Antonio Azuollo
The only other CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nominee on our list, menswear designer Antonio Azzuolo is now getting the attention he deserves after launching in 2008. It can hard for menswear designers who don’t quite fit the GQ mold to break out, but when they do, they shine that much brighter. He interprets classic menswear with a fresh eye, creating well-tailored pieces with a twist. Things like pullovers with belted waists and white fur-trimmed coats may not be for every guy, but we think they look incredible. Can’t wait to see what he brings to the Standard on Monday.
