Innovation in menswear

One of the key features of the Southern fashion extravaganza known as Charleston Fashion Week is the Emerging Designers competition.

The South Carolina-based event pulls in young, innovative designers from throughout the country.

From just north of the border, North Carolina’s Jessica Lache Fulks presented samples of her menswear collection. The offerings earned her the right to go to the final competition on March 19.

This is what her sartorial presentation had to say.
