Berny Demore
The Berny Demore Spring/Summer 2008 collection is all about elegant and edgy pumps all bear discreet details of the underwater world: Seaweed, moray eels or tiger fish meet your typical deck shoes and beach sandals. Much like a summer on the deck of an anchored ship, these shoes illuminate the evening skies with a dash of craziness.

Zucca
Onozuka treats his design process as an experiment in a three-dimensional art form, with functionality one among several goals. He finds his inspirations from things he sees and feels through his travels, books and art. What he most cherishes in the creation of his collection is the process itself, and the development and evolution that come along with it.

Searching for a creative outlet, Scott Stephen constructed jewellery pieces from remnants of Chanel tweeds and boucles. Scott handcrafts each of his pieces with materials such as netting, glass, wood, leather and tra¬ditional Scottish Harris tweeds; ‘I gather materials and push them beyond their conventional characteris¬tics. I’m rarely happy with each component unless I’ve spent hours creating it.’

Anna Sui
Anna Sui symbolizes boho-chic. At age four, Sui decided she wanted to become a designer and this quest led her to start making her own clothes before pursuing a degree at Parson's School of Design and launching her own company in 1980. Summer/Spring season is an eclectic vision ranging from black and white bubble dresses to tunic dresses in explosively colorful prints.
Disaya
The collection is a fusion of soft feminity but adding the concept of optical illusion with images of hearts and tiny creatures to form larger prints of barbed wire and pulse rate graphs. The designs made with luxurious and lightweight summer fabrics of silk cotton, chiffon and satin to complete a young, fresh and girlish collection.
Nicole Brundage
Revelling in description such as 'devilishly ladylike' and 'sensually seductive', Nicole Brundage is not the creator of ordinary footwear.
Brundage distinct style combines elements of extreme modernity with unexpected references to ancient cultures and crafts. This love of contrast is not only her inspiration, but also in her choice of materials and textures.

Martin Margiela Menswear
Martin Margiela is not synonymous with deconstructed understatement, but he is not far from it either. Martin stands at the forefront of the "Antwerp 6", a revolutionary fashion movement that has forever changed design and continues to evolve and produce innovative designs that will forever be respected.
The physical Margiela label is discreet, even cryptic: just three rows of numbers, from zero to 23, with the "10" circled for hand-reconstructed garments for men or the "14" for more basic menswear. Number "11" refers to accessories for men, and "22" for Shoes.
