Know Everything About All Top Fashion Designers

Each country and culture has its own dedicated team of fashion designers that not only lead the way in that trends country, but also influence the rest of the world in their way and style of wearing items.

The primary areas of fashion influence are Europe and America, and these translate to the rest of the world. French, Italian, American and British designers are amongst the best in the world, and their designs are copied slavishly by many others. Leading Italian designers include Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Moschino, Valentino, Gucci, Fendi, Versace, Missoni and Prada.

The Italian designers dominate the field of global fashion, but they are joined by French designers, who are almost as important in their influence. French designers include, Givenchy, Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gautier, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix and Hermes, whose names, along with all the other major designers are known throughout the planet, and whose creations adorn the bodies or arms of every celebrity worldwide.

British and American designers, although not as famous as their French or Italian counterparts, still achieve a high level of recognition and celebrity. British designers of note include Ted Baker, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, John Galliano, Julien MacDonald, Vivienne Westwood, Mulberry and Zandra Rhodes. Their American equivalents are more renowned, but this may be due to the more widespread influence worldwide of American culture. American designers of importance include, Liz Claiborne, Tommy Hilfiger, Donna Karan (DKNY), Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang and Fitch and Abercrombie.

These designers bring out new designer handbags and designer clothes and combinations every season, but they are actually working at the time on clothes for seasons a year or two in advance at any one time. These are closely guarded secrets by the fashion industry, which conveys the power that these individuals and their fashion houses have over society. A pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes is enough to make even the most put-together woman go crazy! He, along with Gina and Jimmy Choo amongst others, are the designers whose creations can be found pounding, or should that be gracing the pavements of countries worldwide, on the feet of all those with the pocket to afford them. Everyone else just admires them from afar, and has to make do with the high street shoe fashions that are influenced, as high street clothes are, by designer's styles and designs. The power of the designer is all-encompassing; if they make something fashionable, everyone around the world will be wearing it within a few weeks.

Designers know they have this power of idea and innovation, and will continue to use it to influence global fashions throughout the eras.
