2Launched in 2013, the LVMH Prize is a relatively young fashion award. Unsurprisingly, thanks to the luxury behemoth behind it and the revered designers on the jury, the prize gives young talents fast-track access to the highest echelons of fashion – as Grace Wales Bonner is soon to find out. The poised 25-year-old Londoner was awarded this year’s “life-changing“ prize. walesbonner.net, lvmhprize.com [Photos via instagram.com/walesbonner]

4In only 4 seasons, LRS studio has managed to scratch 2 very particular fashion itches: designer Raul Solis has created evening gloves that project contemporary cool rather than vintage elegance, and for A/W 2016 he has dreamed up a series of wearable duvets that look equal parts comfy and dressy. lrs-studio.com

5In fashion, you’re always as young as you feel, but Vejas Kruszewski is also young in years. Legend has it, he started dabbling in sewing at age 10, and has been – for all intents and purposes – a fashion designer since age 16 (a mere 3 years ago). Snap up one of his highly coveted designs now, while they’re still being handmade in his Toronto studio. vejaskruszewski.com [Photos via instagram.com/vejask]

6Neither Glenn Martens nor Y/PROJECT are newcomers in the strictest sense of the word. However, since the Belgian designer became the Parisian brand’s creative director, the label no longer only caters to men, but also to women – as well as everyone in between – with his, hers and unisex designs. Infused with streetwear, revamped fashion classics and deconstructed basics, the collections are effortlessly cool and desirable. yproject.fr

7You can’t have “embossed” without “boss”. The former is a signature design feature for fledgling label Area NYC, the latter is an adequate way to describe the ladies wearing the brand’s designs. Its understated, oversized embossed cotton shirts or unapologetically glamorous embossed silk dresses are designed to unleash anyone’s inner ladyboss. area.nyc

8Giving a young fashion brand the same name as one of the most famous designers from your home country is a bold move – and a smart one if the quality of your work stands up to the comparison. Tuomas Merikoski‘s AALTO isn’t named after interior designer Alvar Aalto, but rather for the Finnish word meaning “wave”. Nonetheless, the association is unavoidable. Lucky then, that in its first year, the brand has already convinced journalists, buyers and international prize panels that AALTO’s designs live up to their expectations. aaltointernational.com

10William Fan‘s highly sophisticated designs and well-rounded collection belie his eponymous label’s age. Only in its second year, the brand’s fastidious presentation – both on the catwalk during Berlin Fashion Week as well as online – seems to conform to common stereotypes about Fan’s dual German-Asian heritage: sleek, minimalist, well-crafted and discreetly luxurious. williamfan.com

11Yana Chervinska‘s designs walk a fine line between perfectly wearable clothes (from simple and sexy to edgy and avant-garde), and delightfully off-the wall-creations that pack a solid punch on the catwalk. Her collections manage to contain both smart business suits and club kid costumes – showing two sides of one perfectly coherent aesthetic. yanachervinska.com
