One of the Big Four “Fashion Capitals of the World,” New York City is where cutting edge fashion designers call home. The city is buzzing during New York Fashion Week and beyond, with up-and-comers making names for themselves by seeing and being seen in the fashionable city. New names like Telfar, LaQuan Smith, Emmaline Kuo, and Pyer Moss all have outposts in NYC. With the New York Times dubbing 2020 the “Year of Telfar,” the Queens designer Telfar Clemens — most known for his “Shopping Bag” design — is one local designer whose quick rise to fame should not missed.
