Five designers to watch #2: Tal Rosenfarb, Caroline Pretterebner, Perminute, Roberts|Wood, Pepa Salazar.
A weekly spotlight on five emerging talents making waves, picked by Nasty.

TAL ROSENFARB

Tal Rosenfarb graduated from the fashion design department at Shenkar College in Israel. Her designs are tailored and characterized by minimalist, clean lines; commonly exploring stronger concepts as gender relations and equality. For her, the garments serve as a metaphor for the memories they represent and are an integral part of our personality allowing for emotional expression, helping us with issues that we bear in our minds.

CAROLINE PRETTEREBNER

Caroline Pretterebner studied fashion design under the guidance of Hussein Chalayan and previously under the guidance of Bernhard Willhelm at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. She graduated in 2016 with the collection ‘virtuality check NOW!’, which revolves around humans rendered transparent through technology, the notion of surveillance and the scientification of mankind and nature. -Credits: Photography by Luca Fuchs.

ROBERTS | WOOD

Luxury concept brand founded by Katie Roberts-Wood upon her graduation from the Royal College of Art. For Katie, a collection represents the crystallized moment in the evolution of the design process; a pause in the continual exploration of textiles, construction and silhouette. Drawing on themes of repetition, nature and mathematical patterns; the aesthetic is instinctively beautiful yet chaotic and at times unreal. -Credits: Pag1-3 ph by @paulphung, Pag2 ph by @iringo.demeter.

PEPA SALAZAR

Born in Valencia, after having studied in Madrid and undergone an internship at Loewe, Pepa Salazar developed her Madrid based brand, with all the production being made in Spain. A brand exhaling the eternal spirit of youth with the intense energy of the dance floor in a 90’s redux aesthetic. -Credits: Photography by Phillipe Milton.

In a world that moves at the speed of light, "now" feels fleeting—a breath, a pulse, a moment slipping through our fingers. But what if now isn’t as brief as it seems? What if the present isn’t just a dot on the timeline but a space we can stretch, linger in, and explore?
