Marques Almeida

Denim’s moment is reconstructed, retooled, and refinished. A retro renaissance of pieced together, elevated details and reinterpretations of youthful vintage reinvigorated into innovative jean silhouettes.

Alexander Wang

Denim is timeless and boundary transcending.

Defining laid-back Cali cool beach-to-street dressing. Carefree and layered, a spirited hodgepodge of street, surf, gypsy and lounge. Redefining urban Boho chic. Retro references inspire feminine dressing and skinbaring moments.

Ulla Johnson

Ultra-femme, sinfully playful yet innocently sweet. Rooted in retro charm. An emphasis on romantic ease, ladylike edge and sophisticated simplicity.

Jill Stuart

Whimsy of boudoir dressing, eye-catching laces, translucent fabrics and imaginative pairings.

Social media darlings and off-duty models tweeting the most up-to-date, trend savvy pairings. The importance of “now” dressing. Nostalgic fashion references the ’80s and ’90s.

Baum Und Pferdgarten

Instagram-ready style, paving the way for millennial dressing.

An upside down effect to dressing. A wild clash and pile-it-on mentality currently upsetting fashion’s usual expectations. Youth culture pairs the unconventional and twists the classics. The progressive trendsetter is unafraid to push the boundaries.
