Fashion week might be the chicest week of the year. All the major brands and designers descend to the four fashion capitals of the world (New York, Paris, London, and Milan) to show their latest collections for the upcoming season. This usually is a tell-tale sign of which trends are in, and which are out.

It may seem like Fashion Week is an event only for die-hard fashion lovers. But, that’s not true at all. Major corporations are part of the fashion world. For investors, a designer presenting a revolutionary collection is the fashion world’s equivalent to Apple releasing the iWatch. Here are 4 fashion brands that you should have your eye on!

1) Adidas

When you hear Adidas you might think sneakers rather than haute-couture. But the sportswear line has collaborated with many big name designers in order to create a more sophisticated take on the average work-out apparel. Collaborations have included English-designer Stella McCartney as well as Opening Ceremony.

Recently Adidas got a lot of attention due to a much hyped collaboration with the infamous Kanye West. The rapper turned fashion designer debuted his new line during New York Fashion Week. Though the clothes didn’t received the best reviews, any press is good press, and the company will likely see sales.
