Press Release Summary = The Philadelphia-based Dah-veese label will make its New York debut during Couture Fashion Week in September 2005. The runway show and after party will be held on Thursday, September 8 at 8:00 p.m. at West Side Loft, 336 West 37th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues), New York City. The "Evolution" collection for Spring/Summer 2006 by designer Darnell (Jewell) Davis is edgy and creative, yet soft and contemporary appealing to today's modern woman. The dynamic Dah-veese designer combines signature denim with unexpected fabric combinations: fine silk organza, silk dupioni, silk taffeta, silk linen and cotton with an emphasis on angles, dimension, depth and texture. The collection's color palette is inspired earth tones -- from vibrant sun rays and sky blues to the darkness of turned soil.

Press Release Body = The talent and tenacious spirit of this creative young designer is truly inspiring," says producer Andres Aquino of USA INTERNATIONAL FASHION SHOWS. "We are excited to be part of his entrance onto the New York fashion scene."

Native New Yorker Darnell Davis began designing hand stitched t-shirts as a means to support his struggling music career. He created a 72-piece t-shirt collection, hand sewing everything from the inner labels to the raised felt chest logo. After working with a local store in Delaware and seeing his collection sell out in 2 weeks, Mr. Davis turned all his creative energies to fashion, creating the Dah-veese label in 1995. Consisting of one-of-a-kind apparel for both men and women, the label's unique character came from the designer's innovative use of denim with such materials as silk, mink fur and snake skin and quickly became a favorite on the local fashion scene.

While showing his wares at the Las Vegas Magic Show in 2002, Mr. Davis met Belinda Harris. A former beauty pageant winner and runner-up for Miss Pennsylvania, Ms. Harris has almost a decade of modeling experience as well as a degree in Broadcasting and Communications. Combining their considerable talents, Mr. Davis and Ms. Harris launched Dahveese Denim LLC in 2004 with a new vision and perspective on the fashion industry.

Belinda Harris, securing the position of president and partner in Dah-Veese Denim LLC, plays a major part in the foundation, handling all aspects of the company. Dah-veese recently launched their new website, www.Dahveese.com, where all of their
fashions can be viewed.
Working without pattern makers, cutters or steamers, the design duo begins with 310 designs, refining them down to 110 and eventually the final 30 set collection takes shape.

According to Mr. Davis, " Our credo is Life imitates fashion...& fashion is what you make it."
