Your Favourite Designer, and why?

[couture_seller]

I own a few Valentino, Melinda Eng and Alberta Ferretti gowns that are luscious! All of them consisting of the breeziest thin silk that absolutely floats while moving. The lines are so forgiving. Alberta designs a little closer to the body, but she and Melinda really know how to make a girl feel feminine!

I must admit though, I see a lot of gowns come and go, so I reserve the right to change my mind!!

Veronique Branquinho. No doubt!
Her mens collection is allways fabulous. It holds the middle between a romantic modest simplicity and a rough badboy. And I simply love wearing her clothes. They are allways made out of the softest high quality materials and the precision of the cutting is just AMAZING!

I'd have to say Alex Perry, one of Australia's best...

[Bente]

Dean & Dan .. DSQUARED²

 

[Rachelle]

Miuccia Prada...especially her Miu Miu line. It's fun and unique.
Karl Lagerfeld, not him personally but his designs for chanel. There's jsut something about it...

 

[JuiceMajor]

Hedi Slimane for introducing the slim silhouette!! For redefining masculinity!

And also showing his versatility as a designer through his extra-curricular as a photographer. A true inspiration for me!!




Also:
Tom Form, Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, Nicolas Ghesquière and Helmut Lang...

My Top 15

1. Miuccia Prada for Prada & Miu Miu
- Because she leads the fashion industry, she has become the lifeblood of Milan. What Miuccia does, everybody follows. I love the identity she gave for Prada as quirky, banal, free, smart & intellectual. When you look at her clothes, there's always something odd, bizzare or wrong with it and it allows you to think about how it works how it is beautiful and i think that is very interesting. It's always unexpected.

2. Nicholas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga
- I worship Ghesquiere for injecting couture and craftsmanship in his clothes in a modern, refreshing, tough way. The complex constructions are so amazing. I never thought of his clothes as trendy - Balenciaga has always been so interesting for me. The perfect words to describe Balenciaga: Enginnering in Fashion.

3. Olivier Theyskens for Rochas
The Prince of dark belgian goth has given the house of Rochas a strong identity.... A woman in a lace-encrusted dress, ethereal, unreal, dreamy and beautiful. He makes the most gorgeous and most beautiful dresses without looking too flashy or too hollywood - His designs are classic and the spirit of a deep meaning with the clothes is very strong.

the runner up's.....

4. Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent

5. Alber Elbaz for Lanvin

6. Marc Jacobs for Marc Jacobs

7. Phoebe Philo for Chloe

8. Alexander McQueen for Alexander McQueen

9. Junya Watanabe for Junya Awatanabe

10. Jil Sander for Jil Sander

11. Tom Ford for Gucci & YSL

12. Helmut Lang for Helmut Lang

13. Karl Lagefeld for Chanel

14. Consuelo Castiglioni for Marni

15. Rei Kawakubo for Comme Des Garcons

[Mr. Fabulous]

it depends on the collection, I really love Phoebe Philo's work for Chloe, and I love Missoni, & Zac Posen. I absolutely love Oscar de la Renta and Dolce & Gabbana.

 

[fashionista-ta]

My favorite is Marc Jacobs, because the clothes are so luscious and wearable, and his design philosophy seems to fit my personality. Also like Dries van Noten.

Some Marc examples (current season, first from neimanmarcus.com, others from style.com

Dries (style.com, Spring 05

Others I like but haven't felt personally inspired to wear include Prada and Alber Elbaz.

I would have to say that Marc Jacobs is by far my favourite designer. I like almost everything he makes plus it's wearable and I still feel like myself when wearing his stuff. It's feminine with a twist and without being too cute. The Mary by Marc Jacobs line is even affordable. I also liked a lot of his shoes and bags lately.
I have always been a fan of Chloe as well. I liked Stella Mc Cartney's designs as well as Phoebe Philo's.
Hussein Chalayan makes very interesting pieces from time to time as well.

I thought I would add some Hussein Chalayan pics from yoox.com.
