Brooklyn Designers Celebrate 4th Anniversary of Retail Outlet with Month Long Release of New Collections and Fashion Show Finale

Husband and Wife Design Duo, Jayson Abram & Etreea Tropp unveil a new fashion line and host fashion show to mark the 4th anniversary of the Tribal Impressions brand and Brooklyn retail store launch.

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 8, 2003 --Fashion designer Jayson Abram and Etreea Tropp celebrate the 4th anniversary of the Tribal Impressions (tribalimpressions.com) brand and Brooklyn retail outlet with the month long release of a series of new mens and womens designer clothing lines to be showcased in a grand finale -- a fashion show extravaganza on January 3, 2003 at their Brooklyn store.

The retail outlet has attracted steady business and loyal customers even during the current national economic downturn and after the regional effects of the tragic events of 9-11. The duo expects increased business through this holiday season and into 2004. Says Abram; We are planning to expand our production efforts now to take advantage of the anticipated demand in two ways. We want to develop local community based facilities and jobs for producing our collections. And it is also important to us to take advantage of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which eliminates tariffs for textile goods from Africa, because we can import basic items from African countries at low cost and customize them here with local talent under the Tribal Impressions brand."

Jayson attributes his success to his brands subtle design spirit. He adds: I am continually surprised by the broad range of loyal customers that come through my door -- from the local residents that want to go to the next level in design and self-expression to the Hollywood clients that appreciate the freshness of the collections and the quality of the goods."

About the Tribal Impressions Brand: The Tribal Impression brand expresses the idea of self-recognition through fine textiles. The idea of the common heritage we all share rooted in the distant past, which implies in a way, of living into the far future. In a world of warring cultures and ethnic cleansing, it is important to remember we are all of One Tribe. Tribal Impressions conveys this idea in fashion through symbols, textures and colors. Symbols of strength, life, and unity permeate all of the Tribal Impression clothing lines - the strength to preserve life, the passion to celebrate it with apparel that conveys a deep sense of vibrancy, and the unity to embrace all things. The rich textures of the clothing keep us in touch with our natural world -- the smooth silks like water, the fine linens like good earth, and the suede like fine animal fur. The colors of the earth impart a warm and sensual hue.
