Emilia Wickstead

The Londonbased New Zealand designer is the go-to for one of the most prominent women in the world – Kate Middleton. That’s not why she’s featured here. It’s because of her Phoebe Philo/ Celine-ish soft, womanly drapes; her elegant twopiece-like dresses that are as good for work as for drinks after; the feminine yet unpredictable prints; and columnlike evening numbers.
