INTERNATIONAL DESIGNERS GRACE NEW YORK’S CATWALK

(PRWEB) February 21, 2003

On February 6, 2003, USA International Fashion Shows introduced four fashion designers to the New York City market. The runway shows of Clive Rundle, Jorge Isaac, Fabrizio Celleri and Lourdes Atencio took place at the luxurious Manhattan Penthouse on Fifth Avenue before an audience of fashion buyers, a select group of VIPs and members of the international press representing publications from Japan, Germany, Argentina, the Dominican Republic and many other countries. As a direct result of their participation in the event, two of the designers are already in negotiation with one of the USA’s largest retailers. Photos, videos and slide presentations showcasing the fashion collections are now available to member of the press and buyers not present at the event.

A high level of cooperation was in evidence among the staff, designers, models, volunteers and producer of the shows. “At one point,” according to Andres Aquino, producer of the event, “it seemed that everyone — including the designers — were working with everyone else to make the shows a complete success. There is an incredibly high energy level,” Mr. Aquino noted. A number of members of the press expressed their enthusiasm about the shows. As one editor put it, “The USA International Fashion Shows are needed in New York to bring out fresh talent from other countries… it compliments the existing shows that we see during fashion week.”

The February show was just a taste of what will be the beginning of an international event of great magnitude in the fashion industry in the USA. A number of designers have already signed up for the September 2003 shows that promises to be the first truly international runway fashion event in New York City with the participation of designers from around the world.

The designers presented:

JORGE ISAAC. A native of Ecuador, this talented fashion designer was inspired early on by the natural beauty and color palette surrounding him. In 1991, Jorge moved to New York City to follow his dream of becoming a successful fashion designer. His premiere collection for Fall 2003 is a product of Jorge’s fashion sensibility and creativity in a mélange of pieces designed to complement a woman’s natural sensuality. “I believe that beauty lies within… Just give it a nudge to bring it forth…”

FABRIZIO CELLERI. A well-established, award-winning designer in his native Ecuador, Fabrizio Celleri is a former fashion consultant for TC Television and Ecuavisa. He opened his first boutique in Guayaquil in 1997. In 1998, Fabrizio was invited by the French consulate to present his collection along with students of the Ecole Bercole in Paris. He has presented his collections throughout South America, France and the United States. Fabrizio Celleri’s designs are sold at Oxygen and Nuriel in Miami, as well as through his New York showroom.

CLIVE RUNDLE. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in South Africa, Clive Rundle is an established South African designer. Drawn to fashion early in life, Clive studied his craft in Johannesburg. In 1986, he was invited to show a small collection at the Coer Des Beaux Arts in France with other young designers. Soon after, his label was hanging in more than 50 stores in South Africa and Clive decided to launch his own boutique. Clive Rundle’s collection is sponsored in part by world-renowned Swarovski crystals.

Clive attributes his primary influences to beauty, nature, complexity of construction, fabric, color, composition, art, sculpture and music. The essence of his designs is a complicated garment structure, which is an extension of his entire thought process. The language of form, line, color and texture is his means of communication.

LOURDES ATENCIO. A native of the Dominican Republic, Lourdes Atencio is a visionary designer with a sophisticated taste for fashion and the fine arts. Lourdes’s designs are progressive yet elegant, appealing to glamorous women of all ages. In 1991, Lourdes launched the Avant-Elite design label that caters to an exclusive clientele including top models, media personnel and socialites. Her designs have been featured on the Despierta America and Primer Impacto television programs. Aero Mar and Falcon Airlines have commissioned Lourdes to design their work and leisure uniforms.

Since 1995, Lourdes’s designs have been featured in numerous beauty pageants and fashion shows. Prestigious London publisher Co & Bear recently featured some of Lourdes’s stunning designs in the hefty coffee table book I Do: 100 Years of Wedding Fashion. Selected for their exquisite workmanship and innovative spin on traditional form, photos of Lourdes’s wedding gowns appear in the book along with those of top designers including Christian Dior, Betsey Johnson, Yves Saint Laurent and many others. For the new millennium, Lourdes Atencio (Avant-Elite Designs) and Peter of London Salons and Spa have entered into a strategic alliance to launch new designs for the woman of the new era: independent, progressive, educated and highly sophisticated.

The next series of shows are scheduled for September 7-10, 2003 in New York City. For the September 2003 event, USA International Fashion Shows will present the first International Fashion Designer Award to an established fashion designer who is distinguished by his/her creativity, accomplishments and contributions to social and business endeavors.

Negotiations are currently underway with a number of prominent companies in a variety of fields regarding sponsorship of the event. Many businesses are recognizing the valuable marketing potential of the event for their respective products and services, including travel-related services, cosmetics and hair care products, print publications, liquor and soft drinks, and fashion-related companies such as fabric, notion, jewelry and accessories businesses.

The event is an Andres Aquino production sponsored by Fashion Syndicate Press.

International Speaker and Leader in Education promotes Cultural Understanding of U.S. Latinos

(PRWEB) March 17, 2004

Redondo Beach, CA (PRWEB) March 17, 2004 –Dr. Refugio I. Rochin, the prestigious author, scholar, administrator, fundraiser, social scientist, and leader in higher education has been inducted to the Latino Speakers Bureau. Dr. Rochin is currently the Executive Director of SACNAS, the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Latinos and Native Americans in Science.

Described by his audiences with terms such as dynamic, personable and imaginative, Dr. Rochin has been a trailblazer in U.S. Latino studies and cultural affairs, with a career that clearly speaks of leadership in research and policy issues affecting Latinos. He was the first Director of the Smithsonian Center for Latino Initiatives, among many other achievements. He oversaw a variety of projects at the Smithsonian designed to increase awareness of the role and contributions of Latinos to the history and culture of the United States.

The biggest problem affecting the Latino community is the prevalence of bad information on Latino issues that cause negative stereotyping, he says. “I hope to bring awareness of the Latino community. I focus on the contributions, legacies and profiles of people in the Latino community in an effort to bring the issues more to the public. I think that just by doing that, stereotypes are broken down,” Rochin explains.

Dr. Rochin is well known for his publications and lectures on Latino contributions to U.S. history, economic development, culture, arts, music and science. He has also worked abroad on projects for rural reform and economic development. He was part of the Nobel Laureate Team of Dr. Norman Borlaug, recognized for the so-called “Green Revolution” in Asia. Dr. Rochin’s international experience includes the Peace Corps in Colombia, the Ford Foundation in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Colombia, and consulting in the West Bank and Gaza, Egypt, South Korea, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and the Caribbean. His list of publications includes more than 100 articles in books, magazines, and professional journals. Recent books include: The Mexicanization of Rural California, 1998, (with Allensworth), and Voices of a New Chicana/o History, 2000, (Edited with D. Valdes).

His keynote conferences in English will include: “U.S. Chicanos and Latinos in U.S. Society: A Historical Perspective”, “The Economics of Chicanos & Latinos in the U.S.”, “The Role and Contribution of Latinos to U.S. Culture”, “U.S. Latinos in the Arts & Culture”, “Latinos in Science: Opportunities & Challenges for the Future” and the much awaited conference that deals with the topic of his new book, “Latino Patriots in Defense of America: From the American Revolution to Afghanistan and Iraq.”

Dr. Rochin has been designated as one of “America’s Top 100 Influential Hispanics,” by Hispanic Business, Inc., and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Northeastern University, Boston in 2000. He is often quoted by the press on Latino issues and in 2002, was featured in the Latin American Times as Hispanic of the Week.

“The Latino Speakers Bureau continues its mission to unite internationally recognized Hispanic speakers who can share their knowledge through unique programs. We are honored to present Dr. Refugio Rochin as a Hispanic keynote speaker,” says Leonor McCall-Rodriguez, President of the Bureau.

For additional information, bookings, demo videos and speaker kits, contact Leonor McCall-Rodriguez.

Latino Speakers Bureau is a division of Mira Promo, a California Hispanic Marketing agency with 20 years experience in marketing in the US and Mexico. Latino Speakers Bureau is a trademark property of Mira Promo, Inc.

More than 100 Worldwide Artists Have Joined and Contributed to the international Call for Artistic Expressions Against War

Bogotá, Colombia (PRWEB) November 19, 2004

The International Call launched on July 30 by Colombian pianist and mathematician Jorge Hernan Pelaez, from his web page http://www.musicagainstwar.com, has received positive response, with artistic expressions and peace propositions from countries such as Argentina, Australia, Barbados, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Cyprus, DR Congo, Ecuador, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Kenya, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Spain, Sweden and USA.

Up to November 15, Canadian activist Sara Marlowe, with her antiwar expressions; soldiers Polo & Castaño from Colombian army, with their album “Dreams of a Soldier”; Northamerican musicians Matt Singer, Miss Kristin and Brian Harrison, each with their artwork; Colombian psychoanalyst Astrid Alvarez, with an essay about music and war; and New York singer Kimi Landen (also known as Angrychik), with two songs, have contributed among others. A total of 106 jobs have been received and are available on both web pages http://www.musicagainstwar.com and http://www.musicacontralaguerra.com (most of them come form students and independent artists).

The International Call remains open to worldwide activists, students, writers, scientists, artists, actors, musicians, filmmakers and celebrities to create an international movement of explicit and authentic expressions against any form of war.

Ideas, songs, photos, videos, letters, poems and any other proposals can be mailed to: info@musicagainstwar.com and during the rest of 2004, the artist will gather the best material and summarize it in a multimedia document that will be sent to United Nations, in an attempt to show the world an artistic and peaceful channel of protest against war. All artistic expressions received in a digital format will be uploaded on the website on a weekly recurring basis.

His personal peace proposition began one year ago with the composition and production of his first piano album “Music Against War”, written as a tribute to war victims. Specifically, the artist is donating 50% of the sales of his album to a non-profit organization, which will manage and control the funds, with the final objective of investing them in musical education for war victims.

As of today, with his Spanish version of the website http://www.musicacontralaguerra.com, and live concerts performed during 2003, Jorge Hernan has achieved enough sales to guarantee that Omar Diaz, an injured soldier of military forces, could begin musical studies at University Los Andes, in Bogotá, Colombia on August 2003. Donations were made to the non-profit organization Querido Soldado (Dear Soldier), which was created as a free web-based channel so civil society could write encouraging and supportive e-mails to Colombian soldiers http://www.queridosoldado.org.

Jorge Hernan Pelaez is a 32 year old mathematician and independent musician from Bogotá, Colombia, who writes his music through a Stochastic Musical Composition method, technique that combines mathematical formulas such as probabilistic and random series, with the art of creating music. For further details of the album and song sample visit http://www.musicagainstwar.com.

Deadline for Reception of proposals: December 31, 2004

Boston Cup 2006 International Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition Hosted by Rhythmic Dreams

Do You Speak "Socceranto"? Soccer Gets Its Own International Language

London, UK (PRWEB) June 14, 2006

The 32 countries competing in the World Cup speak 18 official languages between them–not including the local dialects many participants actually speak.

So, how are officials, players and managers meant to communicate? The answer is to adopt a shared international language. So argue the inventors of just such a language in a book published on Lulu (http://www.lulu.com), a website that lets anyone publish their own book.

“Socceranto: Birth Of A Language” (http://www.lulu.com/socceranto) is part dictionary and part phrasebook. It is the work of an international team of fans led by an Argentinian-American student and an English schoolboy.

“Things are all very well when, say, Ecuador plays Costa Rica or Ghana meets the USA”, says Ted Freedman, 16, the England fan who co-edited the book. “But what about when Japan plays Brazil or Ukraine meets Saudi Arabia?”

The name “Socceranto” comes from the word “soccer”–a 19th-century offshoot of the term, “Association Football”–and Esperanto, the language invented in 1887 by Ludwig Zamenhof, that is the best-known previous attempt to invent an international language.

“Soccer,” adds Ignacio van Gelderen, 21, Freedman’s co-editor, “has become the most international game in the world and the most globalized industry.”

Socceranto draws most on six core languages–those of each of the seven nations to have won the World Cup to date: Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Argentina and Uruguay), Italian, French, German and English.

It bases Socceranto words on both the names of famous players and on soccer slang and jargon, while also coining some brand new words:

maradona: n. a goal scored with illegal use of the hand. [Derivation: Diego Maradona who scored for Argentina against England in the 1986 World Cup by using his hand.]

muller: n. goalscorer. [Derivation: Gerd Muller, the great German striker of the 1970s, who remains top scorer in World Cup history, with 14 goals.]

fliegenfanger: n. a useless goalkeeper. [Derivation: German for flycatcher and so slang for a poor goalkeeper.]

rono n. a (non-Brazilian) player of Brazilian flair or skill; an honorary Brazilian.

[Derivation: Names of Brazil stars, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.]

“This is just the launch of a long-term project,” says van Gelderen. Or, as we say in Socceranto, it’s “early doors” (early in the game). We hope that Socceranto will develop in time into a richer, more international, more distinct and fully fledged language. “And that this World Cup will help.”

The books editors call on fans worldwide to help develop the language by contributing their own ideas to an online forum (http://www.lulu.com/soccerantodev).

SOCCERANTO WORDS AND SENTENCES EXAMPLES AND LISTS

FIVE TYPES OF KICK, PASS OR MOVE NAMED AFTER PLAYERS

ronaldinho: a no-look pass named after Brazils Ronaldinho, who is a master at finding a team-mate without apparently looking up.

kaka: a volley. Named after Kaka, the Brazil and AC Milan midfielder, famed for his superb volleying.]

zizou: a 360-degree, spin-turn. Named after Zinadine Zidane, alias Zizou, master of this kind of turn.

Arlington, MA (PRWEB) June 27, 2008

In an effort to expand beyond Europe and to uphold its mission to discover the best bicycling routes in the world, Ciclismo Classico, one of the country’s premier bicycle tour companies, has added three new regions to explore, giving travelers the opportunity to cycle during the fall and winter from October – March. For its 2008-2009 season, Ciclismo Classico has added Chile & Argentina, New Zealand and Vietnam.

“When we started 20 years ago, our focus was on Italy,” says Ciclismo founder and cycling enthusiast Lauren Hefferon. “Over the years we added France, Spain, New England and many others continuing our goal of offering an array of safe, healthy, fun vacations that span Europe and immerse our riders in the culture and cuisine of the country they’re visiting. Now, with the addition of three new continents to our trip menu, new and returning cyclists will experience touring the Ciclismo Classico way in places where the lands are ripe with discovery and the dollar goes a bit farther.”

The company, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, has put together these three new tours, all of which include local guides, a fully-outfitted bicycle rental, accommodations and meals, cultural excursions, travel planning and more:

Chile and Argentina – debuts October 25, 2008

Ciclismo’s South American tour is the only one of its kind and offers the option of an 8-day base trip or a 10-day extended trip. Riders will cycle nearly 200 miles of scenic mountain routes with the snow-capped Andes nearby. Along the way, you’ll get the chance to ride by the Seven Lakes, visit five national parks, take a hike to Petrohue Falls, stop at the Curarrehue Museum and soak in the Huife hot springs. The additional two days will feature a trip to Santiago and the Colchagua Valley, an exclusive discussion about Chilean wines with a local sommelier, three private winery visits, and a horse-drawn carriage ride through the Vina Viu Manent’s vineyard. The 8-day trip starts at $ 3.795/person. The two night post-trip extension is an additional $ 1,195.

New Zealand – debuts November 16, 2008

This itinerary offers the choice between the base 10-day trip and an extended 14-day stay. The nearly 300-mile journey on the South Island starts in Christchurch and continues along New Zealand’s west coast and through the Southern Alps. During the bike tour, guests will ride the TranzAlpine Train, one of the world’s greatest scenic railway journeys. In addition to great biking, guests will witness a jade carving demonstration, hike to the base of the Fox Glacier in Westland National Park, go sea kayaking, and even visit a sheep farm. The extended package includes an overnight cruise on Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound, the opportunity to ride an additional 100+ miles, a stay in Te Anau, a ride to the shores of Lake Wakatipu, and a steamship ride to Queenstown. The 10-day trip starts at $ 3,995/person. The optional four night post-trip extension is an additional $ 1,895.

Vietnam – debuts October 25, 2008

Hollywood Star GIANCARLO ESPOSITOs African Adventure At The Ion International Film Festival in the Delta State, Nigeria

(PRWEB) February 11, 2010

Giancarlo Esposito travels along with Daryl Hannah, to the ION FILM FESTIVAL in Port Harcourt, Delta, Nigeria . ESPOSITO, will be holding an exclusive Q and A session and Actors Workshop – THE ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD in London Spring 2010 and is currently available for interviews.

Giancarlo Esposito actor extraordinaire, recently completed filming “Rabbit Hole” with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart; he is also filming the 3rd TV Drama Series Breaking Bad. The distinguished actor of note has featured in numerous movies including “Derailed” with Clive Owen, “Twilight” (1998) with the late Paul Newman and Susan Sarandon, also classic Spike Lee movies “School dayz”; “Do the right thing”; “Mo’ Better Blues” and “Malcolm X”. On Television he has appeared in NYPD Blue, Homicide Life on the Street, The Practice, Ghost Whisperer, Law & Order and CSI Miami amongst several others.

In December 2009 he was an honorary guest in Nigeria, where he attended and hosted an exceptional Actors Workshop at The Ion Film International gala and festival which began 9th December going through to the 12th of December 2009. For Esposito the opportunity to visit Africa and share his knowledge with aspiring thespians was a truly fulfilling experience. He said, ” I started in the acting business at age 8, so I feel it`s my experience and social skills for example, how to be charismatic, how not to lose your temper – that have helped me the most to succeed. But I did develop a plan: I wanted to work with good people who had a passion for what they did. ”

The original decision to bring the event to Port Harcourt, Nigeria was the brainchild of Caterina Bortolussi and Soledad Grognett, two enterprising young women from Italy and Argentina, who fell in love with the country four years ago while visiting on business. As the creative director of the communications outfit Omcomm; Bortolussi is extremely passionate about changing in bred media misperceptions about Nigeria, and she found a willing accomplice in Port Harcourt’s progressive governor, His Excellency Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi. Bortolussi says. “We wanted to show people that Port Harcourt, Nigeria is not all they’ve been reading about, it’s not just a place of conflict. So when we were discussing this with the Governor he said, ‘Why don’t we use the film festival to celebrate peace through art?’ At that point, the ION film festival was looking for a new location, so it all just came together.”

Apart from Esposito other industry talent in attendance included actress Daryl Hannah, Parminder Vir OBE , Pras of the legendary Fugees, Nigeria next icon to be Nneka, Adnan Siddiqui Pakistani Super Star, Genevive Nnaji (main Nollywood Actress that also participated to the Oprah Winfrey Show), Stephanie Okereke, Kunle Afolayan, Ruth Nirere Shanel, Masumej Makhija, Agbani Darego (First African Miss World) and Catherine Ruelle.

The goals of IONIFF are to “Unite and bring peace for Film Makers & Film Lovers” which in turn has helped to improve the economics of the Rivers State, as well as benefit the community by contributing to film investment and education and to also collaborate with other artists and arts organizations.

The jury and audience award-winners of the 2009 ION International Film Festival were announced at the Festival’s closing Awards Ceremony hosted by the Rivers State Governor in Port Harcourt.

For a list of the winners please go to: http://www.ionfilmfest.com

It was truly a remarkable year for IONIFF in ways that were not fully predicted. The Festival opened with great enthusiasm and excitement together with genuine community support for such a momentous event in global Cinema, and in between showcased some of the best films and held some of the best seminars ever seen. People may ask how independent film has evolved in Nollywood , the answer is, quite simply, it’s better.

More than 80 films from around the world were screened, 30 of which were Nigerian. The festival featured music, events and workshops, including the acting workshop & session with world renowned American actor-director Esposito, who premiered his film “Gospel Hill”, at the Festival.

Other notable quotes from attendees included :

>Daryl Hannah “I read a report that said in 2003 that Nigerian People were named one of the happiest people on the planet, when you come here you can feel that the sort of joy of life. “

>Pras Michel – rapper -the Fugees, actor and producer “I had the honor to be part of ion film festival which made me feel like the prodigal son returning home. Being at Port Harcourt in the Delta with Nigerias next icon to be Nneka on stage in front of its delegates was truly inspiring….. this is just the beginning, the world will soon know “

> Ebele Okoye – Finalist and Film maker (Nigeria/Germany): “The festival was surreal , sort of “groovy” that made me feel like in a

trance…or a DREAM…..for the person to want to wake up or not…It was so good.”

> Esther Figueroa – Finalist and Film maker (Jamaica) ” I met so many lovely people and saw some really inspiring films, it was a once in a life time experience and I’m very grateful.”

Conill Wins Gold Lion At 2010 Cannes International Advertising Festival

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2010

Conill had a terrific showing at the 57th Annual Cannes International Advertising Festival held June 20-26, taking home a gold Lion in the Film category for its work for the Consulate General of Argentina in Los Angeles. The agency also earned Shortlist honors in the Media category for “Best Use of Television” for its non-traditional Toyota Camry advertising.

The gold-winning 30-second commercial titled Crying was among the most acclaimed of the festival, receiving thunderous applause during its screening. In it, a grief-stricken man agonizes alone after receiving a phone call. An epic musical score adds to the tension. It cuts to a new take on the scene, this time with the music replaced by the directors inspirational comments to the actor:

“Remember that we haven’t been Champions Since ’86″

“Brazil has won three more cups than us”

“And a few days ago we lost to Chile!”

The penultimate super reads, “A Bad Year For Our Futbol. A Good Year For Our Movies.”

Being behind the camera offers a unique perspective that most people never experience, said Conill Chief Creative Officer Pablo Buffagni. We used that perspective and took a playful spin on the director actor motivation process and it just clicked. The perfect and fortunate timing of having the World Cup happening gave the effort an added dimension.

Conills award-winning work can be seen at http://www.conill.com.

Maestro Cares seeks to offer assistance to orphaned and disadvantaged children while supporting social services and other development programs.

Im blessed to be a part of this project, said Anthony. There are millions of children suffering throughout Latin America. Maestro Cares seeks to make a positive impact in their lives. Im grateful to [co-founder] Henry Cardenas for his contributions to this initiative and we are both eager to get started. I hope Maestro Cares will inspire others to do the same.

Initial projects involve assisting in the development of orphanages in Puerto Rico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic by providing food, school supplies, dorm rooms, classrooms and clinics so that children are surrounded by a healthy environment for learning. By providing children with education, recreation and other development programs within an orphanage, Maestro Cares seeks to instill a culture that includes a strong work ethic, confidence, discipline and hope.

Our mission is to help Latin American children in creating healthy and safe environments, but a major priority is also supporting their academic needs, said Cardenas. Education is key for Maestro Cares because it will bring the children closer to their dreams. They are our future leaders.
