VFiles has finally announced its final picks from the crowd-sourced submissions for the VFiles Made Fashion spring '15 runway show, and this group is tight. If we had to draw an overarching trend from these four designers, it would be a love of utility. From the rigors of space to the difficult decisions facing airport consumers, from the calloused simplicity of monk life to the trials and tribulations of being an English schoolgirl, these designers have thoroughly considered your sartorial needs. The four designers come from all over the world, yet are united by their apparent affection for sturdy, reliable fabrics, simple shapes, and loud, often verbal, graphics. Check our guide to this up and coming foursome below, and remember their names.
