Fashion
future perfect
the fall ’14 pieces our market director is obsessed with, straight from agenda.
Agenda WMNS is my favorite trade show to attend for hunting down the freshest, most up-and-coming streetwear brands around. As NYLON's market director, I'm responsible for scouting trends and finding the coolest pieces that will make their way onto the fashion pages of the magazine, so as I walked the aisles of backpacks, 5-panels, and graphic tees, I was searching for two important things: quality and originality.
Check out my slideshow for the standouts--you won't be able to get your hands on them until fall '14, but you can get started on that wishlist now. And don't miss my street style picks from Agenda WMNS, either!
