Well, a fashion show is a moment, most never last more than 20 minutes.
As far as an actual fashion MOMENT, I'd have to think about that one for a little!

I heard that's what made JLo famous! It's forgotten now for the most part (IMO), but it tops every fashion faux pas list!

Versace F/W 03 - was one of the most beautiful collections Donatella has yet to produce. It was dark, gothic, erotic and moody and the corseted dresses in that olive green chiffon were beyond gorgeous, almost poetic.
Yves St Laurent S/S 04 - another dark, moody collection that oozed art deco via seventies glam. The big Diana Ross hair, the exaggeratedly smokey eyes, provacative necklines and the loose silhouettes were the epitome of sexual glamour when I first saw the show. The zebra runway just added to that. Flawless.
Chloe S/S 2001 - The horse prints were so chic, and the fruit prints on the swimsuits were so vulgar. Overall, this was a humorous collection that could have been kitschy but instead was chic and sexy. This collection was everywhere that spring, and everyone was knocking off the horse prints.
Dior S/S 2002 - Wearable? No. Dazzling? Yes. From the chinese dancers and performers on stage to the miles of fabric swaddling Galliano's mysterious character-models, this was an incredible display of showmanship. Color, proportion, presentation, was at it's peak for Dior in these days and this was my personal favorite of his shows.
Galliano S/S 2003 - When I first saw collection, I was scared. Literally, the models frightened me with their large oriental hats and monochrome paint jobs. Looking back, it was one of Galliano's more brilliant creations of character and mood. Models were unrecognizable and it was all about the clothes and the makeup.
Gucci S/S 2000 - Not the most technically astounding Gucci collection, but what it had in simplicity was made up for in pure sex. The snake prints, jeweled dresses, assymetric necklines and colored tights were so 70's yet so modern and brought Gucci into the new millenium with a message of dark, brash sexuality while still pushing out wearable and covetable clothes. The ad campaign was great as well.
Gucci S/S 2004 - While not as universally beloved as his earlier collections, I found this to be Ford at his best with detail and luxury. The shoes were a hit, and IMO the best he had ever sent out. The track pants with python jacket ensemble was a wonderful reflection of the high-low dressing that was beginning to swell amongst women. The finale of colored dresses with maribou feather jackets was beautiful and almost touching. This was perhaps the Gucci woman at her most feminine, though she looked like a wet dream.
Alexander McQueen F/W 2001 - A madcap psycho circus of merry-go rounds and children's music alongisde S&M clothes and and the evilest of clown make-up make this a rebellious, but succesful show. McQueen had a very dark imagination, twisted at time, and it was a pleasure to witness it in action.

George Michael´s Freedom Video with the supermodels, it was a milestone in the supermodel´s era, a confirmation that they were omnipresent and celebrities on their own right

Telepathicgoat, what collection is that V&R look from? That image is beyond amazing.
The J.Lo/Versace moment was pretty epic, the way it opened as she walked onto the podium, you could hear gasps in the audience. It really did set a precedent as far as stars and red carpet dressing and made J.Lo (like it or not) a style star, which IMO she only lived up to again at the Oscars with that beautiful, nipple-exposing Chanel gown.
My favorite fashion moment-in time, would be the late 70's, Bianca Jagger in YSL, Halston, Studio 54...

It's F/W2001. The collection was called "Black Hole". All the models were painted black, the designers themselves as well.

I totally agree Dutty, that Chanel gown Jlo wore in 2001 was the best she has ever (and probably will ever) look.
The Versace dress was shocking and attention grabbing, but that Chanel with the huge skirt, sheer top and raised waistline...that was beyond gorgeous.

2. January 22nd, 2002- Yves Saint Laurent HC S/S 02, Final Collection
[style]
I remember watching this with my grandma that night and being completely mesmerized by the event, it wasn't just truly spectacular in pomposity but so impressive as decades of fashion passed in front of my eyes in a matter of minutes.. and I was too young and even geekier than today, I not only memorised almost every look but taped it and watched it everyday in a wide variety of situations.. from background soundtrack, environmental imagery, breakfast, lunch and dinner company, laundry incentive or just whenever I'd get bored... if my cousin hadn't use that tape for a Bob Marley tribute, I'd probably still be watching it.

Not really a top ten but anywhoo....
*, Seeing my first ads with Claudia Schiffer in Lagerfeld (Chanel I guess, when he was still festively plump and shoulder pads were in every frickin' garment)
*, The supers. I know how everyone says that the supers are Linda, Christy and Naomi, but everyone forgets the impact Cindy and Claudia had. I only consider something a "Super Model Reunion" when Cindy and Claudia are also part of it.
*, Gucci. From the first season to Tom Ford's final. I mean, some pieces in the beginning were really 90's (and therefore not really my taste) but you gotta give props to someone who changed the general perception of fashion that much.
*, Gianni Versace's murder. I was a kid back then but understood the significance of the death of someone so important in fashion, who created things so vibrant, loud.... he was really epitomizing the fashion of the 80's & 90's.
*, Louis Vuitton. Seen it since I was a small kid. Really took notice of it again when Murakami recreated it. Must have been the most defining moment in sales for Louis Vuitton since, like, forever.
*, Yves Saint Laurent retiring. First designer brand I knew by name (how could I not, his name is written on all my polo shirts when I was little!). I applaud Stefano, but Tom Ford's Rive Gauche is superior to his stuff.
*; whaletails everywhere. It's not high fashion, but to me, it was really THE break of the fashion choices of the 90's. All that oversizedness, which designers are trying to bring back. I hope it stays dead, cause from my personal aesthetical point of view, a longer torso is more desirable than long legs.

This is super geeky but Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" video had me for awhile, especially at the end with the Versace dance-routine... It was her breakout moment and the dress was very powerful on her.
...Though I can't stand her now.

Mid-90's Heroin Chic
I know at the time it was considered bad, and to some extent it still is considering the whole weight issue going on, but the whole look of it has always been something that appeals to me. It's slick, dark, sinister and for some unknown reason, very sexy.
(I could only find these few since firstview only goes back as far as 95/96)
