Most influentual clothing designer

[irishgrl]

Why Chanel? her suits are hideous! I hate her styling!

Halston is refined and classic, Balenciaga is ornate but classy if I remember right.......but influential? I dont know..........I dont remember much about Dior...but isnt that mostly runway stuff? not much you'd see anywhere else if I remember right....

and Michelle:
Ethan is a David Wannabe. Nuff said.

Chanel, Dior and Balenciaga are classic! Their design houses have seen everything from post WWII frivolity all the way into this decade. What was Halston good for except for awkward pictures @ Studio 54?

I have NO idea. I wouldn't know anything any one designed.
I like my own designs. And clothes from India.

Where's Vivienne Westwood? Mary Quant, curator of the miniskirt? Rudi Gernreich? Bueller?

One word says it all: Chanel. No one has influenced modern clothing design the way she has.

Yuck. Chanel Stinks. except for the fact she represents women in a man's field............her designs are crappy. I HATE the boxy look. There is This however, Chanel made it possible for Schiaparrelli and Edith Head to continue.
Thank Gawd for that.

Well you're certainly entitled to that opinion. I loved the whole long, flowy skirt look with fishnets and peeptoe shoes when I was thinner/younger. the boys liked it too. I could work the red lipstick look still.

WRONG! Halston's strong suit is his specialization in sportswear/casual wear.

he will outlive all the runway designers IMO. they have a limited audience and Halston has already courted the young urban up and comers...............

I really think Ralph Lauren should be on that list, for certain.
