Everyone is just trying to survive; I think this is something you hear everywhere, from every business and perspective. Then there's Antonio Ciongoli, and 18 East. A brand that yes, is trying to survive but right now is flourishing. Antonio, the creative director, is an old friend, and something I've loved about him is while he's a designer, he's also an evangelist.
