Joseph Altuzarra, Altuzarra, Swarovski Award for Womenswear

Altuzarra’s young-gun status was confirmed when he received rave reviews for the 15 looks he showed at his 2009 debut. He’s since gone on to help make parkas and conical bras chic again, not to mention get his wares on Katniss Everdeen--AKA Jennifer Lawrence.Oh, and he won the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award last year--not bad for a guy who has yet to exit his twenties.
