When it comes to fashion, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a super stylish every-day passerby.

As fashion editors, we're moved by all of the above, and then some. We're exposed to under the radar labels; we get a first hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we're tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop - a lot.

To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. We hope this weekly Friday series will serve as a buying guide and point of inspiration for the clotheshorses and fashion fanatics alike.

YYIGAL

Catwalk cool: New York based fashion designer Yigal Azrouel is know for his eponymous line of ready-to-wear fashions (fall/winter 2016 runway pictured)

New York based fashion designer Yigal Azrouel is know for his eponymous line of ready-to-wear fashions.

This week, the 44-year-old launched a capsule collection with Macy's. 'The goal of this collaboration was to create something that was new and fresh that still had the feeling of luxury and innovative fabrics that you get from my RTW collections. I think we achieved that beautifully,' Yigal told FEMAIL.

Lucky for us, his Macy's line bares a striking resemblance to his higher-end line. 'The similarities can be found in my draping technique and design inspiration, along with the quality of the fabrics we used,' he said.

'The line continues the legacy of my signature pieces, including motorcycle leather jackets, intricate dresses, structured blazers, knitwear and statement jumpsuits.'

While Yigal believes every woman should own a leather motorcycle jacket and a perfectly tailored dress, he also feels that there’s nothing more empowering than a woman that exudes confidence.

It comes as no surprise that he designs his clothes with that sentiment in mind.

GG MAULL

In the bag: 'Feminine, chic, sophisticated, innovative and multi-functional,' is how handbag designer Gretchen Maull describes her newly launched collection of carryalls

'Feminine, chic, sophisticated, innovative and multi-functional,' is how handbag designer Gretchen Maull describes her newly launched collection of carryalls.

Having loved accessories ever since she was a little girl, it was always a dream of Gretchen's to have her own line.

Determined and focused to be a designer, she honed her craft interning at Proenza Schouler, Missoni and DVF, while working on a masters degree for accessories design in Italy.

After graduation, she got a job designing handbags at Juicy Couture, but it took a series of unfortunate events in 2014 (the company employing her was being sold and her sister was in a horrible car accident) that made Gretchen realize it was now or never to pursue her dreams.

Unlike big companies that produce hundreds of bags each season, Gretchen wanted to combat fast fashion and return to a slow pace, making small quantities of well-crafted leather goods with lots of love in each design.

'Additionally, I felt there was no feminine handbag brand with a high-end design aesthetic that was made in Italy and under $1,000,' says Gretchen.

'This is a gap that I am proud to say GG Maull fills.'

Designed in New York City and produced in Italy, 'each design speaks to individuality, creativity and joy,' says Gretchen.

'Our customers are drawn to our aesthetic because we are different and don’t follow any rules. We design for a confident woman.'

Incorporating Art Deco detailing (like her signature triple pointed diamond) into Italian leather, each bag is a timeless statement piece with whimsical flair. The collection is a true work of art.

But of course it is, she's been imagining it her whole life!
