The 5 Most Anticipated Designers In 2016

The fashion circle in 2015 can be said to be changing.

Brands are worried about declining performance, and many of them are closing down. Fashion designers' job hopping and leaving are much more than ever before. From the beginning of the year, Alessandro Michele took office as GUCCI design director, and then Raf Simons suddenly left Dior, and Alber Elbaz and LANVIN broke up, Alexander Wang resigned...

After the year turned out, it was also rumoured that Hedi Slimane would leave Saint Laurent, but fortunately it was denied by the brand.

With frequent personnel changes, some people are constantly questioning the meaning of fashion week two times a year.

Among the countless uncertainties, there is no doubt that the fashion industry will usher in more industry changes in 2016.

As the frontiers of fashion change, designers' every move may trigger a small chain reaction. Here are the ten most noteworthy designers in 2016, and why they are worthy of attention.

At the same time, we are waiting to see who is qualified to fill the vacancies in Dior and LANVIN.

Kate Spade

This Kate Spade is not the other Kate Spade.

As a designer, Kate Spade will launch a brand new Frances Valentine with her husband Andy and partner Elyce Arons in February this year.

This is the first since Kate left the same brand in 2007.

And accessories, the price will be higher than the Kate Spade, the style is "simple and modern", it is said that there is a "familiar, healthy, but some weird, colorful American style", the production is in Spain and Italy.

In those days, three people founded Kate Spade together, and accumulated many experience in the industry.

This is a real expectation.

Jonathan Saunders

In 2015, Jonathan Saunders was also abruptly departing, and he announced in December that he left his personal name.

The next job is for investors and CEO.

And his whereabouts also made people daydream because of the words of Bryan boy. The latter said that Saunders is likely to join Dior. "He has participated in the interview of LVMH group for creative director."

And will there be any trends in Jonathan Saunders and Dior during the fashion week February? We will also pay close attention to this.

Raf Simons

Last year's biggest blockbuster was Raf Simons's resignation to Dior.

The Belgian said, "I want to focus on other interesting things in my life, such as my personal brand, and focus on those hobbies that make me choose to quit."

There is no doubt that the personal brand of Raf Simons will usher in a round of expansion, and the expectant women's wear line may also appear.

Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez

As the head of Proenza Schouler, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are familiar with the way of balance between design and business, and keep the "Internet thinking" with the times.

Last year, the brand sold a minority stake to Boston Private Equity Firm Castanea Partners, and authorized L'OREAL to develop perfume business.

It is expected that in 2016, two people will open a lot of new stores, expand new categories, and perhaps bring a gorgeous fashion show.
