What's the best way to predict the future? At least in fashion circles, it involves a lot of watching. Watching the schools that turn out the brightest and the best design students every year. Watching the direction, fabric choices, colorways, line. These are the elements of fashion, and can help our culture to absorb what is to come . Europe has always been ahead of the United States, in fashion. We have been influenced by European fashion from the very first fashionplate sent over to the colonies so that American women would see what was being worn in the courts of Europe. Nowadays, we do our royal watching, but added to that is the element of surprise. Pick up a copy of "Europe Rising Fashion Designers" by Patrick Gottelier to see the intriguing point of view of some of the best talent emerging from the best design schools. Europe gives the fashion world innovation, theory, color. The schools chosen by Mr. Gottelier for his subject matter are the very ones that gave us John Galliano and Alexander McQueen. What better ruler to use to measure innovation, originality, and concept? Get this book for every student of fashion, every editor, every blogger writing about fashion in the contemporary scene on your list. They will love you for your eye, and value your gift above all others. Well, unless it's a pair of Louboutins.

I've always like to try to keep up on the latest fashion trends. I search the web and watch fashion shows. When I saw the European Fashion book, I was so excited to see what was trending in Europe. It was full of designs from up and coming designers and I loved them all. I found that I even searched several designers to see if I could purchase anything locally yet. I also found it interesting to learn where they got their inspiration from. Two of my favorites were Hannah Cumming and Adam Crooks. Their designs were so elegant. If you know someone who is into fashion, you have to get them this book. I highly recommend it!

Fashion is a big part of my life. I've always been fascinated with fashion trends and try to emulate some in my everyday outfits. This book helps us discover current and emerging trends in European fashion design. This book is full of gorgeous photographs and sketches! This book features premier work by
93 students at top schools. The fashions presented here are sure to inspire all readers! I love that the book gives a background on each designer's inspiration for their work. It's wonderful to have that information in order to see where their creativity sparks from! This book is great to keep on your coffee table to keep guests entertained and to start up conversation! I plan to use some of the inspiring fashions in this book to integrate into my wardrobe!

Here at Whom You Know, we love, love, LOVE fashion! We also, love, love, LOVE great books! Well, thanks to Schiffer Publishing, we get to enjoy a fantastic book about fashion! Europe: Rising Fashion Designers provides a terrific look at current trends as well as emerging trends in European fashion design. Featured in the book are 93 up-and-coming fashion designers from Europe's elite fashion schools, as well as the stories behind the inspiration for their work. As fashion is an inherently visual field, the book also boasts some 490 gorgeous color photos. It is an interesting and enjoyable read, and provides fascinating insight into what makes these designers tick, and what we can expect from them in the coming years. It's exciting to be able to see the creativity and passion with which these young designers work, and bodes well for the future of fashion, for sure! Europe: Rising Fashion Designers is definitely a must-read for anyone interested in fashion, and would also make a terrific gift for a fashion-conscious friend. I'm looking forward to revisiting the book in years to come and following the careers of these talented new designers!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
