Some of the most famous fashion designers

Gaby Aghion (Egypt / France)

Creator of the now famous brand Chloé, Gaby Aghion revolutionized the fashion standards of the 1950s with his creations. The creator of mod at the time was intended to show that it was possible to offer luxury clothes, ready-to-wear. Gaby Aghion combines an informal and cosmopolitan style with an uncompromising demand for refinement. She makes it a point of honor to showcase a modern and dynamic woman, whether she is a manager or a stay-at-home mom. Her clothes are gathered in very accessible lines, not only in terms of price, but especially in terms of look. The clothes of this fashion designer can be worn on a daily basis as well as on special occasions.

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada (Spain)

This Spanish aristocrat, who could have lived a quiet life in a castle, created a real schism in the world of fashion with its first collection. At the time, the fashion designer proposed "joyful" clothes that were both comfortable for the body and for the spirit. At the front of the wave, and endowed with her famous sense of humor, the designer amused herself by creating pieces with childish and lively colors, such as fuchsia, fluorescent yellow or dot and striped patterns. . It is thanks to her that we can now wear with elegance and pride clothes with flowers or hearts; or accessories at the improbable size. The style of the designer greatly influenced the Latin creation of the 1980s, and still resurfaces in the collections of the world of fashion.

Carolina Herrera (Venezuela)

This Venezuelan fashion designer is one of the most respected figures in the world of fashion. It is a reference as far as luxury and good taste are concerned; especially for the dresses. She was able to highlight and demonstrate the power of feminine charm, while remaining sober. A classic charm, sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Carolina summarizes her style in a few words: "a complicated thing but a simple appearance". This is how she knew how to impose her refinement: by her attention to details. Among other things, she had the opportunity to dress Jacqueline Kennedy, a timeless icon of fashion.

Stella McCartney (United Kingdom)

As the daughter of one of the Beatles, she grew up in the limelight. But it is to her work that she owes the reputation she has today: that of a somewhat irreverent youth. A representation in the clothing of a certain "teen spirit", the new generation. That's probably why Madonna and Annie Lennox have worn her pieces ...

The fashion designer is also a jack of all trades. She has tried almost everything: underwear, sportswear, coats, accessories ... She even had the opportunity to work on collections of consumer brands. In addition, the designer does not use animal fur and uses organic products to make her beauty products.

Coco Chanel (France)

We kept the best for last, with the one who is probably one of the most iconic fashion designers in the world: Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. Daughter of a very modest family, the life of young Gabrielle is marked by lack and deprivation. It was at the time of necessity that she learned sewing; but she secretly dreams of a career as a singer. She worked in a cabaret for several years. With her many experiences in various circles of society, she set out to offer women more comfortable clothes. The result: clothes as comfortable as those of men, but keeping charm and femininity in his creations.

Coco was therefore against the tide of the stifling fashion imposed on women of the early 20th century, offering simple and straight lines. Thanks to her, we now know the elegance of an androgynous design, the refinement of black, and the charm of informal clothes. Simple but always elegant clothes, whose style continues until today. A style that continues, and will continue to inspire fashion designers in the future.
