The fashion industry is ever so changing with new designs constantly evolving. More importantly there are new designers emerging all the time, hailing from all over the world with their interpretations on fashion which are based on their inspirations. Each individual inspiration is unique and how that is transformed into fashion is even more remarkable. Here are 10 emerging designers the industry needs to watch out for!
 |
| David Hart Collection |
 |
| Wes Gordon Resort 2014 |
David Hart – His Fall 2013/winter 2014 line makes me feel hot in the middle of winter. His new Spring/Summer 2014 collection takes you on a fashion safari and makes you want to get married all over again as long as you can wear his tuxedo jackets.
Wes Gordon – Bright colors, layers stand out in the dark of fall and winter. Her fall 2013 collection feels like you are bringing a fairy tale to life. With the colors, designs and everyone’s dreams of being a princess, with Wes Gordon you can. The colors pop and the dresses stand out, Snow White can only dream her dress was made by Wes Gordon.

| Fausto Puglisi 2014 |
Fausto Puglisi – Pastel and contrast are two words that come to mind when you see Puglisi’s designs. The colors are there and the designs too. You look at his designs and automatically think “I can wear that to this event, and that event, to this party, and that party”. He makes traditional skirts and dresses so untraditional with his color combinations and designs that they will just simply stand out in a crowd. If you don’t get compliments then people are either blind or pissed they didn’t think of wearing that themselves.

| Sinjing Chen collection |
Sinjing Chen – She is one of the up and coming designers from China. Her look is best described as fiery. The whites and bright reds, how they shine through the room. Herself, she is much understated like any other person walking down the street you would not think twice. She is the epitome of inner beauty, and not judging a book by its cover. Because if you would judge her, how wrong you would be.
 |
| Hannah Jenkinson Collection |
Hannah Jenkinson – A new take on knitwear is all the rage behind this new designer’s style and collection. Embroidery and knit wear paired with see-through sweaters and skirts are a must see and a must wear. The embroidered top is not just for Christmas with the red/green reindeer sweater dad wears in holiday pictures. Oh no, no, no, that has just been flipped on its head.
 |
| Claudia Li |
Claudia Li – If a Geisha was lost on Fashion Ave. she would find herself in a Claudia Li ensemble. Each section of each outfit is like a petal on a rose, both open and closed overlapping the other. But this rose has no thorns to speak of. We can only think as if looking at a rose “we love it, or we love it more”
 |
| Abigail Lewis Beaded Glass Skirt |
Abigail Lewis – If using and bending glass to texture and create illusions isn’t dangerous, then wearing it definitely is. Dangerous maybe in some sense, because it is glass, but stylish and unique it definitely is because again, it is glass. Danger aside - we all like to live courageously in some way or another, and Abigail Lewis lives courageously through her designs and style.
Carly Ellis – When your clothes glow under UV light that says something. This designer lights up fashion and makes the plaid shirt look like the plain white shirt your mother picked out for your 12th birthday. Working with DKNY she is grabbing the spotlight by the colored lens with which her clothes are seen through. The animal prints and colored suit jackets takes Friday’s business casual look to a whole new level, and it’s the executive level.

| Carly Ellis Collection |
 |
| Talia Shuvalov collection |
Talia Shuvalov – Born in Sydney and bred by Alexander McQueen and Narcisco Rodriguez surely makes her one of the top emerging designers in the industry. She changed the sweatshirt and made it into a ready to wear dress with patterns and bright colors. Making the basic grey now worth looking at. This isn’t your college pullover anymore this is your style makeover, and as comfortable as ever.

| Sinead Lawler |
 |
| Sinead Lawler |
Sinead Lawler – Born in Ireland, Sinead got her interest in fashion from her grandmother by watching her sew, and helping her mother knit by winding the yarn. Now her looks express that upbringing with her designs. Very simple is her mixture of one or two color tones, and layered designs to show depth but also very light fabrics making them easy to wear all the time. Putting designs of buttons on her collections and different knitwear she is going back to her roots with a 3D effect.
When you see a celebrity walk the red carpet, everyone always asks “who are you wearing?” The answer is always a famous designer like Valentino, Prada, and Gucci and so on. But no one ever asks” who dressed you up in this?” Because that’s an embarrassing question. What do you mean who dressed me in this? I’m not a young child where I can’t pick out my own clothes or I will go to school in pajamas and yesterday’s laundry. But you are, especially on Oscar night, or Grammy night because that’s when stylists matter most. Unlike the MTV VMA’s, there you see everyone dressing themselves and that’s why most celebrities are in t-shirts and jeans. So who does pick out the amazingly beautiful outfits for these stars? We will give you seven stylists you ought to know about.
 |
| Rachael Zoe |
1) Rachael Zoe - The most recognized name in style. From Bravo TV’s Rachael Zoe project. Before that she was rising in the fashion and celebrity circles by dressing artists like Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, and Kate Hudson. She now famously has her own website RachaelZoe.com, and a clothing line in mega stores like Nordstrom and Saks 5th Ave.
 |
| Kate Young |
2) Kate Young – The most sought after stylist right now. She started her career in Vogue magazine and quickly moved up styles corporate ladder. She has consulted for Victoria’s Secret, Tod’s and also Dior. Herself she started a clothing line of fine wool knitwear for women and kids. Her celebrity clients include the likes of Natalie Portman, Hilary Swank and Rachael McAdams.
 |
| Petra Flannery |
3) Petra Flannery – Making classic, clean and sophisticated looks pop is an art in itself for a stylist. This is what Petra does best. Born in San Francisco she has partnered with Heidi Klum, and dressed the stars we love to talk about on the red carpet – Mila Kunis, Megan Fox, and Emma Stone are among those.
 |
| L'Wren Scott |
4) L’Wren Scott – Started making her own clothes as a teenager, went to Paris to model, moved to LA and started working in fashion, excited yet? Designed her own dresses, loves the color black, unique collection titles, and style’s Kidman, J Law, and Michelle Obama, and that’s not even the half of it. If this doesn't make you want to learn more about her, then we don’t know what will.
 |
| Elizabeth Stewart |
5) Elizabeth Stewart – Putting a dress on backwards for the Oscars is as ballsy as it gets. That’s what Elizabeth Stewart said as a joke for Amanda Seyfried to do because it looked better being on backwards. Style 101, if it looks good, leave it. Working for companies like W, and NY Times definitely put the flash in her resume, and so does styling Jessica Chastain. She says she is a lazy dresser herself and that all her work goes into her clients though it seems hard to believe that her own style won’t look great regardless.
 |
| Ilaria Urbinati |
6) Ilaria Urbinati – Looks like a young celebrity herself. She can get a request to style an A-Lister. If she can help them then it’s a yes, if not, then oh well the A-Lister suffers and that’s Ilaria for you. She started as a buyer for her aunt designer Laura Urbinati in her West Hollywood boutique. Then went onto become the head stylist for Showtime’s “The L word”. She also styled for GQ Italy, Flaunt, and a host of other TV networks like NBC, ABC and Bravo. Ilaria also owns a boutique in California that tailors to hipster locals, fashionable celebs and musicians. Her work, and by work we mean her clients speak for themselves, include Bradley Cooper, Cobie Smulders, Kristen Stewart and Bruce Willis.

| Leslie Fremar |
7) Leslie Fremar - The most coveted stylist is originally from Canada, and if you think people in NYC are cold? Try winters in Canada, and then you will know what cold truly is. She started her career as a fashion assistant and worked her way up to Director of VIP Relations at Prada. Now that’s a company to put on a resume as well. She dressed the who’s who of Hollywood with names like Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson and Julianne Moore. Her own clothing collection can be seen at Bloomingdales which features tees, sweaters and dresses that start at $22. Not bad for the most sought after stylist in the industry.
7 Make-up artists you should know
Ever wake up in the morning next to someone and they look completely different than you remember them from the night before? Well say thank you, or don’t, to make-up. That’s what make-up does. It creates, it emphasizes, it enhances. Hollywood is all about enhancing, look at the big screen, the red carpet, Academy awards, the Golden Globes. Everything and everyone is shinier, more glamorous, and brighter than usual. But behind all that shine and glamour are 7 make-up artists you should know because they enhance how bright those stars shine with their make-up styles and techniques.
1) Jackie Gomez – One of the most highly praised make-up artists in the industry. She is known for her work with her hands, and the use of undiscovered products to make people and celebrities look amazing. If Beyoncé, and Marissa Miller trust her with their look, so should you. She also had an event called “Face the Beauty 2013” where anyone and everyone learned her secrets to looking great.
 |
| Gucci Westman |
2) Gucci Westman – When you are the Global Artistic Color Director for Revlon, you have to know a little more than something about make-up and Gucci Westman is and does just that. With developing products like “Lip Butter”, a whole new take on traditional lipstick was made, and Westman definitely made it.
 |
| Zena Shteysel |
3) Zena Shteysel – If ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” and an Emmy Award doesn't say that you should be known, only Kim Kardashians make-up artist can maybe be ahead, and we got him here too. With her own “Z-Palette” make-up company and kits, she is only scratching the surface of her career. Though when she scratches that surface she covers it up with her style to make it even more impressive.
 |
| Charlie Green |
4) Charlie Green – When Betsy Johnson is raving about and introducing you to everyone she knows, then you’ve hit the jackpot. With over 20 years of experience working with Magazines, supermodels like Heidi Klum and companies like Mary Kay, she is here to stay. Victoria’s Secret’s shimmering body lotion was designed by Charlie Green as well.
 |
| Melanie Mills |
5) Melanie Mills – Overseeing the make-up designs for Concept fashion in both NY and LA and being a favorite of A-list celebrities gives her the name recognition we should all be familiar with. She served as the brand ambassador for St. Tropez, one of the top self-tanning brands in the world. With artists like Brandy, and Kiera Knightly using her services, she is in the A-list group of make-up artists herself.
 |
| Anastasia Soare |
6) Anastasia Soare – Developing your own method of make-up application called the “Golden ratio” is a sure sign of success and someone who you should know about. Anastasia Soare is that person. She is referred to as the “Definitive Brow and Eye Expert” and has achieved iconic status as well. What is iconic status in the make-up industry? The name Oprah is iconic status, Anastasia Soare has Oprah as one of her many clients. Iconic enough for you?
 |
| Mario Dedivanovic |
7) Mario Dedivanovic – The biggest reality star on TV trusts him with her make-up and her looks. If Kim Kardashian trusts Mario, we should know Mario. The worlds most requested look – the smoky eye, contoured cheekbone, highlighted under eye area and nude lip look that Kim made famous is Mario’s look he created for and with her. But he worked with all the Kardashian sisters, which makes him in demand and not only should be known, but must be known.
