As an editor, it's part of my job to know what's new and next in fashion. Part of that comes down to the big trends that are in the pipeline for the upcoming season and the best buys worth adding to your cart. Another part involves being a scout for the coolest up-and-coming brands that are worth having on your radar. Whether I'm discovering them on social media over Instagram and TikTok, at runway shows during fashion week, or from tips via the most in-the-know fashion people, I'm always on the hunt for the newest talent.
So, which brands are poised to be the next big thing now? Ahead, see eight cool brands that I'm expecting are going to blow up soon. From one of the most talked-about debut runway shows of the season to Elsa Hosk's recently launched collection to the brand designed by a Gucci alum, these are the ones to know.
Milan-based brand Des_Phemmes is one to have on your radar, especially as we head into the holiday season. Its take on celebration-worthy pieces involves hyper-embellished skirts and dresses finished with paillettes, 3D florals, and crystal-embroidered velvet—all items I already know will be the coolest pieces on this year's party circuit.

Interior was one of the standout show of the S/S 23 season, which is especially noteworthy because it was the brand's debut runway show. The designs are a fusion of grunge, goth glam and classic elegance with pieces like raw-hem sweaters and sheer lace gowns. Mark my words: Interior is the next designer brand to know.

Founded by former fashion editor, Isabel Wilkinson Schor, NYC-based brand Attersee is one to keep a close eye on. High-quality craftsmanship and materials are core to the brand, making their timeless staples and elevated essentials pieces the ultimate take on low-key luxury.

Sure, a lot of celebrities have been launching their own brands and not all of them live up to the hype, but Helsa, launched by Elsa Hosk, is one to pay attention to. The collection includes wardrobe staples inspired by her Scandinavian heritage that are timeless building-block pieces meant to withstand the trends. If you can't get some of the already sold-out items, now is the time to add yourself to the waiting list.
