As a luxury womenswear label, Christina Makowsky is working her way through the stars of Hollywood like a pro.

Nonoo is a Yesyess! This designer's stuff is cutting edge and for every occasion. I'm completely in love with pretty much all of Nonoo's jackets, but this label is full of tops, dresses, pants...you name it. You may not have known it, but you've see their clothes on countless celebrities on the covers of magazines like Lucky, Vogue, 944, Elle, Bazaar, W, and many others. 

Though Angelo Lambrou has an amazing bridal collection, he also has an eveningwear line that will have you digging up any excuse for a fabulous night out. Citing classic Valentino as his inspiration, he favors everything from red carpet entrance gowns to slinky little numbers. This eveningwear designer knows his lines and how to make a woman gasp over a garment and with awards season coming up, I'm sure Lambrou will be in full effect!

Having designed for several big name designers, you can see Cesar Galindo's aesthetic show through collections like Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. Fortunately, Galindo has branched out to form his own dream line, Czar. Combining soft and flowy silhouettes with sharp and edgy ones, this collection screams high-fashion. Describing his pieces as "social party outfits," Galindo captures his audiences with his signature architecturally draped silhouettes, his pops of color, and optical illusions.
