| |  | | Now, everyone can present their work on the web, it’s just a matter of finding the platform that suits your needs, where you feel at home and find the right audience. That’s our goal! So join the Who's Next Blog Community, post your creations online and share with everyone a rich and playful vision of fashion, beyond style divides. This summer will be devoted to sun-tanning, having girls laugh and beer drinking… but we’ll also take advantage of this time to enlarge our designer community. As soon as September, we’ll start promoting the site and designers - you!- among the fashion community. It's free and simple!
And just like at home, the site needs tidying up, so as to present the best of tomorrow’s fashion. To do so, we’ll only keep the most original and inventive creations… See you on the site in a few days to see the results! From now on, the creations will also have to be approved by the Who’s Next Blog central comity before being posted online. All this to provide professionals with the best fashion offer. | |

| | The site has been online for a month and some really cool creations have already impressed my colleagues. | |

| |
| |  | | BELLE SAUVAGE // UK
Behind Belle sauvage, an Argentinean-Luxembourg couple based in London working together to design graphic creations mixing different styles. "Our garments are our drawings, paintings and illustrations - our art. When the Belle Sauvage woman wears our garments, this art comes to life. The woman brings the canvas of art to life, without leaving the everyday streetwear functionality behind".

| |  | | BUTIKOFER // Canada
Adrienne Butikofer, 28 years old, has been indie-designing in Toronto since 2004- mostly on offs and small runs. Fall 2008 will be the first full collection. The brand’s mandate is to simply "create cool, wearable, beautiful clothing for the modern Canadian young woman." Inspiration is drawn from history, nature, and things that make the designer’s heart gasp, swell, and swoon. Big up for Toronto!

| |  | | NDEUR // Canada
NDEUR was founded in 2007 when Parisian artist Mathieu Missien arrived in Canada. In Toronto, he started developing the idea of creating his own graphic style on women’s shoes with unique designs and hand-crafted patterns from oil-based paint. The new collection is focused on using all kind of graphic tribal patterns and floral composition, which gives birth to a nice mix of classic-modern style. Toronto again!

| |  | | SUPERHORSTJANSEN // Germany
To start with, thank you to Superhorst – Germany / Hamburg- for covering the site with lascivious and provocative girls. In their Basic-Collection they set their main focus on sporty, sexy-looking Streetwear which is so comfortable to wear that you never wanna take it off again. They also focus on ethical values like friendship and honesty in an industry which is full of wannabees and ego-trippin´people.

Name Ribbon is a wiggly design collective created by French Crisp and Waspy Steven and a host of enablers called 'Famous NAMES'.

Zuzana is a fashion-design student in Prague, Czech Republic, and has been designing her own creations for three years. Her latest creations, under the name "Icelandic Dotted Dream", were made during her internship-year in Reykjavik.

| |  | | Tradition dating back to the 19th century and going strong into the 21st. Ball culture is an underground subculture in the United States in which people "walk" (i.e. compete) for trophies and prizes at events known as balls. Let's take a closer look to the mid-to-late 1980s and the Paris Is Burning Documentary which is all about the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, as well as a thoughtful exploration of race, class, and gender in America. | |
