5 Designers to Look Out For
Mathieu Schreyer, KCRW DJ.
I’ve always believed that the way you dress is an expression of who you are — it didn’t help growing up surrounded by four sisters and going to French schools!
So, I decided to pick 5 clothing lines and designers that are coming up and taking their craft seriously.
