A list of the new-comers, this spring, that are causing all the buzz.
From Style.com
1.Alistair Carr (Gen Art)
What do you get when you cross wet T-shirts with Spanish matador embroidery? Just one example of Alistair Carr's work, that's what. A recent graduate of London's renowned Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Carr is building a career based on his ability to channel diverse inspirations (motocross and ruffles, for instance) into innovative, focused collections.
2.Annelore (Gen Art)
Brazilian-born Juliana Cho worked for Catherine Malandrino before leaving to sell her pretty, feminine clothes from her tiny West Village boutique Annelore last year. Now she's taking her collection to the runway for the first time, with a little help from Gen Art and L'Oréal Fèria.
3.Charles Alexander
With stints at Geoffrey Beene, Yves Saint Laurent, and Christian Lacroix, Charles Alexander’s resume reads like a fashion who's who. He's been designing privately for Bergdorf Goodman clients for a while, but now he's ready for a close-up.
4.Derek Lam
A Parson's graduate with 12 years of experience at Michael Kors, Lam is presenting a Spring collection that is one part Marilyn Monroe sizzle, one part In the Mood for Love restraint. Look for Italian-sewn coats with contrast linings and tailored dresses in bold florals.
5.Gayle met Glenn (Gen Art)
Khary Septh has wasted no time. At 25, he's already studied fashion's creative side (at Cornell and Central Saint Martins) and worked its business angle (as a merchandiser at Barneys New York). The aesthetic behind his Gayle met Glenn label? “Color = fun.”
6.Lars Andersson (Gen Art)
Swedish-born Lars Andersson is inspired by his native countryside, and his idea of a good time is spending hours alone at the knitting machine. Throw in a dollop of goth glam and the results are delicate, intricately stitched pieces with a definite edge.
