EMILIA WICKSTEAD

Years before Emilia Wickstead's dresses became a favorite on the red carpet, she began her training alongside her mother – a bespoke womenswear designer in their native New Zealand. In 2011, she showed her first collection at London fashion week and quickly garnered a following for her modern, ladylike aesthetic. Worn by a diverse collective of stars – from Alexa Chung to the Duchess of Cambridge – the designer's elegant dresses and separates are recognizable for their sumptuous fabrics and sophisticated color palette. -Emilia Wickstead
