With Boston Fashion Week turning 20 years old this year, I was thrilled to be invited to attend the highly anticipated sixth annual Launch event. For those that don't know, "The Launch," was created six years ago by the ever talented writer, professor and founder of Boston Fashion Week, Jay Calderin, to allow for emerging designers to display their work on a larger scale.
