One of the most exciting parts of Fashion Week is seeing the young designers, the ones who young enough to still be connected to the streets of our cities. And at the Academy of Art Spring 2007 Olympus Fashion Week Show, the fashion denizens of New York had a chance to see the work of the students of one of the most prestigious art schools: the San Francisco based Academy of Art.
