Maryland Center of Fashion Design
Fashion Design and Autism Advocacy
LYNX scholars learned about careers in fashion from Ella Pritsker (pictured left), President and Creative Director who welcomed our students to her studio at the Maryland Center of Fashion Design in Baltimore. She shared her designs and a photo taken at a fashion show benefit for Autism.
