From London to Lebanon, we've rounded up the emerging designers making waves in the fashion industry and filling our Pinterest boards with endless inspiration.

Our Instagram feeds are saturated with clothing brands, and depop designers, who, largely copy each other in an endless spiral of lacklustre reproductions. It can be hard to cut through the noise sometimes, and recognise where true creativity lies.

So we've rounded up 10 designers you NEED to know about, each of them boundary pushing, innovative and inspiring.

The emerging designers you need to know

Masha Popova

Described as an 'exciting, young denimologist' by Vogue. Popova is a Ukrainian born London based womenswear designer best known for her wearable high-fashion denim designs that fuse fantasy with childhood memories.

Her most recent collections have been inspried by petrolheads, and could be seen as existing in the same universe as Diesel's distressed denim collections, but much cooler. For the first time she incorporated menswear into her designs.

Collina Strada

One of the oldest brands on this list, but still young in fashion years is Collina Strada, launched in Los Angeles in 2008 by designer Hillary Taymour. Described as "part of a new generation of fashion brands choosing community and sustainability over scale" the brand uses deadstock fabric and natural dyes to create their eclectic patterns.

Their latest collection (SS24) used AI as a tool for creativity, feeding their previous collections into the machine, Taymour and the AI developed a uniquely Collina-esque collection that celebrated their maximalist aesthetic.

Dilara Findikoglu

Turkish-born designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu knows how to create an escapist universe through her iconoclastic designs. The CSM graduate has an eye for fantastical gothic romance, that has gained her fans like Bimini Bon Boulash, Iris Law, Paloma Elessor and Bella Hadid.

This spirit of anarchy deeply informed her fashion shows: the first collection took place in a strip club, the second in a church. In a world where nothing seems to surprise us anymore, Findikoglu always does.

Raga Malak

Founded by friends Gadir Rajab and Raquelle Saba, this now Australian-based brand was originally conceptualised in 2019 in Lebanon.

Often the pair hire Lebanese videographers and models to shape the creative of their campaigns ensuring the brand continues playing on the "hybrid identities and the complexities of the common alienation that immigrant children face".

Their inaugural collection features, now-famed eponymous slogan tees, corset tops, lace dresses, trucker hats and barely-there bikinis.
