With New York Fashion Week only days away, the talk of the office mostly consists of comparing seat numbers and predicting what surprises our favorite brands have in store.

But aside from who's going to open for Marc by Marc Jacobs and what the makeup will look like at Rodarte, there's a new crop of designers we keep hearing rumblings about.

So, without further ado, here's our list of upcoming designers to look out for this week. Trust us, this won't be the first time you'll be hearing about them...
