    With new designers emerging all the time it's hard to know who to actually bother watching, right? So, below is a little list of the ones we at Team MC actually look forward to seeing.

    An Alexis Barrell design


    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?
