Designer Antonio Azzuolo to Bring His Standout Ready-to-Wear Collection to Charleston Fashion Week 2013

Charleston Fashion Week®announces Antonio Azzuolo will join as a featured designer and a fashion panel member at CFW 2013 (March 19-23). Azzuolo, a 2011 CFDA/ Vogue Fashion Fund finalist and 2012 CFDA Swarovski Award for Menswear nominee, will present his Spring Summer 2013 collection, a.a. antonio azzuolo. He joins Fern Mallis and other fashion industry leaders on the CFW 2013 Fashion Panel, offering advice and mentorship to competitors in the Emerging Designer Competition: East.

a.a. antonio azzuolo, the custom, hand-tailored menswear collection, launched in 2008, drawing an immediate landslide of praise throughout the ranks of international fashion critics at The New York Times, GQ, Style.com, Esquire, and WWD, to name a few - for expert, razor-sharp tailoring alongside contrasting hints of whimsy and nods to street style. His Spring Summer 2013 included unisex pieces, proving he’s got something to appeal to every style.

“There’s a focus on what I do best, the tailored blazer and garment,” Azzuolo has said of his work. “I’m pleased to bring my collection to such a cultural hub as Charleston, and I look forward to being a part of Charleston Fashion Week.”

Scheduled for March 19-23, 2013, Charleston Fashion Week® will continue its mission to serve as a pipeline to career success for undiscovered talent in fashion design. CFW, in its seventh year, offers aspiring designers exposure and mentorship from fashion industry leaders in addition to producing a professional runway show.
