The brand will present this dynamic collection at the PGA Demo & Fashion Experience August 17-19, 2015.

Beyond creative fashion groupings, fresh lifestyle pieces and inventive details, there is a touch of class and excitement to complement a smart buy,” Faddis explains. “The collection showcases depth in its prints, textures and details.
