FNO_OAK The April77 party at Oak was on the top-10 parties list (Refinery29)  for Fashion's Night Out, kicking off fashion week. I met up with Tommy Über of April77 at OAK to chat and check out some denim customizing! Concerning April77's creator and designer, Brice Partouche being a long-time vegetarian and recent convert to vegan, and making a cruelty-free shoe line, Tommy Über had this to say:

We don't make any leather... It's important to see the vision of someone that really carries his personal causes into a clothing line... And that's why people love April77 - because it's engaged. - Tommy Über, APRIL77

The current April77 collection does have wool, but Brice personally ensured me that all future collections will be free from animal products.
