Dion Lee
He's been the darling of RAFW for the past two years, and we predict 2011 will be no different. Pick up his threads at the Lands End Store or his new diffusion range Dion Lee x Cue at Cue stores around Sydney. 205 Glenmore Rd, Paddington 2026.

Christopher Esber

Last season Esber was all about muted tones and lots of textures. Head to The Corner Shop for a taste of what the young designer does next. The Strand, Shop 80–81, 412–414 George St, Sydney 2000.

Alistair Trung
Trung's boundary-pushing layer options will be just the thing for the Autumn-Winter season. Think feathers, knits and draping and buy them at his flagship QVB store. QVB, Shop 28, Lvl 1, 445 George St, Sydney 2000.

Arnsdorf
Arnsdorf's clean, simple and chic pieces are available at Newtown's Pretty Dog – a boutique that stocks a stack of RAFW designers. 5A Brown St, Newtown 2042.

Gary Bigeni
His designs are simple, expertly draped and in genius colour combinations. Pick them up from expertly cuarated Elizabeth Bay boutique Blood Orange. 35 Elizabeth Bay Rd, Elizabeth Bay 2011.

Toni Maticevski

Maticevski is known for his loud, full silhouettes and focus on sheer and textured fabrics. His label is stocked at Myer stores across Sydney.

Kirrily Johnston
Johnston's flagship Sydney store is a beautifully ordered presentation of her natural, relaxed style. Expect bold prints in neutral colours and easy-to-wear draping. 6 Glenmore Rd, Paddington 2026.

Rawsthorne creates the chicest basics you could possibly imagine. Pick them up at Balmain boutique Lol & Roc. 401 Darling St, Balmain 2041.
