In a much anticipated follow up to her stunning 2007 USA debut fashion show, accomplished Kuwaiti fashion designer Haya Al Houti will present her latest collection of sublime couture creations on Saturday February 9, 2008 in the ballroom of the elegant Westin Times Square in New York City. Part of Couture Fashion Week, Ms. Al Houti's show promises to be a dazzling spectacle.

A prominent designer in her native country, Ms. Al Houti established her fashion house in 2002 and has since  become recognized for her exquisite bridal and evening gowns.  Her clientele includes an array of Saudi Arabian and Qatarian princesses as well as prestigious dignitaries, socialites and VIPs throughout the Middle East. Her creations are breathtaking combinations of the finest satins, silks, taffeta, chiffon, organza, tulle and lace with rich beading and jeweled embellishments.

Along with her staff of more than 25 talented and skilled employees, Ms. Al Houti prides herself on creating not just beautiful fashions, but also "Art from the Heart" - designs that transcend fabric and thread and touch the wearer's inner spirit.

In a recent interview with Kuwait Times, Haya Al Houti spoke about how working on fashion shows is a unique and special experience. "When thinking about a fashion show I don't just present a group of nice dresses. I am always keen on presenting something new, different and outstanding," she pointed out. "I love presenting dresses with strange but simple ideas, that represent my identity and personality, so people would know that these are my designs," she added.

"Haya's debut with us last year was a truly fabulous and impressive show," says producer Andres Aquino. "Her meticulous attention to detail and creative imagination make her designs unique."
