I am often asked what do I feel earmarks an emerging designer for success. The answer is the ability to make a living from your designs without a huge marketing budget and when not being touted as the next big thing. With that in mind take a look below at who I am and have been paying attention to:
Morgan Carper Winter '14
Morgan Carper cuts very well and uses fascinating prints and fabrics to elevate her collection. Her collections are increasingly dead on target for her client. |
Dusen and Dusen Winter '14
Ellen Van Dusen's work is racked all over NYC as well as internationally and has great sell through. She has a deft touch, adding design elements to her shapes that make them and their wearer stand out from the crowd. |
H Fredriksson Winter 14
Helena Fredriksson's clothing has a dark beauty about it. Her silhouette choices always allow for movement and her fabrics have a depth and complexity about them that is bewitching. |
Logan Neitzel Winter 2014
A Project Runway survivor who's shown the admirable ability to dodge all of the fashion industry's bullshit and build a solid business with private clients and extremely high quality small run production. He has one of my favorite aesthetics in NYC and I suspect in a few years will be even more well known. |
