The Indie / Emerging Designers mega thread

[Crying Diamonds]

I'm really interested in little known menswear designers - their clothes just appeal to me excruciatingly badly.
It's just the feeling you get - "I'm wearing a brand I love and it's a secret between me, it and the keen-eyes ". And when it's so well made and such a beautiful design.
I'd die to own a wardrobe by Wilfried Mayer.

Can anyone suggest any little known menswear designers?

lmelanie: For some interesting indie designers I'd recommend taking a look at the fashion indie site, specially the 'designers to know' section where they showcase some great emerging talents every now and then.

Introducing Caroline Azzi

Dear all,

Hoping that Designers and Collections is the TFS right forum for this, I would like to introduce the label of Caroline Azzi in Marbella, Spain to you.

Caroline makes dresses, beachwear, opulent jewellery and different accessories such as hats, earrings etc. with a summery, colorful and nature-inspired style integrating ethnic and boho touches.

I would say her necklaces are her specialty.

Link to her web site: http://www.carolineazzi.com/
and there are some examples below:

Enjoy!

Here are some of the necklaces

Finally, a tote bag, earrings and some more editorial pictures from Marbella Rocks, a local lifestyle magazine here.

Thanks for this thread, mrrene.

I will ask the moderators to take a look at this designer to see if she qualifies for a thread in this forum.

Can you provide me more information ... does she show at any particular fashion weeks? Does she show her collections each season? Has her line been featured in and major fashion magazines? Where can someone buy her lines?

You can buy her lines online once it is ready and at several boutiques in the Marbella area and also on the Côte d'Azur. She does renew her collections regularly. I am sorry she has not been featured in international magazines or Fashion Weeks of large cities, is that the qualifying criterion? I cannot seem to post in the Designer links collection, it seems to have been inactive since 2005.

Thanks for the info. And yeah ... to have an individual thread, a designer needs to come close to meeting the criteria, above.

We think this belongs in the old Indie / Emerging Designers thread ... since she does not show in the main Fashion Weeks nor have an major presence with the press, yet. I will merge it there.
