The first designer I met before the Menswear Collection Show at DC Fashion Week was Stella of Stella Bonds.
Now a resident of Alexandria, Virginia, just outside of Washington DC, Stella hails from Bogotà, Columbia.
Her 2016 spring/summer collection kicked off the evening, igniting the runway with a line of brightly colored swimwear, beach pants, and very funky vests.
When I questioned Stella about the focus of her collection, she responded that she was laying special emphasis on the “legs” of a male physique and, in turn, “slacks.”
