Shayne Oliver for Hood by Air
"The designer eschews the constraints of high fashion sensibilities while pushing the boundaries of streetwear."
Thomas Tait
"The designer, who at 24 was the youngest student to complete the Central Saint Martins women's wear master's degree program, is evolving in myriad ways."
Tina and Nikita Sutradhar for Miuniku
"It's been a short road from total obscurity in Mumbai, where the sisters are based, to the innermost sanctum of Paris fashion last month for the semifinals."
Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty for Suno
"The label has evolved from a quirky, print-heavy collection dedicated to supporting artisans in Kenya to a design-driven darling of the fashion community."

"The designer's namesake collection made its debut at Paris Fashion Week in September 2011."
Tim Coppens
"The designer already had a solid pedigree before branching out on his own three years ago."

"After four years as senior designer of Balenciaga's ready-to-wear collections, Dossena in 2013 set up his own label, naming it after his father."
Chris Gelinas for CG
"Two seasons into his line, the designer is getting noticed for some seriously impressive textile manipulation."
Tillmann Lauterbach
"His collections combine the savoir faire of some of Europe's finest artisans with the sartorial needs of a modern-day man who seeks functionality and fun."
