If we asked you to name some asian fashion designers can you name any? Whilst we love extremely well known brands such as Bottega, Gucci, Fendi etc. it’s important that we spotlight the asian designers that are making waves within the fashion industry. By supporting these emerging asian designers, you’ll be promoting inclusivity and giving these designers a voice within the industry.

The fashion industry is shifting paradigms and we are slowly seeing more asian brands creating an impact and setting new trends for major figures. For example, Adidas have recently collaborated with the likes of Yohji Yamamoto and Bape to create one of their most popular sub-brands, the Y-3 and Adidas x Bape collection. If we were to sat here and listed all of the fashion trends started by these brands we’d be here all day!

Below we have highlighted some of our favourite emerging asian designers and some pieces that we think deserve a place in your wardrobe this season.
