5 Underrated Fashion Designers you need to check out!
Fashion is something very close to my heart and pretty sure most of your guys' too. Since I was a little girl I've been obsessed with fashion and I always wanted to be a fashion designer. Fast forward to the present, the idea o being a fashion designer doesn't sound so bad still, but there's a long way to go to actually become one ( and you never know when I'll change my mind). So, till I become a celebrity fashion designer (yes, a celebrity fashion designer, and I'm not settling for any less), I researched some amazing fashion designers, which are so underrated (doesn't mean they don't make outfits for extremely popular celebs), and deserve to be known worldwide.Let's take a look.

Phoenix Keating launched his Australian-based label in 2009, when he was just 17. His collection experienced huge success. His debut collection caught the eyes of Lady Gaga's stylists.
Lady Gaga wore 2 outfits from Phoenix's second collection and due to this his brand became even more successful. He too said,"I owe a lot to Lady Gaga".

In 2012 Keating was invited for Mercedes-Benz Fashion week in Australia and in April 2104 he was nominated for International Woolmark Prize. He was the youngest designer to be nominated since Karl Lagerfeld.
Phoenix Keating's designs are very powerful and sophisticated at the same time. Each design is so unique and extraordinary. I mean just look at them.

Using only circles and lines is her signature. She's known for her bold and powerful use of geometric designs and incorporating modern with traditional Japanese patterns.
She also tries to translate scents that awaken memories into her patterns! Isn't that amazing!?
Her designs are mostly Kimonos with a touch of modern.

Japanese Fashion Designers are one of my favorites. Japan itself is such a beautiful land full of colour and kawaii duh! Tsumori Chisato is an amazing, talented designer of Japan who has turned her inspiration from the colours and cultures of Japan into lovely pieces of art.
She might be one of my favorite out of this lot. Her garments are just so colourful and expressive, it's all like a beautiful dream.

She has a large following just for her prints, most are hand painted, some are watercolor, some hand drawn by pencil and some are digital renderings. Her inspiration is the colourful life of Japan and her garments are fun and expressive.
Her garments might be extremely colorful but they also have that touch of sophistication. In my opinion, her garments have a nice ladylike look and they all seem to be so meaningful.
Her garments truly look like something off of a wonderland.
