Quotes:
“This event attracts the most innovative and brightest designers and retailers throughout the world, and I am proud to take part in it,” said Morgan. “Instead of waiting for fashions to go from Paris to New York and Los Angeles and then trickle down to Raleigh, I prefer to go and see them firsthand to stay on top of the latest trends in eyewear.”
