BROOKLYN —
Andres Biel, honored as this year’s Harlem Fashion Week Emerging Designer, took an unconventional path into the field.
The 31-year-old, who works as a paralegal at a Brooklyn-based law firm, used classes at Mood Fabrics in the Garment District and YouTube videos to learn the craft and create his brand, IFly Universe.
He represents a new kind of self-made designer.
