Anthony Vaccarello for giving the YSL women with the right attitude I like!

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Matthieu Blazy : he got the Chanel job.

 

[TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

Hedi Slimane for being a diva and not licking Bruno like a Golden Retriever with his tongue out... his last collection for Celine was clearly an audition, so now we have to suffer the consequence and he creates ripple effect in the industry

 

[MModa]

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons get my votes for their constant innovation, beauty, and creativity. Love it always.

Ralph Rucci!!

Galliano for the buzz, Matthieu for Chanel, Dries for leaving with grace and Vaccarello for the shows.

It's already too late, but Hedi Slimane?! His thread is by far the most talked about and controversial

By that metric I think Sabato wins easily. Hedi’s thread has been open for 13 years and has 108 pages of discussion. Sabato’s has been open for less than 2 years and has 90 pages of discussion.

Ralph Rucci!!

How dare you take a dig at our very own beloved TFS designer of all time.

True, but at least Hedi’s collections were well-received and achieved good sales

WHY do you assume I'm taking a dig? He had more lucid arguments against the current crop of fashion designers than anyone else!!!

Before we consider Hedi's popularity on tFS, we must ask "how many of those comments were about his hairline?"

I play jokes but I apologize with all my due respect!

Yes, because the TFS Designer Hairline of the Year award could only go to Rick Owens, especially given his status as a previous two-time recipient of this accolade.

Based on the work alone, I would say Chemena Kamali.
With one collection, she has put Chloe back on the fashion conversation map. She had some major PR moments and really, the discussion about her was about her work. Not politics, no rumors, not sales, fashion.

I would say that my biggest disappointment is John Galliano because he had the opportunity to really mark the year with his stamp if only the Couture show was materialized by a RTW offering.
