Designer Spotlight – Summer 2023

Cutting Edge Fashion Designers

July 5, 2023

Nepalese American fashion designer Prabal Gurung has made an industry name after launching his own eponymous label in 2009. Having worked with designers Cynthia Rowley and Bill Blass, he quickly became known for his elegant style and beautifully crafted garments. Gurung’s designs are characterized by their clean lines, feminine silhouettes, and use of bold colors and prints. Often incorporating materials such as neoprene, latex, and leather into his designs, his pieces are at once playful and sophisticated, embodying a sense of youthful energy and elegance.

Virgil Abloh is a creative genius who has become a household name. Designer, entrepreneur, artist, and DJ, he is responsible for some of the most iconic pieces of our time. His brand, Off-White was founded in 2012 and has since become one of the most popular streetwear brands in the world. It’s known for its distinctive diagonal stripes and use of industrial materials such as safety belts and hazard tape in its designs. The brand’s popularity skyrocketed after Abloh was appointed as artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear in 2018.

We have all heard of the fashion label Comme des Garçons. Do you know who the genius is behind it? Rei Kawakubo – that’s who! Kawakubo’s career began in the late 1960s when she started working as a freelance stylist and by 1973, quickly gained a reputation for unconventional designs and use of unexpected materials. Kawakubo’s designs are often characterized by their asymmetrical shapes, bold colors, and exaggerated proportions, and she is known for her ability to create challenging and beautiful garments. Kawakubo’s impact on the fashion industry has been significant. She has been recognized with numerous awards and honors, including the Order of Culture from the Japanese government in 2000 and the CFDA International Award in 2012. Her designs have been worn by some of the world’s most prominent figures, including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Bjork.

Daniella Helayel’s designs sweep you away and captivate your senses. This Brazilian fashion designer is behind the iconic Issa London brand. Founded in 2003, the brand quickly gained recognition for its signature feminine silhouettes and vibrant prints. Helayel is also recognized as a designer for Royalty. Specifically, Kate Middleton donned an iconic blue Issa London dress for her official engagement announcement to Prince William. This catapulted Helayel and her brand into the international spotlight. Helayel’s designs are renowned for their vibrant prints and bold color choices. From exotic florals to eye-catching geometrics, her patterns never fail to make a statement. These vivacious prints, combined with her expert tailoring and attention to detail, create garments that celebrate femininity in all its glory.
