Canadian designer Jeremy Laing has been designing for almost a decade, yet many in the fashion industry aren't familiar with his work. That is partly due to the fact that it seems difficult to really grasp the brand's signature style. This season, Laing showed a menswear and womenswear collection that went from pin-striped dresses to day-glo dressed up sportwear and abstract prints. While there were several beautiful pieces, the designer's wanderings needed to be edited down.

Rabih Kayrouz has come a long way since fleeing the Lebanese civil war in 1989 at just 16 to study at L’École de La Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne: He's launched couture and ready-to-wear collections in Paris, become a guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, created a platform for young designers in his native Lebanon and designed a collection for La Redoute. There's no doubt he's accomplished a lot in his decades-long career--and yet many people, even those who follow fashion, still do not know his name. But if Kayrouz has somehow managed to fly under-the-radar so far, that's not likely to last. This year, he was nominated as a finalist for the ANDAM awards, and, just last week, Kayrouz was decorated as a “Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” by the French government.
