With the next generation of talent making waves, here are the rising menswear designers to watch.

Unknown designers are having a moment, and it's all thanks to the industry-favorite Instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/upnextdesigner/">@upnextdesigner</a>. Brooklyn native Albert Ayal's platform has quickly emerged as the place to discover fashion's next rising star. Yet it's been the celebrity stylist pushing the underground designer movement with Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa all sporting the latest fashion has to offer.
And while the established houses continue to dominate, it's been the emerging labels reinventing menswear. With each collection, these new designers continue to establish their DNA, finding what makes their brands uniquely them. And this season the rookies have decided, androgyny is in. Pulling inspiration from womenswear and trends in feminity, see how these five up-and-coming designers are pushing the limits and redifining the industry.

A coveted collaboration with Dior creative director Kim Jones has solidified Californian Eli Russel Linnetz's status as fashion's latest rising design star. A film student turned designer, Linnetz launched his namesake brand in 2018 and quickly made headlines with A-listers A$AP Rocky and Hailey Bieber spotted wearing the label. Reinventing menswear, the up-and-coming designer embraced feminity and showcased sheer tops, mirco-shorts, and an array of pastel hues as Dior's latest guest designer. And as one of this year's finalists for the coveted LVMH Prize, Linnetz is one to watch.

German founder and designer Luis Dobblegarten is making a name for himself at just 21 years old. The label works within a monochromatic scheme with a focus on inventive dramatic oversizing and unique silhouettes. With an almost apocalyptic feel, a mesh vest, distressed denim dresses, and a collection of newly launched flared jeans perfectly pair feminity with masculinity.

Designers Florentin Glemarec and Kevin Nompeix are breaking the rules. Founded in inclusivity the label juxtaposes feminity and masculinity in a way few brands dare to. From a denim jean-skirt combo to dramatic thigh-high boots, their latest collection features an array of eye-catching yet practical pieces begging to be worn. Simply put, the curious world of Egonlab is worth exploring.

Kaushik Velendra appreciation for impactful clothing. On a mission to reinvent modern menswear, the London-based designer is embracing elements of British tailoring with a contemporary touch. With soft silhouettes and delicate fabrics, the androgynous feel of Velendra's collection serves as a refreshing contrast to the recycled blueprint of modern menswear.

The Brazilian designer embraces a dramatic, futuristic approach to men's ready-to-wear. With precise cut-outs, Ben Atelie's designs contour the body in an innovative yet simplistic fashion rarely seen in menswear. A reinvention of traditional silhouettes, the label is making waves in the modern design market.
