Last season's designers included Cooperative Designs, Emma Bell, Louise Amstrup, William Tempest, Alexandra Groover, Horace and Ioannis Dimitrousis.
And for S/S 2010 the four womenswear designers making their debut have been announced as Ada Zanditon, Dean Quinn, Hermione de Paula and Marko Mitanovski, providing the young hopefuls with perfect platform to spearhead a career in fashion.

E-tail Details: Welcoming Jo Soh
I've been a fan of this Singaporean designer since researching her quirky, retro-inspired looks for a US fashion magazine - and I'm pleased to say my Jo Soh fix can now come online. The designer of the award-winning line Hansel (get ready to 'aww' because she named it after her Jack Russell) has just launched an e-boutique.
Soh formerly lived in London while working for Tristan Webber before moving back to Asia several years ago. With a write-up in Wallpaper, music-industry fans like The Veronicas and a sense of whimsy that everyone could use now, she'll probably have the pieces in her online store going fast.

Advice from a Pro: Be Your Own Critic
Backstage with John Rocha, I learned two things: The man loves Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth (what sane person doesn't?), and he grows hyper-critical of his work after fashion week.
"I do feel this is one of the best collections I've done," he said, dressed in the same black blazer he's worn at FW for years. "If I design something and I don't like it, how can I convince anyone else to like it? I did it, I love what I did, and we move on.
"In a few weeks time when I start on my spring collection, I'll look back and say, ooh, that was a bit dodgy. But being able to say that is what makes you a better designer."
So there you have it, budding fashion stars: You'll need a healthy sense of self-judgment to make it in the style scene. That, and a great sense of personal taste. "Love your bag," Rocha told me before I left for Qasimi. Thanks, Johnny.

Seen and Overheard: Sasha P
While waiting for the Eun Jeong show, it emerged that one of Fash Pack's favourite emerging designers has none of the clothes he designed left.
But no worries - because they're off being shot on Sasha Pivovarova in the Seychelles. No big deal.
More details to come xoxo
