International Fashion Shows Of Switzerland Presents 2005 Le Fait Award At Greenwich Polo

International Fashion Shows of Switzerland - USA will be presenting the 2005 Greenwich "Le Fait" Award at the Greenwich Polo Clubs - East Coast Open on July 10, sponsored by the Marine Advocacy Council, Inc. (MAC). "Le Fait" Award, meaning "the purpose" in French, is bestowed on national and international designers for contributions to the betterment of society and their ingenuity brought to a new millennium in the Haute Couture community.

A division of the Swiss-based Fashion Travel Tours, International Fashion Shows - Switzerland is known as a logistics solution-tool in the fashion industry for those wishing to attend premiere destinations worldwide. Earlier this year, International Fashion Shows of Switzerland partnered efforts with the Marine Advocacy Council, Inc. (MAC), a non-profit corporation based in Tampa Bay, Fla.; becoming a division of MAC in the United States.

The wedding between water and yachts with beauty and fashion is an innovative and sophisticated correlation. The Marine Advocacy Council, Inc. has designed a network of online referral websites (MLS) for boats and yachts. The MAC Network addresses online Marine Industry issues by integrating leading-edge technologies designed to save consumers time and aggravation by listing only licensed and insured boat brokers or dealers. Standard MAC services and tools are free to the consumer. Revenues generated through referrals support advocacy within the industry, charities, charitable projects and special events in local communities.

International Fashion Shows celebrate splendor and the magnificent deities - the dawn of femininity, and the sophistication of her man. The "Le Fait" Awards challenge American and international designers to build safer communities through an inspiring exploration within the magical corridors of Haute Couture.
