Participating in London Fashion Week is not a luxury but a necessity for any emerging brand aiming to go global. It's your ticket to the world of international fashion. - Katie England, Creative Director of Topshop and curator of the New Generation program

I knew I needed help, so I put an ad in MySpace. A woman named Beth responded and I met her for an interview at a coffee shop. As we talked I realized she had all the skills I didn't have. She had a design degree. She had business savvy and technical skills. And she was wildly smart and more importantly, kind.

Our role is, first and foremost, to transmit our fascination with a craft and to ignite that same excitement in the designer. This is the foundation of our curatorial approach: creating the right encounter between a designer's universe and that of a workshop.

Despite having to haul a dozen dumpster-loads of damaged goods out of the offices and the nearby Lab Store, to the tune of $1.5 million, Eileen said at the time, 'It was just stuff.'

In 1994, when the grunge aesthetic gripped the nation (chokers, combat boots), the make-up artist Heidi Morawetz created Le Vernis Rouge Noir.

What if I took my design lens and built out my essentials capsule for the Everlane customer? I felt like that would be a really amazing opportunity for me to introduce myself as a designer to an audience outside of EB Denim.

Celestial giants dot our night sky, impossibly heavy and yet seemingly weightless as they continue on their cosmic paths. Building on that sense of wonder, TF Design, founded by designer Tina Frey, unveiled the Orbit Collection in Bronze at Design Miami this year, translating celestial movement into sculptural form and grounding cosmic scale in tactile human-made objects. Originally released in colored resin at 3daysofdesign in 2023, this new take is inspired by balance and interconnectedness.

The bag is crafted from genuine translucent leather in a pale, almost golden yellow that does a convincing job of mimicking the cooked skin of a steamed dumpling. The leather is soft and smooth to the touch, and because it's translucent, you can see straight through to the canvas lining inside. That lining is printed with images of chopped vegetables and filling, creating a visual illusion that's almost unsettling in the best possible way.

Diamonds may be forever, but popular styles come and go. Celebrities can spark interest- toi et moi rings saw a major resurgence when Megan Fox shared a picture of her diamond-and-emerald engagement ring from then-fiance Machine Gun Kelly in 2022; marquise diamonds saw a spike thanks to Selena Gomez; and more recently, Taylor Swift's vintage styles sparked a major interest in vintage.

These brands specialize in just that: pieces created by hand to your exacting designs and specifications, and never to be replicated. Maybe you're looking for top-of-the-range headphones to match your jet. Or could it be a suit for a pirate-esque get together? Or even an engraved signet ring, depicting a favored holiday destination in full color? For all of the above and more, here's who Elite Traveler recommends.
