Romanitza The Westin Times Square Majestic Ballroom 270 West 43rd Street @ 8th Avenue, New York City February 10, 2008 Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Al McCotter

Romanian designer Claudia Iovan showed a scrumptious line of luxurious evening dresses during February's Couture Fashion Shows. The dresses were heavily embellished and featured beading, lace panels and embroidery. The models walked the runway with high pompadours of upswept hair, giving a touch of eighties glamour to the line. The brown evening gown with the fabric flying back from one side of the bodice may have been a little "lost in translation, but the lime green gown with cut-in shoulders and lace swags on the sides of the skirt stole the show - it was stunning.
