● Strateas Carlucci (Melbourne) – Peter Strateas & Mario-Luca Carlucci established their progressive, provocative brand in 2013. Each of their collections has been informed by diverse themes to produce minimalistic clothing while telling a non-minimalistic story.
● Snow Xue Gao (NYC) – Gao makes couture garments out of her studio in New York and recently presented her SS17 collection at the 2016 Parsons MFA show garnering wide praise and the interest of Rihanna.
● Daniëlle Cathari (Amsterdam) – in her third year at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, Cathari will be showing her very first collection on VFILES Runway which she says was born of finding balance between the emotional and the rational as manifested by her blending of tailored suits and sportswear.
