FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brooklyn | About Glamour/AG Gallery is pleased to present gAlmost Famoush, a fashion show and exhibition of Brooklyn-based designer Alisha Trimble. At the opening night on Friday 7/14, there will be a fashion show of Trimble's new Spring 07 collection. The exhibition will consist of Trimble's two different lines, Contemporary Couture from the fashion show and Ready To Wear as well as wall installation by Erica Sims and others. The whole gallery space will be transformed into a Hollywood red carpet situation and the audiences are invited to feel like one of those young celebrities.

Hand-sequined dresses sparkle seductively off the hips of unknown models as Alisha Trimble previews her celebrity-inspired collection. The audience begins to wonder which Hollywood blockbuster they missed this season, that they don't yet recognize the faces of these darlings: wearing decadent gowns and posing for the hungry paparazzi.

Fabricated fame is the theme of Ms. Trimble's Spring 07 collection, previewed exclusively at About Glamour/AG Gallery. Find out what the celebrities will have next to their skin. Bewitching cocktail dresses are for sale in the gallery, so you can buy the fame and take it home with you.

"Almost Famous | Alisha Trimble Fashion Show & Exhibition" will be on view at About Glamour/AG Gallery through July 27th, 2006. The gallery is located at 103 North 3rd St., between Berry and Wythe Ave. Hours: Mon. | Sat. 12-10pm / Sun. 12-8pm
