MEDIA RELEASE August 2006 Maria Cárdenas shows collection in New York Maria Cárdenas is showing her Spring Summer 2007 collection at Atelier during New York Fashion Market Week- 16-18 September, in the Doubletree Times Square. A third generation tailor, drawn to simple subtle lines, the Irish based Latina continues to develop her own shapes and signature. Maria offers jackets, kimonos, coats, shirts, tops, skirts, dresses, and trousers in the finest Irish Linens and woven silks, in a palette of White, Black, Oyster, Oatmeal, Siren Red, and Peak Grey. "Given the high design content of my garments and the use of only the very best raw materials and fabrics, the US market is an area I am keen to develop because the expectations for quality are so high." "It’s not the first time we’ve gone abroad. We visited New York and Boston last winter with a Belfast Creative Industries mission, Maria was in an Irish group juried for the prestigious Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show in 2004, and she was invited to exhibit individually in Boston and Seattle in 2006. We will continue with an innovative, high quality product, and go and get custom at the top end of the market. We are pleased to get support for this trade show from Invest Northern Ireland." Maria is an associate member of the Paris and New York based Masters of Linen, and a part of the Thimble fashion network in Belfast. She featured recently on the BBC’s Inside Out, with models showing off her garments against the backdrop of the looms in the Irish Linen Museum. http://www.mastersoflinen.com/marques/Mode/Maria+CardenasAtelier Designers offer creative international fashion collections of women's wear and accessories.
