(April 13, 2013) Dallas designer Ashley Burghardt will make a special appearance at the ASHARD RICHLEY Trunk Show showcasing her handbags at Zeus at The Harbor Rockwall from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 4.
Burghardt studied at Texas Tech University, then traveled abroad to study in Florence at the Florence University of Arts where she discovered her passion for accessory design. She then moved to New York City, after she got an amazing opportunity to intern with the high-end handbag and shoe line, Be&D. Ashley moved on to be an assistant designer on Coach’s Reed Krakoff Collection, before moving back to Dallas where she was the head designer at a small accessories company before launching her own line ASHARD RICHLEY, which debuted in 2009.
Ashley was also listed among the state’s top 20 designers by Texas Next Top Designer and was a coach to a young Dallas girl on MTV’s hit show, Made. Her most recent notable triumph was on the new Lifetime series 24 Hour Catwalk where she competed against three other talented designers to craft a collection within one day. Ashley’s designs championed the runway and a monetary grand prize.
The ASHARD RICHLEY Trunk Show will take place throughout the day on May 4, with Ashley’s personal appearance from 1 – 3 pm.
