Nolcha Fashion Week: New York September 14 - 18 2009 held simultaneously with New York Fashion Week will be hosted at the iconic Bohemian National Hall in association with Czech Republic Consulate General, which includes more than 32,000 square feet of space. The landmark building will house runway shows in the magnificent ballroom, an accessory exhibition in the spacious delegate conference room, cocktail parties at the upscale bar as well fashion business seminars in the 70-seat state-of-the-art theater. The buildings refined combination of the classic and the modern with its preserved landmark faade will welcome guests into an environment of tasteful opulent decor as well as hi-tech equipment and surroundings. The building itself was often described as " the Waldorf -astoria of the Upper East Side," and now with more than $45 million dollars invested in its refurbishment and renovation it is now in glorious shape to serve as a cultural hotspot to New York audiences. I am excited about our partnership with Nolcha Fashion Week to host international fashion talent during New York fashion week, 'says Tomas Hart, Commercial Consul of the Czech Republic in New York. The Bohemian National Hall serves to showcase the best of what Czech Republic has to offer and is available for wide variety of culture, business and social gathering with or without Czech presence. We welcome all guests to enjoy the building and believe that not only Czech but other designers presented by Nolcha will find the place inspiring and supporting in reaching their goals. Fashion designer rka iov is proudly representing the Czech Republic at Nolcha Fashion Week: New York and will showcase her collection Planets on September 15th 2009. rka ikov is the only Czech fashion designer whose models have entered into permanent collection of the Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. In her designs, rka ikov follows her intuition and expresses her artistic feelings, her models are timeless and created to be worn mostly on special occasions. Applications from all over the world came flooding in once we revealed the beautiful Bohemian National Hall venue, comments Lynn Furge, Nolcha Creative Director. Nolcha Fashion week is going to be an eclectic mix of fabrics, shapes and styles representing some of the most fashion forward cities on the globe. The interesting part is that there seems to be a youthful exuberance of color and movement from designers whether they are creating eveningwear, ready-to-wear or even swim. Over 50 designers will showcase during Nolcha Fashion Week: New York and guests will enjoy an array of runway shows, presentations, exhibitions, cocktail parties, industry networking and more.

Frohne in the Renaissance Revival style and built in 1896, has been an important center for Czech and Slovak culture in New York City for more than one hundred years. It is a rare survivor of the social halls built in the nineteenth century for New York City's immigrant and ethnic communities, and a significant reminder of a major working-class ethnic enclave which once flourished in Yorkville; thus becoming a very visible representative of an important aspect of immigrant history in New York City and the United States. Since the beginning, the Hall has served as a focal point for its community, offering ethnic food, Czech language courses, Czech history classes and spaces for its large community meetings and various events. In 2001, ownership of the Bohemian National Hall was transferred from the Bohemian Benevolent & Literary Association (BBLA) to the government of the Czech Republic which reconstructed the building completely in the following years. The building now hosts Consulate General of the Czech Republic and promoter of Czech culture, government agency Czech Center New York. The BBLA has retained the entire third floor and is still gladly considered as an integral part of the whole building. After the grand re-opening in October 2008, the Bohemian National Hall has truly become a common space for organizing events and presenting not only Czech culture, trade and tourism to the Czechs living in the U.S. and the Americans but also it has become available for renting outside the Czech community for a variety of events ranging from cultural events and business meetings to movie screenings and private events. www.bohemiannationalhall.com
