Pre-fashion week wrapped up Thursday after a whirlwind of shows on the same day, requiring a lot of back and forth between the Burroughes Building (The Collections) and Andrew Richard Designs (The shOws) or logistic scheduling for those who wanted to cover both. The Collections, which presented its inaugural season, featured designers that usually show […]
