NEWS 12: Back to School Trends

We love our Back to School segments, even though we’re in denial that it’s August and the end of summer is here! Our models were so amazing and I was so happy to work with a brand that specifically caters to children with disabilities.

The below trends were seen on News 12 throughout Long Island, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Connecticut and New Jersey.
