When reporters ask the stars "who they're wearing" on the red carpet, the answers are usually a sea of "Oscar de la Renta" and "Valentino" sprinkled with some "Marchesa" and "Dior." However, every season, there are some up-and-coming designers that start to pop up at award shows and premieres. These are the designers to look out for. It was only 6 years ago that people started talking about Zac Posen as Natalie Portman's friend whose dresses she sometimes wore!

Kaufmanfranco is a brand that may soon be a household name among celebrities, those who dress them, and those who love them. The designs are modern and sexy, and already a favorite by young starlets who have a sophisticated taste, like Julianne Hough, Allison Williams, and the new, Red era Taylor Swift. Kaufmanfranco red carpet dresses are unfussy with sleek silhouettes. The brand just showed their Ready To Wear collection at New York Fashion week, and along with their sexy gowns, they showed lots of fur and leather in neutral colors. Emma Stone and Kate Bosworth would be the perfect fit for their sexy-undercover-spy looks.

Check out some of the looks for Kaufmanfranco's latest collection, and see what their dresses look like on the red carpet.
