Every New Designer You Need to Know About in 2019

Style in 2019 is looking bright, with a crop of up-and-coming fashion designers turning out cool pieces that will be everywhere in the New Year. I, for one, am looking forward to adding some items from these talented new designers into my closet. So, which fresh labels do you need to know about in 2019?

From the French label I recently tried for myself to the Danish brand that's all over Instagram to the young designer who just took the helm at Bottega Veneta and many more, ahead I'm highlighting the cool labels that will be in everyone's closet next year. Go on to see why each of these is important to know about in 2019 and then shop pieces to start wearing now. I promise each of these brands will be defining fashion once the New Year arrives.

ROWEN ROSE

Even though it won't be available to buy until next year, French label Rowen Rose has already been gaining buzz across the internet. I personally couldn't wait to test the pieces and tried out its checked trousers and jacket for myself (see the photo below).

Here, I tried out an outfit from Rowen Rose for myself and have to say I'm quite the fan.

Cool fashion girls like Vanessa Hong and María Bernad have already been spotted wearing the designs.

ROTATE

Thora Valdimars and Jeanette Friis Madsen recently launched Copenhagen-based label Rotate, and it's already sweeping the fashion scene. Net-a-Porter picked it up, and we're spotting it in the closets of the cool fashion set.

DANIEL LEE FOR BOTTEGA VENETA

Bottega Veneta's new creative director, Daniel Lee, is the person everyone in fashion is watching right now. Coming from Celine under Phoebe Philo, he just released a Pre-Fall 19 collection echoing a similar sophistication and elegance. Across Instagram, fashion girls like Pernille Teisbaek have been sharing photos in anticipation of the drop next year.

Founded by Lauren Arapage and Joshua Shaub, Anemone is the just-launched swimwear brand everyone will be wearing in 2019. The designs are inspired by Kate Moss from the '90s—what more could a girl ask for?
