NIKON SPONSORS PROJECT RUNWAY'S DANIEL FRANCO AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
MELVILLE, NY —
As a worldwide leader in cutting-edge design, Nikon is poised to walk the catwalk at this year's New York Fashion Week. On September 11th at 3:00 PM, Nikon will act as the title sponsor for Daniel Franco's New York fashion debut at the Metropolitan Pavilion.
"This exclusive STYLELouge sponsorship is an opportunity for Nikon to create tremendous awareness and buzz among the fashion industry insiders, trendsetters and VIP's," said Lisa Baxt, senior communications manager, for Nikon, Inc. "We are constantly looking for new ways to venture into the world of style. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work with Daniel Franco, as he embodies the stunning style of the Nikon COOLPIX Style Series Cameras.
New York Fashion Week is the ultimate destination for fashion enthusiasts to see newly introduced trends. Nikon appreciates the fashion genius that lies within up-and-comers who push the envelope and move style forward. Daniel Franco's fashion line embodies a fashionable yet functional partnership between technology and design.
"As a designer it is imperative to appease your audience and produce cutting edge fashion," said Daniel Franco, designer and Project Runway contestant. "My clothing line offers me a chance to express my fashionable designs which have been inspired by Nikon's COOLPIX Style Series Cameras."
Nikon's involvement with STYLELounge is the second of the many fashion-centric programs communicating the COOLPIX style message to consumers. Beginning with the Kate Moss advertisements, launched in Spring 2006, these programs are promoting the sleek design, great style and appeal of the Nikon COOLPIX Style Series cameras.
