As Central Saint Martins, the prestigious college attended by the likes of Sarah Burton, Stella McCartney and Giles Deacon, showed off its students' creations during the annual graduatefashion show this week, here are some up and coming designers (already on the scene) that you just have to know about. So, listen up, fashion fans!

Alexis Barrell South African designer Alexis Barrell has been on in-the-know fashion peeps' radars for a few seasons. With laid back glamorous pieces in gorgeous fabrics and prints, she's definitely gaining more mainstream momentum now. The American Vogue team were in her showroom at the same time as us. Need we say anymore?

Claire Barrow Super cool painted leather is her thing, with a touch of distressed denim. She epitomises East End cool. And she custom-made a jacket for Rihanna, which is, quite frankly, just awesome.
