American Design Takes Center Stage in the Fall Issue of Ac Magazine, Featuring Over 60 CFDA Designers
The Fall Issue of Ac Magazine, with the support of the CFDA, is here. Featuring designers across fine jewelry, handbags, footwear, eyewear, hats and more, this issue explores the artistry shaping American fashion today.
Behind every finished piece is a process of sketches, materials, construction, revisions and creative intention. What looks effortless rarely is.
