If there's one thing we'll never stop buying, it's timeless yet modern pieces we can wear regardless of seasons or trends. Australian womenswear designer Christopher Esber is well aware of this, which is why his feminine pieces are grounded in classic menswear tailoring and devoid of unnecessary embellishment.
His mastery of this casual, refined aesthetic won him the International Woolmark Prize in 2014. He then debuted his Fall/Winter 2017 collection at New York Fashion Week. Read on to learn more about this budding contemporary designer.

“I was always a quiet child, in my own world and drawing and my auntie was a seamstress so I learned a lot of technical things from her from a young age. After high school, I jumped into fashion, studied design then immediately started my own brand. I knew I wanted my own business so I could be creative and dictate what people wear. It excites me seeing someone on the street wearing one of my designs.”
2. His collections are heavily inspired by '90s pop culture, like Michael Jackson
