"As Laura Bush can famously tell you, nothing can take the wind out of your fashion sails quite like showing up to a fete in the same frock as someone else. To ensure originality, I&amp;#39;m forever on a quest for chic new pieces from original designers nobody&amp;#39;s heard of yet--and apparently so is Lisa Weiss, the owner/curator of the New York boutique Debut.\nPinterestFacebookDebut  is a Nolita spot stocked only with emerging designers who deserve a bit more recognition, a la Alexander Wang two years ago, or the Proenza boys in 2002. The owner, Lisa Weiss, is an FIT grad who studied fashion merchandising and has rounded up a brilliant roster of international talent and given them a platform from which to be heard (or more importantly, worn).\nLast night, I made my way to a little cocktail party to mark the arrival of a slew of new designers, part of a showcase of recent grads from the Parsons School of Design (you may recognize some of their other former grads like, um, Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui). This crop of Parsons kids hail from places as far as Belarus, China, Iran, and Mexico City, and are all uncommonly talented. A few of my favorites:\nPinterestFacebookA look from Parsons Designer of the Year Stephanie Suberville--innovative, chic, and very feminine. The 22-year-old comes from Mexico City, where her grandparents owned a department store, and calls Grace Kelly her fashion icon.\nPinterestFacebookPinterestFacebookAccessories designer Clara Yoo works in some unexpected media--this bag is fashioned from fire hose material--and has a background in sculpture.\nPinterestFacebookRachel Rymar--I love her stuff. I actually attended the Parsons fashion show in the spring, where a select few students are chosen to show for a bunch of style world bigwigs, and remembered loving her stuff.\nDebut will carry 15 items from each designer all fall. Weiss told me she&amp;#39;ll typically stock someone&amp;#39;s goods for about two to four seasons, until they&amp;#39;ve gone on to the Barneys and the Bergdorfs of the world and no longer need a push from this little downtown boutique. But I suggest shopping Debut ASAP, before these kids become major names and their profiles and price tags both start skyrocketing. It&amp;#39;s also the perfect remedy to the J. Crew cardigan you&amp;#39;ve already seen on six different girls this week--with such limited production, you can be sure nobody&amp;#39;s got the same piece as you. I&amp;#39;m all for nurturing young talent and totally excited about this concept--what do you guys think? Who are some under-the-radar designers you are loving right now?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
