Barcelona, Spain - The Catalan designer Toni Francesc has been chosen by the organizers of the "Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week" to stage a fashion show at its next edition, which is due to take place between 10th and 17th September 2009.

Toni Francesc will present his Spring-Summer 2010 Collection at 9.00 p.m. on Tuesday 15th September, closing the fashion parades program for the day. This event will take place in Bryant Park, the official venue for the staging of the fashion shows that form part of "MERCEDES BENZ NEW YORK FASHION WEEK". New York Fashion Week, which origins date back to the first "Fashion Press Days" organized in the Big Apple back in 1943, is one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world, habitually featuring the participation of many great figures within the world of fashion design, such as Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Carolina Herrera, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Narciso Rodríguez, Hervé Léger and many other international designers.

In addition to having taken part at the fashion show organized as part of MADRID CIBELES FASHION WEEK last February, Toni Francesc's participation at a number of international fashion shows bears witness to this designer's meteoric rise over the last two years. Although his collection was presented at the CYBERPOT CENTER in HONG KONG in January 2006, it is in Mexico where the designer has established his main international market, being a frequent participant at FASHION WEEK in MEXICO, where he has presented his designs each season since October 2006. Furthermore, the Catalan designer presented fashion parades in September 2008 and March 2009 at the most important fashion event in Russia, RUSSIAN FASHION WEEK in Moscow.

In this respect, Toni Francesc is continually opening up the foreign markets for the world of Spanish design. Together with all the international fashion shows at which he has presented his cutting-edge ideas, the presentation of Toni Francesc's collection within the official program at "MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK" in New York undoubtedly promises considerable success for the Catalan designer, as well as for the world of Spanish fashion design in general. ...
