4. PIPPO BASILE (Italy)

He is not all that young anymore but is considered to be an emerging designer because of the turn his career has taken.
He is now a frame artist, creating futuristic frames for paintings and photos.


5. ELS PROOST (Belgium)

Elsa

In 2007, she established the brand Elsa Shoes. The brand is still very young but it seems to have all the hallmarks of a brand that will expand. The shoes she creates are unusual, with features such as transparent heels or lace-up shoes that turn into slip-ons, a novelty in this area. www.elsa-antwerp.be is the stylist's website, where you can see all the collections, including past collections, and the shops in which you can find the shoes.
