Award-Winning Andrew Morgan Collection Introduces New Eco-Alpaca Collection and Rolls Out English Eccentrics, Mod Pod and Raw Earth Lines At NYIGF

Mount Vernon NY – A past two-time “Best in Show” winner, Andrew Morgan Collection announced today that the textile designer will be introducing a brand new eco-alpaca line called Purity and will be rolling out three other new collections called English Eccentrics, Mod Pod and Raw Earth, at the 2009 NY International Gift Fair (NYIGF), scheduled August 15-20. Additionally, a throw and pillow from the Purity collection in Eco-Seersucker and Ikat Tapestry patterns have been accepted for inclusion in the show’s SustainAbility Design for a Better World display. Andrew Morgan Collection’s booth will be located at Booths 7922 and 7924 at the Javits Center.

Exquisitely constructed from environment-friendly fabric, Andrew Morgan’s Purity Collection is manufactured from U.S.-grown organic cotton and Italian eco-Alpaca yarns. Developed entirely without chemicals and with no harm to animals, the eco-alpaca fabric is bio-degradable and made with “green” processing systems. The colors and designs in the collection all exhibit a refined and unpretentious Fortuny Fresco look. NYIGF marks the first time that the Purity Collection will be offered to retailers.

In addition, Andrew Morgan will also be rolling out three new collections – English Eccentrics, Mod Pod and Raw Earth. The English Eccentrics collection, manufactured from an Ami-Vert / Samoa blend, combines the look and feel of London’s famous Savile Row and features iconic 1960s prints that channel the days of Janis Joplin. Outrageous and playful, the line is characteristic of all of Andrew Morgan’s signature designs, always inspired by nature, culture and travel. Moreover, the Mod Pod collection, made from US grown organic cotton with Italian cotton boucle, exemplifies urban chic with a clean and cool look. Black and white with hot colors, this very sensuous line reveals amazing contrasts between Black Victoria Goth and bright flashes of color. Furthermore, Andrew Morgan’s Raw Earth collection displays earth colors and is made from merino, Ami-Vert and Samoa Microfibre. Textured tweeds and modern patterns are used to create this hip, prairie brush design that is uncomplicated and luxurious in the most tasteful way. All three collections will be offered as part of Andrew Morgan Collection’s Retail De Luxe line.

“Our product goal this year, as with all of our textile lines, is to move, inspire and create a luxurious and sensual environment that feeds the soul of those who encounter them,” says company founder and CEO Andrew Morgan.

“As always, I am proud of the integrity with which we create our textiles as well as the aesthetic beauty and sumptuous feel of our new collections.”

Mr. Morgan is also pleased to note that the hospitality industry has become a fan of his company’s fabrics, with many leading hoteliers featuring his collections in-room including the Ritz Rancho Mirage, Waldorf Astoria Bonnet Creek and Hilton New York, among other properties worldwide. Mr. Morgan also launched a spa line in 2008, which can today be found at the Ritz Palm Beach, Fountainbleau Miami and Mirage Las Vegas, among others.
