Hussein Chalayan A/W 2000
Literally made me shudder, like I was watching fashion history.
Christian Dior Haute Couture S/S 07
Astounding.. really...
Balenciaga S/S 08
New, shocking, incredibly wonderful - historical collection.

New, shocking, incredibly wonderful - historical collection.
Hon. mention:
YSL Mens S/S & F/W 2000 - I've only recently fallen in love with them, but all I can say is that it's a shame that Hedi's work for Dior overshadowed his early efforts.
5) Balenciaga F/W 2008 - The first show in a long while that really made me sit up and take notice. For me, it was a welcome return to so many of the things that I had been missing in fashion; glamour, severity, sex, power...it had it all.
4) Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture F/W 2002 - Without a doubt my favorite Gaultier collection ever. For whatever reason it's become the standard which I measure all of his other collections by.
3) Alexander McQueen S/S 2001, 2003 and 2004 - I definitely can't pick just one, since each one of them is more amazing than the next. To this day the clothes, concepts and presentations still manage to be exciting.
2) Gucci F/W 2003 - I can't really add more to what's already been said about this one. F/W 04 may have been his grand finale, but F/W 03 was definitely Tom's most epic and perfectly realized collection.
1) Christian Dior Haute Couture S/S 2000 - For me, the show of the decade. It was one of the very first collections shown in the new decade, one of the first collections I can remember reading about and seeing video of, and yet 10 years later I haven't grown tired of it. It's still just as relevant, interesting and provocative as it was then. All of John's work for Dior in the 2000s stands out in my mind, but this was the one that really started it all. Maybe not so surprisingly it pre-dated the whole hobo/dumpster chic trend that came to define the latter part of the 2000s.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2003
It is one of the most beautiful things I have seen all my whole life...
this show got an spirit, a charm, a magic feeling that never bores...
I still watch it and I can feel the same energy and passion
it gave me the first time I saw it...
Thanks John, in a way he gave me the dreams, the ilussion,
and the passion to love fashion... and teach me to serve a woman
to make her beautiful.

with regard to my own personal sense of style, nothing has ever out-shined the gucci fall/winter 2001 collection. however, from a pure fashion junkie perspective, i still reminisce about the glory days of fall/winter 2002 balenciaga and fall/winter 2003 helmut lang.

For me, the collection in this decade that changed my style was definitely
Chloe spring summer 2003...by phoebe
it was unbelievable sexy, I think she said it was a mix of Bardot and kate moss!

Dior Spring/Summer 2007 Couture:
After the first look came out, I was hooked! Everything was perfect, the set, the hair, the make-up, and of course, the couture.
Versace Spring/Summer 2007 RTW:
All I'm going to say is, this was definately the return of Versace!

I can't pick just one so here is my top five for R-T-W
5) GIVENCHY - AW 2003
This is collection is so cool. This tailoring, the ruffles, the studs. Perfection.

I am not a fan of Dell Acqua. I've never like any of his other collections but if I could own this whole collection I would be happy.
3) CHANEL - SS 2005
Love this collection. There are so many dresses I want. Plus having all the Supermodels there was special.
2) ALEXANDER MCQUEEN - AW 2008
This is to die for. Just breathtaking and so beautiful.
