Fashion Newcomers
Last year introduced us to some of the fashion newcomers to keep an eye out for in 2014. This year, we'll be focused on the rising career of Stella Jean, the protégée of Giorgio Armani and one of last season's most talked about labels. Also on our ones to watch list is Sophia Webster, whose feminine, quirky, candy-colored shoes flew off shelves faster than its stockists could meet the demand. In the model world, Malaika Firth is set for even bigger and better things in 2014 with a Prada and Burberry campaign under her belt from the previous year.
