10 Emerging designers the Industry needs to watch out for !

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 12^th 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.
