Designer Vanessa Bruno, Paris, France:

Born in Denmark and raised in Paris, the model-turned-designer launched her brand in 1996, unveiling the international best-seller and now iconic Cabas only two years later. Romantic aesthetics and bohemian chic style, characterized by soft tones and light, loose cuts are prevalent in her collections. Bruno’s clothes transcend trends, with timeless style and sophisticated detail, championed by the world’s fashion elite. Times fashion editor Lisa Armstrong referred to Vanessa Bruno as the designer label “fashion editors actually wear."
