Seven Designers to Watch at New York Fashion Week

If Gigi Hadid wears your crop top, does international stardom follow? Not exactly, but Tia Adeola is off to a very promising start. The London-born designer (who’s barely old enough to order wine in America) mixes spice-dusted shades with flirty shapes and knows just how to style them. But what’s worth noting is they look just as good on non-Hadids… aka women who aren’t basically Helen of Troy.

“The Veronicas” are a band and a likely Riverdale plot line. But they’re also Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard, two sisters-in-law who created their very own dream wardrobe a decade ago. Already known in the circles (and closets) of working women who want to look great, Veronica Beard celebrates their 10-year-anniversary “with a runway show [that will] be a special way to bring our clothes to life in a way we haven’t been able to do in the past.”

The author of several neon pouf pieces, this fabric artist was Parsons 2016 designer of the year for his collection of performative outfits that screamed Versailles-but-broken (but wait, Versailles is the definition of broken…). After last year’s “Spooky Couture” show–which was actually a ballet–we’re eager to see how his outsize vision translates (or doesn’t) into a fashion week format.
