About Carmen Marc Valvo:

In 1989 Carmen Marc Valvo set out on a path that would unknowingly lead him to found his eponymous label and become one of 7th avenue's most steadfast independent brands. He has been exploring his soul's desire to bring glamorous dressing to every woman's life ever since. His elegant eveningwear is now a staple at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, and countless other specialty stores nationally and internationally. TIME Magazine stood up and took notice of Carmen after his Fall 2005 collection in a feature story saying, "While other designers seek to shock, Valvo's creations shine in the marketplace." His label now appears on grand couture gowns and slinky cocktail dresses, his swimwear is a best seller at Victoria's Secret, sunglasses / eyewear, lingerie, home decor (launching Spring 2009) and his first collection of evening bags (launching Fall 2009), rounding out the designer's extensive brand.
