A red carpet regular, Californian designer Rachel Roy is her own best advertisement. Wife of music-mogul Damon Dash, Roy is always impeccably turned out in her elegant signature designs. After cutting her cloth as head designer of the women's wear line at Rocawear, Roy started her eponymous line in 2005. Refined and sophisticated, her spring designs use embroidery and beading to great advantage.
