Bay Fashion Magazine's Fall Editorial Issue just featured our newest luxury designer Bacca Da Silva as their current "Best of Bay" designer choice. As the publication's designer focus of the issue, Joan Currie from Bay Fashion Mag has an up close and personal with Bacca.

"944: Who is your favorite local clothing designer?
I recently worked with 10 Bay Area fashion designers for the Give Back Gala Fashion Show where I was introduced Kajan Padraig. Cake Carlos and Patrick Steber are the designers behind Kajan Padraig. They produce high quality, hip womenswear. They’ve been off to an amazing start since their label launched in 2009. They have even made several pieces for the SF Opera. I’ll be keeping an eye on them!"
