Pedro Lourenco

The next big thing? He already is.

Chloe

This collection made me love life more.

Haider Ackerman

He did "Japanese-inspired" without being too inspired.

Celine

Phoebe Philo is our fashion mascot.

Hussein Chalyan

Beautiful clothes, shown in an unconventional format.

Dries van Noten

He had me at the boyfriend blazer.

Hakaan It's this Turkish designer's way of cutting fabric that makes him one to watch.

Miu Miu

A super fun show, but for all its kookiness, we actually want to wear the clothes.

Balenciaga

Bold graphics done beautifully. And with a finesse rarely seen elsewhere. He's just good.

Cerutti Richard Nicoll is, hands down, my favorite designer of the moment. Why they didn't put this collection on a runway I have no idea, because it deserves one. He is a master of balance and curves.
