Re: Favorite Designers: now and zen



I am not sure how to play this, since I had a few stages and a lot of designers I loved then, I love now... I guess I'll do stages.

Now:

Poell

Carpe Diem

Circa 2k - now:

Raf Simons

Ann Demeulemeester

Yohji Yamamoto

Margiela

Helmut Lang

Zen:

Dirk Bikkimbergs - led me from the likes of Moschino to my interest in Belgians

Costume National - led to that special NYC black Zeitgeist.

Also, I must say that I thank Barneys. This is where I started to explore the non-huge brands.

P.S. Couple of designers who either don't do menswear, or whose womenswear I love;

Olivier Theyskens

Jurgi Persoons (RIP)

Bruno Pieters

Rei Kawakubo of CDG

Alaia

Ann Valerie Hash

Dries van Noten
