MEDIA USA: “A new designer emerges with a fresh take on iconic fashion. Brian Enrico celebrates strong women through his design perspective.At the Lancôme competition the official start of the Amsterdam International Fashion Week was underway but perhaps the biggest surprise of the night took place at the unofficial program on Friday night with the UFTA (Underground Fashion Talent Amsterdam) show. While most of the fashion shown at this event did not rise above the level of “fun clothing for a night out”, the couture shown by autodidact Brian Enrico was a cut above the rest. Enrico’s collection is based on various female style icons who continue to fascinate: The simplicity of Grace, Jackie and Audrey; the drama of Marlene, Greta and Morticia. While the collection has the grace and elegance of the iconique movie stars of the past, watching the collections prance by on the backs of divas, you cannot help but be hark-back to the 1980’s and the broad shoulders of its working women. Enrico’s collection is in no way tried and tired, however. His approach to the bygone eras is a meld of the past, present, and future which is distinctly his own. Enrico does not believe in the taboo surrounding the female body. During personal fittings Enrico models each garment on the individual client to ensure the best accentuation of each woman’s body shape. His approach to design proves his admiration for the female form emphasizing the shoulders, breast, waist, and hips. In fact his muses and models are headstrong women of all generations. His dress code: Black to Basic. Welcome on board of his first night flight to Venus. Brian Enrico Body Couture wishes you a fantastic journey!

Hello! I’m Kristin Volk with a UPI Headline Update on this Thursday, May 31, 2007.

A special tribunal is being created to deal with the suspected killers of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The U.N. Security Council voted to move ahead with the trial yesterday which will begin June 10. Hariri and 22 other people died in a suicide car bombing in Beirut two years ago. In April 2005, a U.N. mission found that Lebanon’s inquiry into the Prime Minister’s assassination was flawed.

Thirteen people are dead today in an attack in Pakistan. That’s after unknown assailants fired guns, rockets and hand grenades at the home of a senior Pakistani government official. The attack apparently targeted the official, but he survived. There’s no word yet on who was behind the attack.

A U.S. helicopter crashed in Afghanistan last night killing all seven people aboard. The crew consisted of five Americans and two military passengers. Preliminary reports say the chopper was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade. NATO officials say the team that responded to the crash was ambushed. There are claims that militants shot the helicopter down.

The search continues for those fliers at risk for tuberculosis. Health officials in North America and Europe are looking for about 80 people who sat near a man infected with a dangerous, drug-resistant form of the disease. Authorities also say the man took a number of flights within Europe earlier this month. Those passengers are trying to be located. The man reportedly took these flights for a wedding and honeymoon. He’s now under quarantine.

That’s all for now. Check out upi.com tomorrow for our weekly wrap-up from the White House.
