Paris Fashion Week (September 23rd- October 1st) hosts first step designers: Christian Stone, Occhi, MARRKNULL, Nadya Dzyak and Baserange.

Christian Stone is a London based designer who graduated from Central Saint-Martins two years ago. Christian Stone, his public name and name brand, is inspired by cyberpunk and the digital culture. He is making our future dresscode. In an interview for Coeval magazine.com he states : "My aim is to genetically alter the code of garment making almost like treating clothes like biochemical toys. I mess them around with unconventional materials, and I deconstruct them, put them back together in the most conceptual yet considerate ways. "

Occhii, a New York-based line brand, who shares the same need for imperfection and deconstruction as Christian Stone, uses sustainability-oriented design practices, recycled fabrics, and sources rejected shawls from Russia’s Pavlov Posad Shawl Manufactory, labeled “industrial waste”. These shawls have imperfections, accidental pigment stains, misaligned prints, and other defects that occurred during the standardized production process. Occhii repurposes the shawls into unique pieces of clothing, where no two pieces are identical. Each "One of One" item by Occhii is individually laid out and cut by hand in the Occhii Studio and finished in New York's Garment District.
