That vest is totally cute…perfect to pair with my new drop-crotch pants…

My favorite designer is Henrik Vibskov because he creates truly unique, no-holds menswears that allows men to make use of interesting shapes, colors, and materials all at once while still appearing masculine.

Oooh, giveaways. I quite like the hoodie part of the vest. I already have tons of them, but one more can’t hurt!

Tom Ford is my favorite designer and it’s not just because of his work on the runway – he’s an incredibly adept businessman. I love his singular focus on himself as a brand and designer, and his neurotic focus on the smallest of details. In these dreary times, everyone needs an old-world fantasy escape.

What a coincidence. I bought the sweatpants pictured above from moxsie and wore them during this week’s freeze and boy they keep your legs warm and the lining inside really helps. Well worth the price !!
Scott

John Derian, for I love bespoke + vintage – but with a modern sensibility and twist!
Clement

D Squared.
Simples lines with a triple ounce of cool.
Jacob

Dior Homme…duh.

I could use that vest…

Karl Lagerfeld is my answer, and no, I’m not trying to be cliche.

I truly admire him for his many talents and design aesthetic. Not many people have been able to oversee so many fashion houses and enhance their success based off their diligence and hard work.

I love how he’s continually keeping Coco’s vision of Chanel going strong while always keeping things fresh and exciting. There isn’t another designer out there that is truly timeless and classic, having never gone out of style. I especially enjoy how Lagerfeld has made an effort to dip into menswear for the Chanel line, every season leaves me wanting more!

Lagerfeld does wonderful work with Fendi as well. Feeling like part of the Fendi dynasty since the moment he started with them, Lagerfeld has done so much to escalate Fendi’s leather and fur business. Each year Karl Lagerfeld finds a new way to reinvent fur, keeping such a controversial form of clothing awe-inspiring. I’ll never forget his latest fur creations: fur dipped and dusted in real gold, as well as transparent fur. Creative genius!

Then of course there’s his own collection, where he lets his passion run wild. His pieces are so classic and wearable, stylish and elegant. There’s literally no collection that I’ve not loved.

Karl Lagerfeld is a creative genius. He’s worked so hard to make Chanel and Fendi, two of the worlds biggest powerhouses, so successful without losing the integrity of their brands. He has so much going on for himself and is absolutely unstoppable – it’s because of all he’s done I’ve been able to call him my favorite designer.

cheers from seattle :-)

My favorite designer is Miuccia Prada. I have my own reasons; she is one of the few designers that has existentialist art in mind when she designs her clothing. Her philosophy blends high-art, which is often conceptual, with the practical, which means… wrenches and hammers. (By the way, I have no experience with the latter). High art is valued for its idea rather than the object itself, and you will see artists tear down pieces, after well-documenting them, in order to stress the fact that we should value the artistic concepts that went into the production of the artwork. On the other hand is the opposite extreme: tools, in the kitchen, in a garage, in a studio, which are meant to be used, and really, may not have been made with the intention of carrying any intrinsic beauty. Miuccia Prada’s explicit philosophy blends these two concepts in he artistic designs. Her raincoats, for example, straight from the runway may be made to tear apart when washed, or fall apart after the first day of wear. To me, that is ridiculous but true luxury, which is very strong statement about the haute couture world. To make disposable couture is to simultaneously build and destroy art. Of course, real successful fashion is the blending of practical and impractical, but I think her ideas are pretty revolutionary, especially for someone who could have easily, after 30 years, fallen into a rut of comfortable seasonal cycles of boring collections. I also love that she works with Jil Sander, their work is so similar! <3 <3 Xander

Vera Wang. She knows a woman’s body types, and her work is impeccable.
Shellie Seering

Love Coco Chanel…very classic and lady-like.

I love Betsy Johnson because she is bold and not afraid of taking a chance.

Michael Kors. He just designs really nice and clean styles.
Brandon Heyward

I Live for Carolina Herrera,

….i feel that she infuses a lot of fashion basics into one line. Her silouettes sometimes remind me of Calvin Klein, her prints sometimes remind me of Oscar De La Renta, and her use of fabrics and patterns remind of Yves Saint Laurent and his way of making women sexy in mens style clothing. All the while remaining significant in her own right, and never stealing from other designers while she may be influenced by them
lisa

Michael Kors, for his clean and simple designs.

My fav designer is Alexander Wang, especially his current collection. He manages to pull off the grungy aesthetic like no one else, and his clothes can transform any girl into an off-duty model. He definitely knows how to drape clothes in the right way as to make a person look pulled-together but also like they weren’t trying at all, and just rolled out of bed looking fabulous.
Jonathan

Rei Kawakubo. Her innovative designs and trademark deconstructed look have always stood in sharp contrast with the more conventional designs of Western designers – and held their own.

It’s always been a toss-up between Alexander McQueen and Nicholas Ghesquière for me, but I think I’ll give it to Nicholas for the moment. His collections have introduced head-turning silhouettes and pioneering production methods yet continue to pay some sort of homage to the legacy of Cristóbal. I always look forward to what he comes up with next and enjoy seeing his influence spread. Currently in love with the men’s varsity jacket blazer from his FW 2009 preview!

I was just looking for one of these! What a coincidence.

I can’t decide, it’s between J Lindeberg for me and Marc Jacobs. JL designs such clean and sophisticated pieces, and I can easily wear each piece I have by him to the office, to a club or to a weekend barbecue. Marc Jacobs, on the other hand, isn’t afraid of color (me either) and I love the fact that all his brands, from the higher to lower end retain his signature look. So its a tie.
