Here's WWD's rundown of the designers: Antonio Azzuolo; Arielle Shapiro of Ari Dein; Ben and Doug Burkman of Burkman Brothers; Christian Cota; Emanuela Duca; Ricky Hendry and Marc Daniels of Isaora; Luis M. Fernandez of Number:Lab; Reece Solomon of Reece Hudson; Maayan Zilberman and Nikki Dekker of The Lake & Stars, and Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein of Timo Weiland. [WWD, subscription req'd]
