Fox 5 caught up with some young and emerging designers making waves in the industry. When Beyoncé recently took the stage to announce new music streaming service Tidal, she rocked an eye-catching body suit from up-and-coming New York designer LaQuan Smith. Smith is storming the fashion world. The New York Times just named him the "one to watch." Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Arianna Grande are just a few of the other divas turning heads in his show-stopping designs. A bright future is just beginning for the rising design star who was once rejected from FIT and Parsons, and now stands on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. It's time to put another future fashion icon on your radar: Meggie Kempner. Harper's Bazaar and Lucky magazine have Kempner on their watch lists and you should too. These sleek lines and edgy details are sure to make a statement in any setting. At Nolita boutique Coop and Spree, Meggie shows us some of her favorite looks for spring. Celebs like Chrissy Teigen look effortlessly chic in the stunning collection, which is made in New York. --Simone Boyce
