Vogue USA - 10.2019

Meet the 2019 Forces of

Fashion: 12 designers from

11 of the world’s most

exciting design houses,

from first-name-only

legends to breakout stars.

Though they may vary vastly

in age and experience, they

are united by the strength

of their individual visions.

Here, these upcoming

Forces speakers share in

their own words what is

most important to them—

and how they see the future

of fashion. By Lynn Yaeger.

The beauty of the world

we’re living in today is

that it’s more fluid. And

the beauty of being an

independent brand is

that you’re more flexible—

you’re not stuck to this

rigid way of doing

things.—JACK McCOLLOUGH

We want people to wear

the clothes—you’ve

got to be able to access it,

to covet it, to buy it.

—LAZARO HERNANDEZ
