The Best Young Designers to Watch in 2017
Today is the last day of the Paris collections, following the four-week stretch that constitutes the New York, London and Milan Fall 2017 shows. And, so, it’s a good time to look back on the up and coming talent that is making fashion’s cognoscenti take notice, an exciting bunch that includes a Texan favored by both Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama, a Central Saint Martins dropout, an Antwerp-trained Parisian, and a graduate of the Kanye West school of hard knocks. Together, they make up the future of fashion, and the future looks bright.
