Women's Ready-to-Wear Designer to Host First DC area Trunk Show at Contemporary Art Gallery in Dupont Circle, May 17, 5:00pm to 9:00pm

New York, NY- Women's ready-to-wear clothing designer, KAL RIEMAN, will be showcasing its Fall/Winter 2011 collection with its first trunk show in Washington, DC on May 17 from 5:00pm-9:00pm. To be held at the Studio Gallery in Washington, DC's Dupont Circle. With a focus on elegance and straightforward tailoring, the collection uses a men's wear influence to create strong utilitarian looks for modern women.

Taking an unconventional path into fashion, designer Cally Rieman graduated from Denison University with a degree in East Asian Studies and Political Science. Then Cally began a four-year career in Finance before attending The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Now, having worked with designers such as Rubin Chappelle and H Hilfiger in both men's and women's wear for nearly 10 years her collection reflects just that. "Tough and chic, austerity without pretense," says Rieman. "I design clothing for women that embodies the grace and ease that makes men's wear so powerful." The KAL RIEMAN Fall/Winter 2011 collection was inspired by the austere looks of the 19th Century English gentleman and the sophisticated elegance of The Dandies. The heart of the collection is the tailoring story, with suits offered in a washed wool gabardine and a wool & paper fiber glen plaid. Key styles include high collar dress shirts, washed silk tunics, knife pleated leather skirts, and fencing inspired outerwear styles. KAL RIEMAN has been featured in Women's Wear Daily and O Magazine.

The Fall 2011 collection will be available for pre-sale and Spring 2011 for immediate purchase. The Studio Gallery is located at 2108 R Street, N.W., Washington, DC. May 17, 5:00pm to 9:00pm. Visitors are asked to RSVP to [email protected].
