From fitted to exaggerated forms, Joey Samson can do it all. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Day 3: Urban Revivo - URBAN REVIVO gave us amazing modern looks with their Western-inspired collection. The brand hit the mark when it came to creating looks that had a Western touch to it while still being great options for walking around a modern city. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Day 3: Urban Revivo - Their take on this concept was applaudable and we can’t wait to see how people wear them this summer.</p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Day 3: Bench - To end the weekend strong, the models walked down the runway wearing the BENCH Summer 2024 Collection. </p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Day 3: Bench - The collection embodied everything you need for the summer from casual clothes, night time looks, and fits meant for the beach and poolside.
