New York Fashion Week September 2008 Daniel Emir Armosilla, Womenswear and Knitwear Designer

Born in Manila, Philippines and raised in California, Daniel is inspired by the California way of life. American & Efird, Inc. donated the orange day glow yarn and Iron Horse Safety Specialties donated the reflective ribbons used in his collection.

Californians are people with lots of character, they are free spirited, carefree, and live their lives with a wherever the day takes them mentality. This mantra is carried into their travels, going to places like Guatemala and South Africa, which is where the jacquard patterns and silhouette shapes were derived for my collection.
