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’.
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.
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.
REEM ALASADI
Reem Alasadi is a woman of firsts. The first non-Japanese designer asked to show in Tokyo Fashion Week and the first designer to combine both Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter into one season (which she did for her 2010 collection, Bubble and Squeak), Alasadi effortlessly seems to break boundaries.
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.
ZERO + MARIA CORNEJO | AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
A wise woman once said, “A woman should not be a sandwichboard for a designer.” That woman was Chilean-born designer Maria Cornejo.
RICHARD SORGER
Richard Sorger may not be as well known as some of his contemporaries, but with a client list including Courtney Love, Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Cindy Crawford, Kate Beckinsale and Miley Cyrus, he’s hot property amongst those in the know. That’s despite some of the decidedly dark references in his work.
RODARTE | AUTUMN / WINTER 2010
Cobweb jumpers, ethereal chiffon goddess-like gowns and metal embellished stilettos. These are only few of the now-iconic fashion designs by Californian sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy who stand behind the recent years’ most sought-after fashion brand, Rodarte.
