On Sunday September 13, at 6 PM at The Scandinavia House 58 Park Avenue in New York City. Karen Sabag will show her Spring 2010 evening gown collection. This season she draws her inspiration from the elegant narrow streets and walls in Barcelona. Karen  has captured the brilliance of the marble and stones in the street, using natural colors and some pastels of light pink, mint green, with accents of silver and gold “My gowns this season are sexy and fun yet elegant at the same time.” Karen said.

As in all her collections Ms. Sabag uses only the finest fabrics, many of the gowns are made of 100% Italian and French Solstice lace. They are intricately worked with crochet, embroideries, and or embellished with fine hand beading. Many of the creations are adorned with Swarovski crystal or pearls and some are delicately intertwined in metallic silver or gold threads. A signature of a Karen Sabag bridal gown is corsetry. Her hand worked corsets add a glamorous sultry component to a woman’s body by putting emphasis in the right places.

In 2007 while still an undergraduate at FIT Karen won the prestigious first prize in The Kleinfeld-FIT Bridal Contest. She was competing against 800 other entrants. She also won best in show at The Supima Fashion Competition for Emerging Designers in January. Her winning design was an exquisite wedding gown made of Albini shirting. The fabric company was so impressed that they have taken the gown to Milan to exhibit at their fabric shows.

In October she will unveil her 2010 Bridal Collection at The Intercontinental Hotel as one of the participants in The Wedding Channel Bridal Couture Show.

You can purchase her gowns at her store on Ocean Parkway Brooklyn. Her bridal gowns are also available at Kleinfeld Bridal Salon in New York City.
