FRANCESCO SCOGNAMIGLIO
Creatures of the deep were the main source of inspiration for Francesco Scognamiglio’s collection for Autumn/Winter 2010/11, and we’re not talking about Ariel and Flounder. Eerie crystal-encrusted eels and serpents twist around necks and waists in the form of chunky collar necklaces and heavily jewelled belts.
CHARLIE LE MINDU
Born in France in 1987 Charlie Le Mindu began his career as a hairstylist aged thirteen, training at the French Hair Academy after which he became the resident hairdresser at Berlin clubs such as White Trash, RIO and Barbie Deinhoffs performing ‘live cuts’.
ANTHONY VACCARELLO
Belgian born fashion designer Anthony Vaccarelllo, designs for the woman in power.
HENRIK VIBSKOV
A bright palette and bold colour-blocking define Scandinavian designer Henrik Vibskov’s vibrant collections.
CARIN WESTER
There’s a certain kind of effortless, practical, yet sharply avant garde cool that only the Swedish can do really well, and Carin Wester’s take on laid-back chic is no exception.
ALICE PALMER
Change was in the air during the shows for Autumn/Winter 2010/11: full-bodied ladylike chic returned to the runways in court shoes and corsets; stark minimalism made an overwhelming comeback and knitwear got sexy. Really sexy.
PROENZA SCHOULER
Starlets flock to Proenza like bees to honey, nursing on the label’s well-tailored dresses, edgy accessories and funky prints.
YUIMA NAKAZATO
Tokyo designer Yuima Nakazato has quickly found himself thrown into the frenzied world of high fashion.
HAIDER ACKERMANN
Haider Ackerman is someone one might refer to as a citizen of the world. Born in Colombia in 1971, he grew up in Chad, France and Ethiopia to name but a few countries before finally landing in Belgium at the famed Antwerp Fashion Academy of Fine Arts whose alumni includes Martin Maison Margiela, Ann Demeuleester and Walter van Beirendonck, all figures who have altered how fashion thinks, something Ackerman himself is no doubt slowly but surely doing.
ROMINA KARAMANEA
Take a quick glance at fashion designer Romina Karamanea’s A/W 2010/11 collection and you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s something of a gloomy affair. The collection is, after all, made up entirely of black pieces. But as a master of clever pattern-cutting (quite literally – having gained her MA in it from Central Saint Martin’s) there is of course more to Karamanea’s raven-hued designs than first meets the eye.
CLARE LOPEMAN | AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
Clare Lopeman is a British fashion designer based in Moscow whose aesthetic is defined by her background melding with her present, as her new surroundings lead her down a path a little less travelled.
HOLLY FULTON | AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
Graduating with a BA from Edinburgh College of Art and Design, Holly Fulton took some time abroad working as an antique jeweller and in embroidery and womenswear for Queen and Belle before returning to complete a MA in at the Royal College of Art. Post MA she spent some time at Lanvin and freelanced for Swarovski before taking the plunge and applying for Fashion East which welcomed her with open arms. Last season she made the leap to NewGen where she shall remain for S/S 2011.
TIM HAMILTON | AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
American-born menswear designer Tim Hamilton cut his teeth at J. Crew and Ralph Lauren before starting his own label, so one might be forgiven for expecting season upon season of slick, preppy Americana. A move to Paris, however, has focussed and strengthened Hamilton’s predilection for transcending and rethinking classic American tailoring and sportswear, resulting in his most cosmopolitan collection to date for the Autumn/Winter 2010/11 season.
DAVID KOMA | AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
Georgian born, London based designer David Koma has found himself in a fashion limelight while still studying for his degree.
