In fact, there were many Coco Chanels, just as her work had many phases and many styles, including Gypsy skirts, over-the-top fake jewelry and glittering evening wear — made of crystal and jet beads laid over black and white georgette crepe — not just the plainer jersey suits and "little black dresses" that made her famous.

Well! I never remembered THOSE from my survey of Designer styles!

I like those too

I take it all back! Carry on Coco!

Ralph is one of the great American designers.

Have to say CK because he's ubiquitous. Love those Chanel designs, Chris!

I would venture a guess that Chanel is one of the most influential. As far as my personal favorites, most of what I know is from celebrity awards shows and the occasional fashion mag. I like vintage Valentino and some Oscar de la Renta. Current designers that I like are Vera Wang and Carolina Herrera. I am not a fan of Versace (too loud, too gaudy, too often bordering on trashy.)

I like Carolina Herrera too. It seems like everyone wants their wedding gown from Vera Wang.

Coco Chanel for sure!

and then I would probably say Lagerfeld.

But out of the ones to you gave us.. I'd say Halston! LOVE Halston!
