Two of Kazakhstan's most prestigious designers will exhibit in the United States for the first time at the National Press Club on September 19, 2008. An advance viewing the critically acclaimed film Borat's Repentance, will also be shown. The film is a Kazakhstan native's response to the popular 2006 movie Borat. The film promises to illustrate a true depiction of Kazakhstan's rich and diverse culture. I am honored to invite you to be our guest on September 19, 2008 at 7.30 pm for an evening of Kazakh flair while watching the Kazakhstani Fashion Collection at National Press Club.| This event will be taking place during DC Fashion Week September 14 -- 21, 2008. We are excited that DC Fashion week has invited us to participate with our collections - "KURALAI" and "AKKENJE". Also, there is a rumor that BORAT having seen her fashion show in Paris and in London fell in love with her. Because Kuralai did not love Borat in return, he made his famous film containing many lies about Kazakhstan. There has been a second film shot called "BORAT'S REPENTANCE", which has shown his true feelings for Kuralai and has somehow come into her hands. Anyone interested in this film and in Kuralai's elite fashion collections, can view it at DC Fashion Week at the National Press Club on September 19, at 7.30pm, 529 14th St NW # 1300, Washington, DC 20045, US 202-662-7500 The brand "Kuralai" means high quality fashion.
