Welcome to Fall 2017 Fashion Month: What to Expect
Make yourself a pot of coffee and double check to make sure your ‘Pin’ button is installed in your browser because it is Fashion Month people! Wahoo! For some of us this is like the Superbowl and World Series all rolled into one and it happens twice a year.
