Summary
Hello, I am Christopher Byrne. I grew up in Rockland County, NY. Growing up so close
to the city allowed me to experience constant exposure to the Fashion industry.
My future goal is to create a menswear line, with a focus in leather goods. I love the world of Fashion and am grateful to have experienced
the industry first-hand at a young age. In my free time I enjoy DJing, cooking, reading, and documentaries.
