Michael Angel set to open Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Thursday, September 10
The Australian designer and our good friend, is debuting his 5th runway collection in the opening show of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at 9 a.m. on Thursday, September 10.
Angel began his career as creative supervisor for SABA (top Australian Dept. store), before becoming Style Director of Melbourne Fashion Week and the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival as well as central figure on Australia’s Next Top Model. Since launching his ready-to-wear for Spring 2008, he has received praise, acclaim and plenty of column inches everywhere from American Vogue to V magazine. Angel continues to attract celebrity fans and top models; his show will feature the designer’s close friend–fellow Aussie Nicole Trunfio.
Michael is one of those rising stars who’s energy is captivating. He and his partner Christopher Katke (himself an extraoridinarily talented and increasingly in demand photographer) stand out as representatives of NNY (new New York) - the city that is already showing signs that it will flourish through it’s breaking of new talent and creativity once again.
We couldn’t be happier that he’s going to be the opening show of the week and whilst those that know him, saw an inevitability to his rise, it’s always nice when you are proved right. Go Michael!
