Dear all,
Celebrate in style this Christmas with FashionCapital at the TCA’s Men Couture launch party!
One of FashionCapital’s top designers, TCA’S Men Couture, has secured the exclusive and premier London Gay venue “The Shadow Lounge” for the launch of their new label on 21st December 2011.
TCA’s Men Couture is all about bringing glamour and flamboyancy back into men’s fashion by blurring the lines between masculinity and femininity.
Teresa of TCA Men’s Couture says “We have spotted that no one caters for men who want to look fabulous but stylish and feel our collections are just what many men are looking for. We think the Shadow Lounge is the perfect venue to launch our label as like us they believe in giving men an unashamedly stylish, fashionable and sumptuous experience.”
Filipe Borne from the Shadow Lounge says “The Shadow Lounge is THE Premier gay members club in Europe and we pride ourselves on breaking new ground events. We are delighted to welcome the Teresa Cruz Almeida collection to our club on 21st December. This fashion event will bethe talk of London town!’
