Our Rewards and Recognition program has been letting peers herald the great work of their teammates for almost a year now, and it’s been inspiring to see why people get nominated over the past year.

Our friends at Honor have launched their Spring 2013 collection for presale on the Honor online store. Pixafy constructed Honor’s online store on a customized version of Magento with designs provided by RoAndCo.
Honor, founded by Giovanna Randall, has quickly built a name for itself over the past few years, earning a reputation of designing quality, elegant fashions that have earned plaudits from fashion critics and support from celebrities that wear the line. The Spring 2013 collection continues the company’s ethos of fashion that infuses a heritage of fearless women, both past and present.
Browse the new collection by visiting their recently refreshed online store. If you’re in New York, you can also visit their physical store.
