If you haven't gotten to know Rosie Assoulin yet, it's time you did. On Tuesday, the young New York designer took home the CFDA Fashion Awards' Swarovski Award for Womenswear, which recognizes emerging designers, alongside Menswear winner Shayne Oliver for Hood by Air and the ladies of Mansur Gavriel for Accessory Design.

Having launched her label with a Resort collection in 2014, Assoulin has flown somewhat under the radar until now, especially when compared to fashion darling Mansur Gavriel. Yet, Assoulin's feminine, structured pieces have already found a home in some of the country's most exclusive stores, including Louis Boston, Kirna Zabete and Bergdorf's. With the CFDA Award now in her pocket, Assoulin is set to step straight into the spotlight. 

While Assoulin's latest collection for Fall 2015 is stunning, full of textured wools and velvets, it's this year's Spring/Summer looks that have me feeling inspired as temperatures begin to rise. Take a look...

Now, here's hoping that J.Crew continues on with its CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund capsule collections so that even us fashion plebs can get a piece of the Assoulin action.
