It's no secret that there's a giant talent pool of Southern-born designers winning the attention of the fashion world. Folks like Natalie Chanin, Billy Reid, Sid Mashburn, Lela Rose, and Amy Smilovic paved the way—and more bright young things are joining in each season.

One of newest is Wes Gordon, who showed his debut collection at fashion week in New York last February.

Gordon grew up in Georgia, graduated from Central Saint Martins University of Art and Design in London (Stella McCartney and the late Alexander McQueen are alums) and spent time under the tutelage of both Oscar de la Renta and Tom Ford.

Take a look at my favorite pieces from his fall 2010 line. The attention to detail is amazing, as is his use of texture. Rumor has it that Saks has parts of it on sale now, so be on the lookout at a store near you. And stay tuned for the buzz surrounding his second visit to fashion week September 13th.

Which look do you love the most?
