We’ve been relying on the world’s fashion capitals — Paris, London, New York, and Milan — for far too long. During this past fashion month for Spring and Summer 2018, some of our favorite trendsetters proved that it’s time for traditional luxury brands to share the spotlight with up-and-comers from all over the world. Let’s just say that when celebs like Kim Kardashian West and Bella Hadid step out wearing lesser-known, international designers, we take note. Scroll down for all the fashion lines from around the world to follow on Instagram that are about to be the next big thing.
ARGENTINA
