November 22 – It was a scene filled with the flash of cameras and shinning lights as fashion creatives and other industry professionals mingled while sipping on their favorite cocktails at the exclusive PH-D Rooftop Lounge in New York City's trendy meat packing district. Throngs of NYC's fashion elite filled the room in anxious anticipation of the Bikinis and Couture fashion presentation for S/S '14, Burkhaulter Couture (Stephanie Burkhalter) and Karo Swimwear (Kasia Roginska).  Synonymous for optimism, glamour and success, Burkhalter Couture is the brainchild of former model and Swiss native Stephanie Burkhalter. The line exudes modern elegance with chic appeal that women find irresistible. Her talent is second to none and is a nod to her design philosophy, "A Dress can change a life." As models strutted down the runway showcasing elegant silk dresses and open back satin gowns, you could see the painstaking details in every dress; hand sewn black sequins, jewels and flower details. Ladies and gentlemen this is what fashion dreams are made of.  Creating clothing for dolls in Krakow, Poland, as a child, Karo designer, Kasia Roginska was already grooming herself for success. Known for her bold approach and use of colors, all of Roginska's swimsuits are custom handmade bejeweled pieces that embody high-end glam. Karo Swimwear embodies the feel of the lux life - think St. Tropez with a swirl of the South Hamptons on a hot summer day and you know Karo means business. The collection featured zebra prints and blue and gold nautical inspired designs that were playful and appealing. Karo reminds you that girls just want to have fun! Special thanks to Bikini's and Couture sponsors NYC Fashion Runway for an evening of glamour and couture. The night was undoubtedly a success for designers Stephanie Burkhalter and Kasia Roginska who presented an extravaganza of fashion for every lifestyle.
