Top 5 Fashion Designers of 2011

This year, fashion’s top designers are a younger, hipper set of professionals–the fashion world has traditionally been ruled by older, established designers. While there are always going to be masters who’ve paid their dues, this year’s hottest designers seem to have come out of nowhere with some fantastic silhouettes. They each have their own aesthetics, and every last one of them has something exciting to offer. So here’s a look at some truly talented designers who have something to say.

Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters

When some men look for clothing on eBay, they want to find an outfit that combines softness and edginess. However, not many designers can pull off the juxtaposition of these two contrasting styles. Enter Gabier and Peters. These two are great at bringing both of these elements into an easy harmony.  With their geometric patterns and soft fabrics, this fusion is carried out seamlessly.

Michael Van Der Ham

A lot of designers go with singular fabrics, resulting in clothing that’s a little too plain. Michael Van Der Ham goes in the opposite direction, making a mockery of single fabrics and dull patterns. His pieces look like homemade collage work with a very informed design aesthetic. He keeps his styles together masterfully in spite of all the differing elements.

Felicity Brown

Felicity Brown’s clothes are the talk of fashion. They’re sophisticated and well suited for any occasion. Few designers can keep this many ideas together, but Felicity Brown strikes a balance flawlessly.

Emilio de la Morena

One recent fashion trend is known as body con, and it basically means that one should dress in outfits that best suit their body type. Emilio de la Morena is one of the masters of body con because he has an instinctive appreciation for how clothes should fit.  His clothing speaks of a great love of tailored fashions.

There are a lot of young talented designers at work nowadays in the fashion world. In fact, most of the hottest designers are under 30 years old. The trendiest silhouettes are coming from those who know how a body should be adorned. You can only imagine what these young powerhouses are going to develop as they get older and gain more experience.
