The way the Taiwanese designer 01 Woomin interprets a suit jacket varies vastly from the ones that Brazil\u2019s Misci makes, but both remain exciting iterations of the classic silhouette. Similarly, it\u2019s always exciting to discover a new batch of disruptors, like Anthony Calydon in Paris. \u201cSelf-taught, [Calydon] represents to me a new generation of young French designers building brands directly with their community, in control of their own narrative,\u201d says Claire Thomson-Jonville, head of editorial content at\u00a0Vogue\u00a0France.<\/p>\n<p>To highlight these unique voices across the globe,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0asked each of the international titles to nominate an emerging designer from their respective region. \u201cVogue\u00a0is such a powerful bolster for brands and designers, I love to see that support translate into success,\u201d says Chloe Malle, American\u00a0Vogue\u2019s head of editorial content.<\/p>\n<p>Meet this generation\u2019s class of global designers, below.<\/p>\n<p>    Adria: Tanja Vidic by Tanja Vidic and Abbas Mandegar<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Bor\u00e5s, Sweden, and Ljubljana, Slovenia<br \/>Founded:\u00a02025<\/p>\n<p>Tanja Vidic\u00a0is a Slovenian designer specializing in experimental knitwear. Her work combines traditional knitting techniques and craftsmanship with contemporary, provocative design, unconventional colors, and recycled objects. Her approach is influenced by growing up in a small town in Slovenia, its DIY culture, and the need to work with limited resources. She recently collaborated with Rick Owens, creating 20 knitted looks for his Hollywood collection, and her designs have been worn by Cardi B. \u2014Milan Djacic,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Adria<\/p>\n<p>    Arabia: Ziyad Buainain by Ziyad Albuainain<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0London<br \/>Founded:\u00a02021<\/p>\n<p>Ziyad Buainain\u00a0represents a new generation of Saudi designers who are keen to leave their imprint beyond the region. His designs are confident, with generous volumes that still feel modern. They resonate with a younger audience that appreciates both boldness and a certain minimalism. He is also highly conscious of the world around him, working with deadstock, recycled, and responsibly sourced fabrics. \u2014Manuel Arnaut,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Arabia<\/p>\n<p>    Australia: Samuel Lewis by Samuel Lewis<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Melbourne<br \/>Founded:\u00a02023<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2023,\u00a0Samuel Lewis\u00a0is an Australian Taiwanese designer whose upbringing spanned Canberra, Vietnam, New Zealand, and the Philippines, before he went on to graduate from Polimoda Fashion School. He gained global attention after dressing Lady Gaga for the 2025 Grammy Awards and Coachella, also collaborating on her tour wardrobe alongside her stylists, Nick Royal and Peri Rosenzweig. Lewis has since created looks for Madonna, Chappell Roan, Jennie, and Ros\u00e9. His pieces are currently made to order, while he works on a full collection show, with signature designs including the striking \u201cmattress\u201d dress, while his broader body of work is defined by contrasting shapes and experimental textures. \u2014\u00a0Christine Centenera,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Australia<\/p>\n<p>    Brazil: Misci by Airon Martin<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo<br \/>Founded:\u00a02018<\/p>\n<p>Design that looks to Brazil rather than drawing inspiration from elsewhere lies at the core of\u00a0Misci\u2019s\u00a0philosophy. Reimagined tailoring, defined by body-conscious cutouts and innovative silhouettes, is one of the brand\u2019s signatures. Two materials have become synonymous with Misci: custom-woven jacquards, often featuring hidden tongue-in-cheek phrases, and pirarucu leather, a sustainable alternative made from the skin of the Amazonian pirarucu fish. The label\u2019s handbags are popular and have become instantly recognizable in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>    China: Shushu\/Tong by Liushu Lei and Yutong Jiang<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Shanghai<br \/>Founded:\u00a02015<\/p>\n<p>Shushu\/Tong\u00a0is a Shanghai-based womenswear label founded by Liushu Lei and Yutong Jiang in 2015. The brand reimagines femininity through a contemporary lens, blending romantic codes such as bows, lace, and delicate embellishments with sharp tailoring, unexpected proportions, and a confident modern attitude. What makes Shushu\/Tong particularly compelling is its honest reflection of contemporary Chinese women\u2014playful yet self-assured, delicate yet full of vitality. \u2014Rocco Liu,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0China<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Moni.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"960\" height=\"1281\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    Photo: Moni Haworth<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Moni2.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"960\" height=\"1281\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>    Czech Republic:\u00a0Tom\u00e1\u0161 Vi\u0161\u0148ovsk\u00fd by Tom\u00e1\u0161 Vi\u0161\u0148ovsk\u00fd<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Prague<br \/>Founded:\u00a02018<\/p>\n<p>Slovak designer\u00a0Tom\u00e1\u0161 Vi\u0161\u0148ovsk\u00fd\u00a0is emerging as one of our region\u2019s most compelling new voices. Currently completing his studies at Prague\u2019s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, he combines precise tailoring with an exploration of historic dress, reinterpreting traditional garment forms through a contemporary lens. His collections balance technical skills with an emotional, narrative-driven approach, making him a standout talent to watch. \u2014Milena \u017duravljova,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Czech Republic<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tomas.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"639\" height=\"690\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    Photo: Tom\u00e1\u0161 Vi\u0161\u0148ovsk\u00fd<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tomas2.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"639\" height=\"690\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Tomas3.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"639\" height=\"690\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>    France:\u00a0Anthony Calydon by Anthony Calydon<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Paris<br \/>Founded:\u00a02023<\/p>\n<p>I see what\u00a0Anthony Calydon\u00a0is doing, and I find his work interesting and desirable. He launched his eponymous label out of Le Marais in Paris, and he\u2019s quietly building a devoted following on a singular vision: elevated streetwear, ribbed knitwear, jersey, and some denim. He\u2019s strong on accessories\u2014I loved his ribbed-knit tote bag this summer. Self-taught, he represents to me a new generation of young French designers building brands directly with their community, in control of their own narrative.\u00a0\u2014Claire Thomson-Jonville,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0France<\/p>\n<p>    Germany: Lou de B\u00e8toly by Lou de B\u00e8toly<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Berlin<br \/>Founded:\u00a02018<\/p>\n<p>Lou de B\u00e8toly\u00a0represents an extraordinary fusion of couture craftsmanship and sustainable innovation. Designer Od\u00e9ly Teboul (artist name: Lou de B\u00e8toly) transforms interesting materials, like vintage and deadstock, into unique haute couture pieces created entirely in-house. Traditional techniques\u2014such as embroidery, weaving, and knitting\u2014are translated into a contemporary and mostly feminine and sexy look. The resulting one-of-a-kind pieces demonstrate that sustainable fashion can be luxurious, glamorous, and artistic all at once. The international attention the label\u2014with orders from celebrities like Jennie and Cardi B\u2014has garnered underscores the relevance of this vision today. Lou de B\u00e8toly impressively demonstrates that a progressive aesthetic and craftsmanship can come together. \u2014Kerstin Weng,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Germany<\/p>\n<p>    Greece: 240791 by Eleni Kavvada<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Athens<br \/>Founded:\u00a02021<\/p>\n<p>Athens-born and Italy-educated Eleni Kavvada launched\u00a0240791\u2014named after her birth date\u2014as a deeply personal expression of her love for fashion. Her sculptural silhouettes, exaggerated volumes, couture craftsmanship, and the imaginative use of reclaimed and unconventional materials create an avant-garde lingo that translates into often one-of-a-kind, fluid creations. More recently, Kavvada introduced 240791 ready-to-wear, translating her conceptual take into more wearable garments. She is one of those rare designers who leaves you wondering where her creative imagination will take her next. What will 240791 look and feel like five years from now? I can\u2019t wait to find out. \u2014Elis Kiss,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Greece<\/p>\n<p>    Hong Kong: Kinyan Lam by Kinyan Lam<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Hong Kong<br \/>Founded:\u00a02023<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong designer\u00a0Kinyan Lam\u20142026 LVMH Prize semifinalist and one of Fashion Asia\u2019s \u201c10 Asian Designers to Watch\u201d\u2014brings something rare to the local scene: a quiet emotional depth and storytelling that feels almost radical against the louder, faster work around him. A graduate of the Hong Kong Design Institute and London College of Fashion, and trained in natural dyeing, Lam works under the principle of \u201cslow by design,\u201d collaborating closely with more than 60 female artisans in Guizhou, China, to gently revive and reimagine centuries-old botanical dyeing and hand-embroidery techniques. The result is a collection of refined, nature-inspired pieces that feel both ancient and entirely of the moment. Step into his studio or simply turn the pages of his delicately made brand book and you feel the weight of time and patience in every detail. In Lam\u2019s hands, cultural preservation becomes something living and wearable\u2014supporting rural communities while creating pieces rich in cultural narrative that are increasingly valued by both fashion insiders and high-end buyers. \u2014Simon Au,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Hong Kong<\/p>\n<p>    India: Taarini Anand by Taarini Anand<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Mumbai<br \/>Founded:\u00a02025<\/p>\n<p>Taarini Anand\u00a0launched her eponymous menswear label in 2025. Her love for hand-knitting\u2014learned over the years from her maternal grandmother and mother\u2014translates into fun and maximal designs that remain wearable, while shaking things out of predictability within the menswear space. With an emphasis on Indian hand-loom, embroidery, and weaving techniques, her largely gender-agnostic design language is global in its appeal while remaining true to its roots. Anand\u2019s ability to straddle the space between whimsical and practical makes hers a label to watch. \u2014Rochelle Pinto,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0India<\/p>\n<p>    Italy: Des Phemmes by Salvo Rizza<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Milan<br \/>Founded:\u00a02019<\/p>\n<p>Founded by Salvo Rizza in 2019,\u00a0Des Phemmes\u00a0is a Milan-based womenswear brand defined by its combination of Italian artisanal craftsmanship, couture techniques, and contemporary ready-to-wear. Textile experimentation, embroidery, and refined material research are central to its design approach, resulting in collections that balance decorative detail with functional silhouettes and everyday wearability. The label works closely with Italian manufacturers and artisans, placing particular emphasis on fabric development and hand-finished techniques. Before establishing the brand, Rizza graduated from Istituto Marangoni in Milan and gained experience at Giambattista Valli, where he developed an understanding of couture construction and embellishment. He later collaborated with Italian fashion houses including Max Mara, Emilio Pucci, and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, working across ready-to-wear collections. This professional background informs Des Phemmes\u2019s design language, which combines traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary approach to femininity and material innovation. \u2014Francesca Ragazzi,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Italia<\/p>\n<p>    Japan: Cobble Du by Rico Mori<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Tokyo<br \/>Founded:\u00a02024<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2024 by Rico Mori, a designer with a background in jewelry design,\u00a0Cobble Du\u00a0is a Japanese fashion label known for its sculptural, architectural silhouettes. The brand also publishes\u00a0RIPUBLIC,\u00a0a zine created in collaboration with a diverse range of artists and creatives. Most recently, Cobble Du was featured in the October issue of\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Japan as part of \u201cDesigners\u2019 Dialogue,\u201d in which Mori joined designer Julie Kegels for a conversation about the beauty of imperfection. With its distinctive design language and multidisciplinary approach, Cobble Du is quickly emerging as one of Japan\u2019s most closely watched fashion labels. \u2014Kazumi Asamura Hayashi,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Japan<\/p>\n<p>    Korea: Post Archive Faction by DongJoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Seoul<br \/>Founded:\u00a02018<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2018 by DongJoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong,\u00a0Post Archive Faction\u00a0is a brand that reimagines everyday garments through a futuristic lens.

Working with independent artisans across Poland, she incorporates crochet, hand-knitting, and embroidery into garments that celebrate the time, knowledge, and individuality held within handmade techniques. Rather than quoting folklore literally, she distills its textures, methods, and emotional memory into modern, quietly expressive silhouettes. Her work demonstrates how regional craft can be preserved as a living and evolving form of design. \u2014Ina Lekiewicz,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Poland<\/p>\n<p>    Portugal:\u00a0Arndes by Ana Rita de Sousa<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Porto, Portugal<br \/>Founded:\u00a02019<\/p>\n<p>Focused on craftsmanship\u00a0and sustainability, Ana Rita de Sousa, the name behind\u00a0Arndes, always wanted to express herself through uncanny silhouettes in textiles, making sure form and function were always in their sweet spot in the brand\u2019s designs. Committed to reducing waste by reusing deadstock fabrics or upcycling\u00a0staples, turning classics into fashion statements, this made in Portugal name is what any wardrobe that loves timeless pieces with a shot of design needs and wants.

Their commitment to upcycled and deadstock materials, their archival references that never tip into retro, and their passion for craftsmanship make us at\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Scandinavia fall in love with everything they make.

Drawing on her Javanese and Peranakan ancestry, she translates traditional dress and family heirlooms into a contemporary language shaped by sculptural construction and digital fabrication. Her work reflects the complexity of Singapore itself: culturally layered, technologically progressive, and connected to the wider region. Through her thoughtful negotiation of memory and material, Putri is helping to articulate a confident and original vision for Singaporean fashion. \u2014Desmond Lim,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Singapore<\/p>\n<p>    Spain:\u00a0Ernesto Naranjo by Ernesto Naranjo<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0Madrid<br \/>Founded:\u00a02018<\/p>\n<p>Spanish designer\u00a0Ernesto Naranjo\u00a0has been named a four-time finalist for the CFDA\/Vogue\u00a0Fashion Fund (2019, 2022, 2024, and the current 2026 edition). Born in Seville, he studied at Central Saint Martins and worked for prestigious labels such as Balmain (with Olivier Rousteing) and Maison Margiela (led by John Galliano) before setting up his eponymous brand. His experimental approach to patterns, craftsmanship, and draping is at the core of his design.

Instinctively, they\u2019ve hit a cord with a younger clientele and have been featured in\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s pages with smashing hot-girl summer looks that appear unapologetic and incredibly feminine. \u2014Venya Brykalin,\u00a0Vogue\u00a0Ukraine<\/p>\n<p>    United Kingdom:\u00a0Steve O Smith by Steve O Smith<\/p>\n<p>Based in: London<br \/>Founded:\u00a02022<\/p>\n<p>I first discovered\u00a0Steve O Smith\u00a0about a year ago in a small studio space in Paris, where he had set up shop for a few days during Fashion Week. His collection was displayed very simply on mannequins but seemed so vibrant and full of life nonetheless. The distinctive black-and-white brushstrokes made each of his neat skirt suits and dresses appear like miniature artworks\u2014such a fresh and modern way to do a painterly motif, especially for evening. I asked Smith if he would design something for me for this year\u2019s Met Gala, given the art theme, and the dress he made is easily one of the most unfussy yet exquisite looks that I\u2019ve ever worn on the red carpet. There\u2019s a playful, childlike quality about his work that\u2019s really compelling, but also something quite grown-up and elegant in the line of the clothes. That tension feels special and very true to British style. \u2014Chioma Nnadi,\u00a0British\u00a0Vogue<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-of-Steve-O-Smith.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"639\" height=\"690\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    Photo: Courtesy of Steve O Smith<\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-of-Steve-O-Smith2.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"639\" height=\"690\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Courtesy-of-Steve-O-Smith3.webp\" class=\"object-fit-cover\" width=\"639\" height=\"690\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>    United States:\u00a0Attersee by Isabel Wilkinson Schor<\/p>\n<p>Based in:\u00a0New York<br \/>Founded:\u00a02021<\/p>\n<p>Walking into the\u00a0Attersee\u00a0studio on the Upper East Side is like entering an elegant and special world. I try not to use the expression\u00a0jewel box,\u00a0but there is an element of being inside a box of beautiful chocolates with the atelier\u2019s custom walnut millwork. Isabel Wilkinson Schor\u2019s pieces marry elegance with ease in sumptuous fabrics\u2014techno satin and silk linen slub\u2014but restrained silhouettes. The clothes can be worn as an outfit head to toe or pulled piece by piece and mixed seamlessly into any existing wardrobe. My favorite pieces are the artist\u2019s jackets and whisper-thin cashmere T-shirts. \u2014Chloe Malle, American\u00a0Vogue<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The best part about working in fashion is discovering the incredibly diverse array of emerging designers out in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870523,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-870522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
