Osman Yousefzada has had various labels applied to him: Cambridge-educated-investment-banker-turned-fashion designer, draper extraordinaire, son of an Afghan dressmaker, and new master of the little black dress.
It's this last one that seems like it might stick. Yousefzada's LBDs may look simple from afar, but they're far from simple, featuring architectural construction mixed in with a bit of his signature draping.
The London-based designer's reputation will get another boost when he unveils a capsule collection of 12 little black dresses for Mango in March. When we asked what we should expect from his collaboration with the mass retailer, Yousefzada was firm: "I'm not diluting them at all. They will be very, very Osman."
