Last week, 10 lucky and talented fashion design students from San Francisco's own Academy of Art University lived every designer's dream: to present their work on the runway during New York fashion week. Ten up-and-comers collaborated to show four womenswear and four menswear collections. From tribal prints in loose silhouettes to crisp white architectural suits, the students did not disappoint.
