If there was one emerging fashion designer who reigned supreme in 2017, it was New York born Central Saint Martins alumnus Michael Halpern. The 29 year old has been making shockwaves in the fashion industry with his high voltage Studio 54 inspired collections, of which glamour is at an all-time high. Forget demure red carpet dressing, Halpern is all about over-the-top statement looks. Sequined bustier dresses have already become synonymous with the brand, inspiration for which also comes from classic couture Christian Lacroix collections. Making his LFW debut for SS18, Hackney-based Halpern also showed daywear separates in satin and velvet, making for more wearable everyday pieces, something which the brand wishes to push further in the coming seasons. Stylists have been queuing up to dress their a-list celebrity clients in bespoke Halpern looks, something which will continue to push the brand to the forefront of fashion for the year ahead. Most recently model/activist Adwoah Aboah wore an off the shoulder mini dress to the Fashion Awards, and was widely applauded as the best dressed attendee.
Production takes place in Leicester, meaning the price point is a little higher than say if the collections were manufactured in Italy, but it is key for the brand to support English production. Prices from £855. Stockists: Matches Fashion, Browns, Bergdorfs, FortyFiveTen, The Webster
