On September 9, 2009 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, Keith Lissner and Kara Ackerman will host a night debuting the Spring 2010 demi-couture collection by KEITH LISSNER and the ready-to-wear collection KEITH BY KEITH LISSNER (in it's sophomore season).

Demi-couture fashion designer turned ready-to-wear designer, Keith Lissner, has been designing "timeless" dresses for [how many years] years. This season his delicate use of fabrics, sophisticated lines, bold colors and intense dedication to craftsmanship have created some of the most impeccably designed gowns of his career. His attention to detail is evident in the couture techniques utilized from strap to hem for both KEITH LISSNER and his bridge line KEITH BY KEITH LISSNER. Each season Lissner finds a point of inspiration varying from the Greek legend of Icarus, the history of the Royal Ballet and the punk legends of the 1970's. Ultimately the collection is defined by his youthful interpretation of "timeless style" and passionate dedication to craftsmanship.

Based in New York, Lissner's collection has captured the attention of the city's young social set, and his dresses are regularly worn out-and-about by some of New York's most notable influencers. Lissner's gowns are also frequently worn by a mix of accomplished performers, including Emmy Rossum, Taryn Manning, Janet Jackson and Natasha Beddingfield. These strong, talented artists exemplify the Keith Lissner woman; feminine, unique, and exuding a great sense of self.

Founded in 1998, Kara's jewelry has been worn by everyone from the countries most celebrated celebrities to the jet set socialites of the world.
