Today's chosen designer in my Designer Spotlight series is a familiar face to Mostly Lisa! Luisa Beccaria is not only one of my current favorite designers, but one that I've been closely watching for the past couple years. The Italian designer mixes elegance and romance so perfectly in her collections, and finds inspiration from several of my favorite fashion eras. One of her most recent collections for Fall 2015 is the best blend of all of those qualities. From the silhouettes, the accessories and even the makeup, it all combines together for an ode to the 1940s!
 From a tidbit on NYMag.com, "Milan-born Beccaria launched her line of sweet, ruffled cocktail dresses in 1979, sticking to ultrafeminine cuts in soft textures. Ignoring trends and sticking to her signature flouncy dresses in frothy tiers and floral prints, Beccaria’s designs remain constant in their romantic vision for women. Hollywood A-listers round out her fan base." She is sure to continue to do all of this for years to come!

 Don't ask me how I've not featured this designer in my Spotlight series yet, but it is time now! Every fashion season I am on the hunt to find the perfect collection, and Valentino is literally almost always at the top of my list. When Maria Grazia Chiuri & Pier Paolo Piccilo became the Creative Directors for the brand in 2008, they have consistently been churning out beautiful collection after beautiful collection. It's so hard to decide which one is my all-time favorite, they're all that amazing, but Pre-Fall 2015 is the top contender right now. The subtle transition of folk-inspired prints to a space odyssey has a hold on my heart and is not letting go. If you haven't seen it yet, GO LOOK NOW! I also recommend watching the Fall 2015 Couture show on their website, it was one of the most beautiful runway shows I've ever seen.  This is a brand that will be around for a long time, and I'm very happy with that.

After seeing the collection that Elie Saab presented for Fall 2014 Couture, I had to feature this amazing designer in my Designer Spotlight series! If you know me well, you'll understand my intense love for this designer and all the amazing collections that he has put together. He became an overnight sensation when he dressed Halle Berry for the 2002 Academy Awards. Since then he's dressed royalty from around the world and several various national and international celebrities. He's part of an elite class of designers and is one of my personal highlights for every fashion season. So it's no surprise that he's at the top of my list every single time he shows a dress down the runway. Every silhouette is super feminine, embellishments are beyond stunning and particular and every color blends perfectly into the next one. If I ever become famous, it'd be a dream to just attend a show. :)

I love finding an up and coming designer who really sticks to their roots. Emilia Wickstead is one of those designers, and she has quickly made a name for herself with her sophisticated and ladylike collections. You might have seen some of her designs on that one lady who just had a baby? Yeah, that's right, she has been graced by The Duchess of Cambridge as being one of her go-to designers to wear while she was pregnant. She is quintessentially a British designer, even though she was born in New Zealand, and I admire that about her. In her Fall 2013 RTW collection, which was her first down a runway, she used motifs of plaid and antique florals. It may sound like it's aimed at an older audience, but there are tons of youthful elements in the silhouettes and lengths. You can easily access her clothing by looking at Net-A-Porter and Matches. Emilia is definitely someone to look out for during the next LFW! I can't wait to see what she comes up with.
Always,
