More and more celebrities are wearing works by upcoming fashion designers to A-list events and premiers. Among the haute couture brigade on the red carpet, fashion icons and media are looking for new names and upcoming international brands. As many fashionistas are coming to terms with diversity in fashion and embracing different ethnicities as part of their ensemble, many designers are encouraged by the trend to move past the local market and blossom internationally.
