THE COUTURE FASHION SHOW IS IN HOUSTON!

SOURCE:  Cision

On October 9th, 2014, Houston Fashion Week® and Texas Model Management will bring ‘THE COUTURE FASHION SHOW’ at the JW Marriott Hotel Galleria in Houston, Texas from 7 to 10 pm.  A black tie event, the Couture Fashion Show, is a highly anticipated luxurious fashion event with a VIP experience.  Fashion designers include Robert Benson from Austin, Andrew Dayton, TeKay Designs by Kimma Wreh and designer selections from H. Harloquin Boutique. Additionally, there will be a special presentation: ‘Fashion For a Good Cause’ and guests will have access to bid at the silent auction consisting of high-end products benefiting the National Spinal Cord Injury Association Houston, a non-profit organization.

The proceeds from the auction will support ongoing programs through the National Spinal Cord Injury Association Houston, designed to empower those in our community affected by paralysis as a result of a spinal cord injury or disease.  These programs are part of a larger vision to build ‘The Triumph Center’:  the nation’s first, fully comprehensive, SCI-focused health and community center.  The Triumph Center will serve as ‘the hub’ for spinal cord injury and disease education, fitness, research, community recreation and support. The National Spinal Cord Injury Association Houston has served the Houston Spinal Cord Community well through education, outreach, community integration, and advocacy. 

Guest celebrities will include Miss Houston 2014 – Ligia De Uriarte, Miss Houston Teen – Kirby Lindley, Miss. Oklahoma – Alex Eppler, and Miss Texas Teen – Taylor Drennan.  The hosts of this group are representatives of this noble organization and include:  Ms. Wheelchair Texas 2014 Runner Up – Meena Dhanjal Outlaw, Ms. Wheelchair Texas 2014 Ambassador – Deborah Carpenter and Whitney Montgomery – Mrs. Texas International. 

Texas designers presented and introduced a preview of their 2015 collections in New York during the ‘New Wave evolves to couture tour’.  This was shown during New York Fashion Week in September 2014 under leadership of Director/Producer Victor Quinteros Marquina who has succeeded in taking Texas to a more competitive level in the fashion world.  The full collections will be available during Houston Fashion Week® in October 2014.

For those that have requested a more in-depth export compliance course offering, this is it. This inaugural Strategic Trade Compliance Symposium is a two day program dedicated to bringing the business community up-to-speed on the latest initiatives underway in export compliance from a wide variety of U.S. Government experts, including the latest developments in the Export Control Reform initiative.

During the two-day program, you will learn first-hand from senior U.S. Government officials about the elements of an effective export compliance program as well as the current issues and trends in export control policies, regulations, enforcement, legal and practices. Both days will include networking opportunities, offering you the chance to mingle and discuss issues of concern with BIS presenters, other federal agencies, and fellow participants.

The instructors are experienced export compliance specialists from BIS’ Washington, D.C. headquarters. In addition, representatives from the Bureau of the Census, Department of Treasury Foreign Assets Control Office, Office of Export Enforcement, Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection have been invited to present.
