Curve NY was, as always, a 3 day marathon of appointments for me. I missed a few interesting brands and worst of all, lost my notebook containing two full days of notes. Not to worry, resurrection is imminent as I make contact with each company whose input is somewhere in a NYC taxi cab.
Curve is a giant gallery of brands and my preference is to curate trends prevalent to the industry as … Read More
