in the mornings at Brooklyn Law School while he worked in the afternoons as a leasing broker.

    In 1951, Larry would attend camp where he was tasked to wash the dishes. His boss in the kitchen was a young woman named Klara. After an invitation by her parents for dinner, the two would begin dating and eventually marry. They would have three children together.

    The path to the World Trade Center began in 1980 when the Port Authority offered the keystone site up for bid. Larry Silverstein would win the bid to lease the site upon which he would build 7 World Trade Center. Initially engineered for a 25,000 square foot floor plate, Mr. Silverstein knew the local tenants were attracted to larger floor plates that had twice as much square footage.

    Larry Silverstein would build 7 World Trade Center on spec with the larger floor plates desired by the larger tenants in the area. He was successful in leasing 1,000,000 square feet of space to Salomon Brothers. Equally important, he now had experience dealing with the Port Authority.

    When the Port Authority decided to divest itself from ownership of the World Trade Center, they approached several candidates to submit bids for the office towers. Vornado was initially the successful bidder, but relinquished their successful bid to Larry Silverstein who was more experienced in affairs with the Port Authority.

    Larry Silverstein, delivered his keynote speech at NYU Schack Institute of Real Estates 55th Annual Conference on Capital Markets in Real Estate on Tuesday December 6th 2022, at the Pierre hotel, New York City.

    An icon of sophistication and graceful style, Carolina Herrera is a fashion designer, known for a unique sense of dressing, as well as for designing apparel for First Ladies, like Michelle Obama and Jacqueline Onassis. New York Times defined her designing as being elegant and not fussy.

    Herrera was born in Venezuela, 1939 as María Carolina Josefina Pacanins y Niño to the former governor and air force official of Caracas, Guillermo Pacanins and María Cristina Niño Passios, her mother. Her family practiced discipline and this is the reason she is highly organized and uses time in a very efficient and effective way. In 2009, she became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

    She frequently met Bianca and .

    /7/”>Mick Jagger, and Andy Warhol at studio 54, this made her discover her approach towards fashion. In 1972, she appeared on the list of International Best Dressed and in 1980 she was nominated for its Hall of Fame. The same year, Diana Vreeland, a friend and Vogue editor, suggested Carolina Herrera to launch a clothing line. When she did, the collection was displayed not only in a friend’s house but at Martha’s boutique as well. Upon this success, she returned to her homeland from New York and raised funds for a formal launch of her line. It was in 1980 only that her first show took place featuring Iman, an upcoming supermodel. A year later, Herrera’s brand received media limelight in publications like Tatler, and Women’s Wear Daily.

    Her most notable clients have been Renée Zellweger, Duchess Diana de Melo and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. During the same decade, Carolina Herrera’s name was licensed by Puig, a perfume company from Spain, to develop and sell a line of fragrances. In 1995, Puig acquired her fashion company, retaining Herrera as the Creative Director. Then in 2008, the firm launched prêt-à-porter brand, CH Carolina Herrera. In 2011, Herrera’s daughters began participating in their mother’s business. Since 2012, eighteen official stores of her brands have been opened around the world and her collection has been shelved with 280 shops in 104 countries.

    For her achievements in fashion designing, Herrera received many awards, such as a Queen Sofía Spanish Institute Gold Medal, 1997; Gold Medal for Fine Arts by King Don Juan Carlos I, 2002; award for Womenswear Designer of the Year, 2004; Council of Fashion Designers of America presented her with a Lifetime Achievement Award, 2008; and in 2012 she received the Style Awards Designer of the year, and Fashion Group International Superstar Award.
