don't know about that list... don't think they all went to CSM. I know for a fact neville brody went to LCP or what's now known as LCC.. part of the same group of schools as CSM but not CSM itself.

does anyone know if nicholas ghesquiere went to a school? if he did, where?

If they didn't go to art school to do fashion, how did they learn to cut and drape? I mean McQueen was so good because he did his time on Saville Row -did any of the others have similar experience. Or is it a case of drawing the design and having others making it up for you? That can't mean the best cut designs surely?

It depends on what else was there if they didn't go through any formal education...as Scott pointed out earlier: Theyskens' granny was rather instrumental to his designs. For Raf Simons, who trained in industrial design, it was Linda Loppa (head of the fashion department at the Royal Academy of Art in Antwerp) who encouraged him to go and learn about fashion with her father who was a tailor - obviously one who knew about sharp cuts!

^indeed!

Not to mention: with regard to tailoring,there are also the people behind the designer's(if they don't this themselves)called pattern designers who are really the one's who create the amazing cuts just by that certain designer's description of what they want. Elke Hoste is the mysterious woman behind most all the brilliant Belgians(Walter,Vandevorst,Persoons,Van Saene,Van Noten) who makes their precise cuts in pattern. It is ultimately the amazing usage of the scissors,of course,but patterns are largely responsible for certain cutting techniques you find yourself salivating over.

(nice to see you back,btw,skeeter )

^ now i find that interesting.... which designers never actually studied FASHION? i know rei kawakubo never did....

You are *so* good with the Belgians Scott . You gotta know quite a bit about the Antwerpians to know Elke Hoste! Freak!
