5 Up and Coming Independent Designers

A couple weeks ago I talked about why you might want to consider checking out indie designers instead of always going for the predictable trends and big brand names. Well, I thought it might be useful to get you started with a quick rundown of ten up and coming designers on Shopflick you won’t want to miss.

popomomo

What We Love
Soft fabrics and an eco-friendly vibe, this California line is like an earthy, sustainable best friend for American Apparel.

Favorite Designs
The sunny macrame wrap around tee ($48) and lime-y gathered jersey dress (on sale for $88)

Pricepoint
Affordable enough that it defies the stigma some people have about organic fashion being outrageously expensive – most items range from $50-$150.

Sublet Clothing

What We Love
Romantic sillouettes and comfy fabrics make this the perfect line of dresses and casualwear for the hip girly-girl.

Favorite Designs
Every girl needs a cozy black dress like the Beth Dress ($139) for a casual date night but I also would love to have a sporty Bellamy Tee ($72) in my closet too.

Pricepoint
You won’t break the bank stocking up on super feminine Sublet, but most items are closer to the $100-200 range.

Erika Hendrix

What We Love
Simple, subtle limited edition pieces are Erika’s expertise. You won’t find a lot of mass produced items, but you will find your next favorite piece for Fall.

Favorite Designs
The Flowy Tank Top Dress (on sale for $64), Royal Blue Cardigan (on sale for $32) and the quirky Purple Bow Brooch Hairclip ($21).

Pricepoint
You can get great deals right now with almost everything on sale, but even at full price most items are under $100.

House of Petro Zillia

What We Love
Funky and colorful, these are designs meant for a powerful personality who isn’t afraid to turn heads and dismiss those who couldn’t possibly understand.

Favorite Designs
Forget about bubble skirts what about the Christian Joy Bubble Shorts ($300)? Or the rich and sexy emerald green Karen Zambos Ruffle Shirt ($203).

Pricepoint
Be prepared to drop a couple hundred on one item of clothing, and upwards of $500 on their beautiful leather accessories.

Jane Doe John Doe

What We Love
Fun fabrics, flattering stripes and vibrant color combinations make for playful clothing that could be casual or dressed up for a night out.

Favorite Designs
The trendy Ani Lee Zoe Jumper ($324) and form fitting magenta accented Ingwa Melero Bustier Dress ($357)

Pricepoint
Most items range from $300-400 and you won’t see discounts very often. But hey – good style is worth the investment!
