Since Joel Gomez founded the brand in 1983, Sessions has mixed technical function with progressive art and music themes that speak to the brands roots as a music label. We caught up with Marketing Manager Danielle Glagola to see where the brand is heading for next season and where it’s getting its inspiration.
