Most Likely to Succeed
Christine Ganeaux

   

The Look Simple but flattering urban chic. And whereas so many young designers focus on creating trendy looks, Ganeaux places an emphasis on craftsmanship.

Where to Get It Christine Ganeaux, 45 Crosby St., 431-5696

Career Trajectory Ganeaux, who has her own boutique in SoHo and debuted her first collection in Moet & Chandon's career-making showcase last February, is a favorite of editors who know that basic concepts and smashing fits can knock even the most flamboyant, eye-catching look out of the water.

What You Don't Know The 36-year-old Ganeaux has something in common with Alice Roi: She changed her original name (Gano) for something more continental.

What the Editors Say
Paper, Christine Baker:
"I've talked to a few shop owners in L.A. that are looking for the newest thing, and they mention her....When you walk by her [store], there's anything in the window you could put on and walk out."

Elle, Nina Garcia: "She has a very streamlined aesthetic and it's things that you want to buy: the perfect skinny pant, the perfect low-waisted pant. It's not crazy or avant-garde; just what people like to wear, really well done."
