So far, 2015 has been a huge year. In fashion, we’ve seen so many different looks from emerging ones to throwbacks to every era you can imagine. Trends like denim, head-to-toe white, kimono like trench coats, flats, slides, sneakers and plaid are making a huge comeback. And who better than young Hollywood to set usher them in?

Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid street style

Kendall and Kylie Jenner: No matter how old you are, you’ve most definitely heard about the Jenner ladies and how often they’ve been mentioned in today’s entertainment — from family drama to who they’re hanging out with and what they wore. Both Kendall and Kylie have always been in the fashion scene, first growing up with their sisters and then owning several of their own fashion lines. But it’s their unique taste clothing that catches everyone’s eye and makes them a huge fashion icon for teenagers everywhere.

Gigi Hadid: There’s something about Gigi that has made her blow up lately. She’s literally been everywhere including new music videos like Taylor’s Bad Blood and Calvin’s How Deep Is Your Love. But with her modeling background it’s no surprise she made my list of top 7 emerging trendsetters and style icons. Gigi brings a new side to bohemian by incorporating a little elegance and sophistication and keeping everything as natural looking as possible making her appeal to people of all ages including teenagers and young adults.

Zendaya: Lately, Zendaya has been making the top of every best dressed list for young female pop artists. Zendaya is a risk taker and puts herself out there which is probably why everyone loves her — generally, not just in clothing taste. And just being 17 years old makes her seem more incredible with everything she does and wears. From her pointed-toe pumps to her controversial hair styles, she is most definitely one of the biggest trendsetters of 2015 and will probably continue to be a trendsetter for years to come.

Kylie Jenner and Hailey Baldwin street style

Hailey Baldwin: Growing up with a famous family (Stephen’s daugher, Alec’s neice) could be hard, but Hailey managed to stay relevant in young Hollywood while keeping herself out of corruption and trouble. I give her props for that. The other girls are a little more sophisticated, no matter how young they are. Hailey dresses more edgy and casually and by the looks of it, more comfortably. That deserves all our thumbs up.

Amanda Steele: Since she was 10 years old, Amanda has been in the fashion and beauty community by creating tutorials on YouTube making her one of the youngest gurus on the internet. So, it’s not really surprising she would be considered a trendsetter especially for young women and teenage girls everywhere. Amanda is described as grungy with the occasional boho flair here and there, making her style completely different from the other ladies on this list. However, grunge is definitely making a comeback, so I thought it would be appropriate to mention her as she is setting trends all over the internet.

Blake Lively: Last but definitely not least, Blake is not just a trendsetter and style icon but a role model to so many young ladies all over the world. More class than sass, Blake is no diva and has shown the celebrity-obsessed world that you don’t have to be nasty when you’re rich and famous. And although, she’s not really emerging, as she’s been on the scene for years and years, it’s hard not to mention her name when you think of young female celebrities that impact and still continue to impact our fashion culture.

These are the looks that are sure to dominate our landscape this Fall. The good thing is that they are relatively easy to recreate and can be quickly changed up with accessories.
