Because the designers in this book are emerging and mostly young, you will probably not recognize them. However, you are still inspired by the great photos and illustrations in this book. The creations are superb and a true testament to creativity and originality. You can see them pay some homage to past designers but each piece is unique. Schiffer does a great job of publishing books that dive deeper into the creativity of the artisans and artists they are showcasing. Linking inspiration to creation. Great for those who are thirsting for more fashion and more great designs. I only hope to see some of these great collections come to life. And if they have where can I find them?

I always like to see what's up and coming in the fashion industry. With Emerging Fashion Designers 3, you get to see some of the emerging fashion design from newly graduated students. I love how they were pulled from around the country and showcased in this book. I found myself getting pretty excited about some of these. My absolute favorite was from Cari Ann Brezina. I loved how it she took her inspiration for her kids line from Maurice Sendak; he is one of my favorite children's authors who I read to my class every year. I also loved Maru Jung. Her orange and brown combinations were some of the most imaginative I've seen in a long time. I can't wait to see where I can purchase some of these awesome clothes.
