Neil Barrett
Barrett is a leader of the deconstruction movement in menswear - surely the most influential trend of the decade - because his garments fuse classical tailoring with directional technology.
The number-one Neil Barrett style is treating fabrics as if they've been lived in; "Instinct told me to do this. Men don't want to look as if they've just walked off a runway." says Barrett.

Michel Perry
Michel Perry is a self taught Paris designer influenced by English "pop-rock" culture and humor, the decadent beauty of Venice and the libertine spirit of 18th century franc. He takes all those sources of inspirations and updates them to be the urban, built-up 21st century with a sense of humor, irony and theater.
"Mixing older elements and styles but also transporting them into the future, by using the spirit and technology of today," is how Perry explains his outlook.

The designer has concentrated solely on the design and production of hand finished ladies and men's bags.

Les Hommes
The idea behind their Autumn/Winter collection is a unification of opposites and contradiction, which really starts to work once brought together. The silhouettes and architectural trashed up by opposites and forms; razor-sharp yet elegant and poetic. It’s about adding the reinvention of the classical clothing while respecting old tailoring principles.
Biba
Much more than just homage, the new Biba embraces a deeply modern aesthetic with the boldness of spirit and innovative design that characterized the label in its heyday.
With the Autumn/Winter collection, we see vibrant prints mixed against earthy tones of mauve and aubergine, pale rose and grey. Crisp aspects of tailoring against embellished transparencies create demure, desirable styles, severe but daring.

Cacharel
Cacharel’s winter collection style is all about being an eastern European outdoors chic. The fabric itself is the decorative element: techno weaves, translucence and nylon cellophane. The shapes are simple, but embellished by strange tucks and pleats; with murky color such as zinc, steal, bronze and shadowy blues. Patent accessories in chick hiking boot, travelling totes and rucksacks
Corto Moltedo's Handbags
Corto Moltedo’s FW07/08 collection enchants by making our soul fly back to a nostalgic time. Reminiscent of growing up listening to Guns n’ Roses, with a baroque look and feel to it.
The Corto N’ Roses print is in black veal, petrol velvet or gold velvet embossed with roses skulls and thorns with rose-shaped studs and Priscilla in black veal. In addition to other beautiful designs made in Napa leather.

Day Birger et Mikkelsen
DAY BIRGER et MIKKELSEN was to be a clothing brand with the main challenge to create design with personality that put a bit of party in every DAY dressing, for work or play.
The inspiration behind the lifestyle collections is a mixture of the ethnic cultures, modern classics and vintage clothes picked up at flea markets in Paris, London and New York. DAY is a sophisticated everyday styling, which demands the tension between prêt a porter and seasonal flavors which appeals to women.
Cris Barros
Barely four years in the market, Cris Barros has already become a reference for elegant women who want to dress in a distinguished, creative style. Its creations sport an apparent simplicity, but reveal a wealth of details and forms that are carefully built in special fabrics and surprising finishing.
Cris creates clothes that express her feelings and draws inspiration from experiences felt as she works on the collection. The designer also resorts to old memories and trips, people she met, and her passion for fashion and art. Her collections include several options which can be coordinated, encouraging women to compose customized, creative looks.
Blayde
Trosman
Based on the lands of Buenos Aires, a location as exotic and non-conventional as her breakthrough designs.
Designer Jessica Trosman develops her line mixing deep avant-garde and almost rebellious pieces with a sort of antique chicness, she designs with a “plastic surgeon’s” approach combining a wide variety of materials and processes, where elements such as feathers, plants, beads and photographs are married with paint, canvas and vintage jewellery.
