Running Light is inspired by Christo's Running Fence, vintage light bulbs, and candle smoke. Running Light is a menswear collection that focuses on clean modern tailoring. Running Light was featured at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week with The Academy of Art University on February 14, 2015 in collaboration with Andrea Nyberg, who created the textile for the collection.
