New York?s Swiss?tel to Host American Launch of Vionie Spring / Summer Line at Fashion Week
New York (ContentDesk) September 14, 2005 -- Vionie Fashions will be arriving at the Swiss?tel "The Drake" for New York's Fashion Week on Sunday, September 18-20, 2005 at the celebrated American + International Designers Fashion Show. Vionie, a German company founded in 2002, has generated interest worldwide ? from boutique shops in Italy to fine apparel shops in Paris ? and now is prepared to unveil their Spring / Summer line to American buyers. Lead designer Heike B?rkle, says that her line, "is inspired by nautical cruising colors" as well as by her numerous visits to the French and Italian Riviera. "We learned that many American buyers stumbled on our lines in Europe and asked if we had American distribution. This proved our marketability in the United States.
Now as a successful European line we are equipped to fulfill American orders", remarked B?rkle.What makes a Vionie design unique and confident that American women and New York fashion week buyers will purchase their line items is not only the variety of innovative styles but the beauty and cut of the feminine fabrics ? cashmere, leather, mink, silk, softened wool, and velvet. As Ms. B?rkle states, her fashions are "unapologetically feminine" and her fabrics "sumptuous". Each garment is hand-crafted with quality assurance in Europe and each item is realized with proper attention to detail in true sizes (not to mention slimming hand tailored cuts).Vionie Fashion's Spring/ Summer apparel collection being showcased during New York's Fashiom Week -- jackets, suits and dresses -- can be described as sporty, elegant coordinates for classy yet playful women.
Unlined jackets are combined with transparent silk dresses and pleated skirts.
Feminine lines blend and contrast with crisp shape-flattering business suits in Italian cashmere with leather details.
"My line is understated, yet provocative, worn by debutantes, up-towners, socialites, and independent woman alike. My line is quintessentially feminine", says B?rkle.What's refreshing about Vivone's style is her innate ability to create new classics. Her line items though trendy do not wear like trends ? they wear like the classic staples every woman wants / needs in her closet to attract the proper amount of style approval. Vionie also designs for private clients."I would like to be known as an avant elite designer who makes a woman feel powerfully feminine," remarks Ms.
B?rkle. Fashion week is a singular and extraordinary opportunity for media and buyers to meet face to face with Ms. B?rkle.

To Waiver or not to Waiver
Waiver RequirementsMost Participant Liability Insurance Policies now require that participants sign waivers. These waivers vary from policy to policy, and their legal implications vary jurisdiction to jurisdiction and case by case. If the participant is a minor, a parent or legal guardian must sign the waiver. Generally, waivers are used when there is a risk of being held responsible for something that should not be your responsibility. In the case of sports, it is a known that accidents do happen.All participants, parents and legal guardians know this prior to registering.
The waiver is primarily a proof that the participant acknowledges, understands and accepts this risk, and as a consequence has waived the right to hold the sports organization responsible should an accident occur.Are you really waiving anything?The legal implications of waivers can be somewhat different. As liability suits generally take place in state or provincial courts much variance exists between the jurisdictions....
