We are so glad that we will have Project No.8a (New York), I.T (Hong Kong) and Symphony (Dubai) to carry Fashionary.

Project No.8a / Ace Hotel

No. 8a is one of the best New York’s curated shops. Facing north along 29th Street, No. 8a is the second offshoot of Lower East Side boutique Project No. 8, founded by partners Brian Janusiak and Elizabeth Beer. Like its downtown counterparts, 8a is stocked with a mélange of understated cool and cutting edge labels.

Having a sketchbook that is tailor made for fashion designers has been always my dream, animators can use story board templates to draw, graphic designers can use dotted paper to have a grid system.
