Louise Goldin is the sassy young English designer who made her name by redefining knitwear. With an impressive background that includes 7 years at Central St Martins and a 2 year stint as head designer at Tereza Santos it is no surprise her collections have taken off.

Louise’s signature pieces are fabulous knitwear in a range of innovative fabrics using unusual weaves. Louise’s client is fashion forward and unapologetically sexy. She has already built up a celebrity fan base that includes Leighton Meester who chose a Louise Goldin design for the Jingle Bell Ball. The recipient of the BFC fashion forward award and a collaboration with Topshop is evidence that Goldin is an English star on the rise.

MARIOS SCHWAB

Another in a long line of stellar graduates from London’s Central St Martins. Schwab won the coveted best new designer award in 2006 the same year he debuted at London Fashion Week. Schwab can count some of the worlds biggest stars as his fans including Anna Paquin, Jessica Alba and Bryce Dallas Howard all sporting his designs.

His talent for making the classic (he is all about the little black dress) seem that little bit special landed him the highly publicised top job over at Halston. Schwab was tasked with the job of recovering the waning brand and his modernist first collection has won over the critics.

ROKSANDA ILINCIC

Roksanda Ilincic is the Serbian born designer with the talent and inspiration garnered from the Parisian greats of decades gone by. She learnt her trade at Central St Martins before shortly creating her first collection. Ilincic’s talent has led to a collaboration with Whistles creating a line of critically acclaimed and subsequently sold out dresses. What is Ilincic’s look? It’s about fluid silhouettes with a penchant for the use of charmeuse. Think seventies chic a la Yves Saint Laurent but highly dramatised. Her collection has garnered support from celebrities including Thandie Newton. Jaime Winstone chose an Ilincic design for the Elle Style Awards this year.

EMILIO DE LA MORENA

Emilio de la Morena is a Spanish born designer, graduate of Central St Martins and ex-employee of fellow London Fashion Weeker Jonathan Saunders. Following his first collection launched only a few years ago in 2006 the designer started attracted an impressive following. Leighton Meester is a big fan choosing Morena designs on a number of occasions and Alexandra Burke went for a blue dress for this years Brit Awards.

With time spent studying sculptures it is no wonder that his collections can be summed up by that one word. For Morena it is all about the silhouette, with what started as characteristically strong and harsh silhouettes has turned into a masterful juxtaposition between the strong and the fluid of material movement.
