1-of a-Kind: Amir pt. 2

Awhile back Amir was featured on LateBoots as a young fashionista. We’re not giving shine to those who think their style is fly or can drop heavy labels. We're looking for entrepreneurs doing big things in this industry. And that’s what I found in Amir. So I had a little chat with Amir to see what he has been up to in 2008.
