Danielle Scutt’s past three Spring/Summer Ready to Wear shows at London Fashion Week were different, and all absolutely amazing.  I love the short skirts, the cut outs, and the crazy hair and hair pieces!  This is definitely a designer worth paying attention to.

Hungarian’s Éva Nyíri’s recent graduate thesis collection isn’t for the delicate or faint of heart.

California-based footwear label Gee Wa Wa takes an architectural flair for its spring ’10 women’s collection.

I ran across the beautiful and colorful jewelry of Amanda Assad Mounser who is based in New York. Although fall/winter 2009 is her premiere collection, she has been working in fashion for the last five years. I love her take on the “multi-chain” look along with her use of color.

This great looking eco-friendly tote is made from cotton-hemp canvas and vegetable-tanned leather. I love the design! The brand name is actually fleabags and can be found on their website fleabg.com.

This shoe was made for lovin….talk about your “walking statement.” Like poetry in motion, this splatter design beauty was created by co-founders and long-standing friends Natalia Barbieri and Jennifer Portman. They set out to design exquisite and sophisticated footwear of luxurious quality. They certainly accomplished their goal! The line is called Bionda Castana and can be found on the website.

Originally from Tanzania, Africa, Twiga started as an art collector and shifted to creating this beautiful, bold wooden jewelry that’s been popping up all over magazine spreads, department stores, and museum shops. Twiga has also founded The Mbinga Children’s Organization, a non-profit that builds schools in Tanzania. Philanthropy and great, artistic jewelry? I think I’m in love. Check out more of her stuff on her site!

Based in London, Kerrie Luft designs shoes with an emphasis on novelty of materials and construction. Inspired by Art Nouveau she creates shoes that are wearable art.

Working with luxurious fabrics to create the ultimate fashions, Andy TheAnh isn’t stopping for anyone! You name it and he does it, pants, shirts, dresses, jackets, and all with their own sense of versatility. Coming straight from Canada, we’re lucky his designs have graced us with his presence.

Think business woman meets chic style and there you have it; high-end fashions that make everyone want to stop and stare.

A designer who finds antique pieces and transforms them into wearable art.

Margiela and Laugesen’s most promising apprentice brings avant guarde to the forefront with a second collection of covetable pieces.

Combining modern design, environmental friendliness, sustainability and social responsibility is Berlin based shoe company, Trippen. Stemming from timeless classics and short-lived trends, founders Michale Oehler and Angela Spieth have broken away from traditional footwear with their one-of-a-kind designs and constructions. With local, small production and competitive prices make even the pickiest ethical buyer go crazy over these funky finds. Unlike most designers who create a seasonal collection, Trippen’s existing styles remain  available with new designs added to the mix. With shops located throughout Europe and Asia, us USA buyers will have a tougher time getting our feet on Trippen shoes, but about 300€ (plus shipping of course) will take your kicks on a transatlantic journey to your doorstep!

Lena Criveanu has a strong point of view and she tells a story that is at time creepy yet beautiful with her Spring/Summer ‘09 collection.

Watch out Kirkwood, Louboutin, Blahnik…Chau Har Lee has you beat on all accounts, including innovation, design, and originality.

Thursday night at SoHo Grand Corey and I had the pleasure of meeting one of the designers from WUYORK, a completely fabulous line of bow ties out of New York.  These intricate designs can be worn by men and women, and are not just for the neck! We’ll be learning more about them very soon, but for now check out their site and see the S/S ‘09 Lookbook on Cult

So MTV has figured out how to replace Lauren Conrad. Her name is Jazmin, she has a fashion line, and she just might be the dumbest 20-year old in history.

Valou’s 3cap rings are making a huge appearance in the world of fashion lately, and being picked up by all sorts of fashion and music peeps: Dirk Mai (the first to wear this amazing ring), LIGHTS, Demi Lovato, Audrey Kitching, Nick Santino from A Rocket To The Moon, and Mandy Jiroux..and those were only the ones I could find photos of!  The mens rings run around $175, and the women’s $125, but it’s way worth it for the statement you’ll be making with this ring.  Definitely a cooler alternative to the over the knuckle two and three fingered rings everyone is wearing lately, if you wear a Valou ring, you’re sure to be asked about it.

Head over to the site to purchase a ring and find out about sizing, there isn’t much info on the designer, but if you know Fashion Indie at all, we’ll investigate it and get your more information (maybe even an interview!) as soon as we can. 

Here’s some photos of people we love rocking Valou 3caps:
