American TV Personality/ Designer, Angela Simmons looked stunning as she rocked our very own Starfish Ànkárá Super Snap clutch in blue during the recently concluded Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York.

Angela was spotted with the Urbanknit clutch at the front row of the Nanette Lepore Spring 2012 Fashion show at the Stage at Lincoln Centre on September 14, 2011.

Most of you know Angela from her feature (alongside her family) on the MTV reality TV show, “Run’s House” which follows the family life of her father (founding member of hip hop group Run-D.M.C) Rev. Run.

She also went on to star in a spin-off show called “Daddy’s Girls” with her sister Vanessa which follows their life as they start their business, Pastry.
