Meet the designers putting the new back into new york

Name Charles Harbison Age 33 What’s the most creative area of New York? I feel like it’s Brooklyn. I’m in Bushwick. I lived there when I launched the collection initially. There’s lots of artists around our studios and galleries. For me it’s routed in Brooklyn and the creative community is spreading around Bed-Stuy and Bushwick. Is there a sense of camaraderie between young designers in New York? There’s got to be. You’ve got to collectively bargain but it’s that collective energy keeps us all encouraged and informs us. How do you want to develop Harbison? I just want to take this kind of lifestyle approach with the collection and offer more; giving more people the means to opt into it. I also want to diversify the price point, that’s really important to me. Sahara wears hoodie American Apparel. Bralette and skirt Harbison.
