2013 Annual AGTA Spectrum Awards | A World of Color

I had the pleasure of once again attending the AGTA Spectrum Awards and I must say the pieces were even more beautiful and enchanting than last year’s (if that’s even possible). As with every year, we had to choose three pieces as our favorites to vote as Editor’s Favorite. If you thought I had a difficult time last year, this time was amazingly worse and when you see the pieces, you’ll understand why. The preview of award winners and submissions featured pieces that boasts outstanding quality, craftsmanship and design. This year featured over 600 entries in the various categories – Bridal Wear, Business/Day Wear, Classical, Evening Wear, Men’s Wear, etc. The below is just a snippet of some of the amazing and stunning pieces I fell in love with at the event. I wish I could show you all of them here but my total favorites are in the high double digits
