Fashion design students at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco were given the opportunity to showcase their Spring 2013 collection during Fashion Week in New York City.  Eight women’s wear collection and one collaborative collection showcased their designs at the Theatre yesterday evening.

Thank goodness I can look forward to these:

Some talented stuff coming out of the Academy of Art University.  Some questionable stuff as well.  Nevertheless, it’s still exciting to see the fruits of one’s creative labor.
