With London Fashion Week wrapping up, we\u2019ve selected 9 emerging designers that are set to do interesting things in 2018; whether that\u2019s through collabs, deconstructing gender, reclaiming deadstock, exploring their heritage or funding their labels with a club night. From more established names already working with big industry players and showing at major fashion weeks, to very new faces, here are our names to watch this year.<\/p>\n
The 26 year old founder of A-COLD-WALL has come a long way from making knock-off Nike<\/a> and Adidas clothing to sell to friends. Ross\u2019 route into fashion was unconventional – he studied graphic design at university, then managed to secure a job with Virgil Abloh, working as his creative assistant for two and a half years. To say the designer is multi-talented is putting it mildly, as well as clothing he\u2019s made furniture, films, installations and music. His 2018 trajectory is set to be interesting – his \u2018experimental collaboration\u2019 with sunglasses brand Oakley has already previewed at Slam Jam\u2019s Spazio Maiocchi Showcase, plus in late January he teased<\/a> a new collab with Abloh\u2019s OFF-WHITE label.<\/p>\nSupriya Lele<\/h3>\n
