What kind of fashionista would I be if I didn’t love so many designers? Here are my top 5 favourite fashion designers…
Hermes is a French high fashion house established in 1837, today specializing in leather, lifestyle accessories, perfume and luxury goods.
You know those bags that all the celebrities carry around with them? I know that Victoria Beckham has a collection of them worth over £1.5 million. Well they’re Hermes Birkin bags.
The Birkin bag is handmade in leather and named after actress and singer Jane Birkin. The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and elusiveness to the public. They range from £6,000 to £100,000.
I think I love the idea of having a Birkin bag more than anything, I mean you could buy a house for cheaper than a handbag. But man oh man are they so pretty!
Chanel is the French house of high fashion that specializes in haute couture and ready-to-wear clothes, luxury goods, and fashion accessories.
Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel once said “Fashion is about moving forward, not looking back.” That’s kind of been my philosophy in life; try, as damn hard as it is and will be, not to look back on the bad stuff in the past.
Chanel was not only wise but an utterly modern designer. She stole the masculine concepts of shirts, pyjamas, hats and trousers, and reinvented them, making them sexy and glamorous for women. Those concepts live on today and are the main reason why the brand is so popular.
I’ve always wanted just a classic Chanel handbag; one that just oozes fabulousness. All I’ve ever had from Chanel is some beauty products, make up and nail polish. They’re mascara is INSANE and they do the prettiest navy nail polish that lasts forever.
Alexander McQueen was founded by the late great designer Lee Alexander McQueen in 1992.
McQueen’s early collections developed its reputation for controversy and shock tactics, Lee was labelled “the hooligan of English fashion” with his lavish and unconventional runway shows. I love controversy and love designers just not giving a crap what people think, and that’s was Lee did.
McQueen was awarded the title “British Designer of the Year” four times between 1996 and 2003; he was also awarded the CBE and named International Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers in 2003. All very much deserved.
Alexander McQueen has made skulls so chic and fabulous. My personal skull obsession started with a sneaky impulse buy from Alexander McQueen while I was in London.
McQueen’s skull scarves have become almost synonymous with his label, with celebrities all lining up to wear his brightly coloured scarves. My black and white silk skull scarf is one of my most prized possessions, and I’m glad I spent that money on something by someone who was just amazing.
Louis Vuitton is a French fashion house founded in 1854 by Louis Vuitton; no one of the world’s leading international fashion 
houses. The label is well known for its LV monogram, which is featured on most of its products – this ranging from luxury trunks and leather goods to ready-to-wear fashion, shoes, watches, jewellery and accessories.
Louis Vuitton is quite special to me for sentimental reasons; I have two Louis Vuitton bags that were bought in actual Louis Vuitton stores not on Ebay or down some dark alley way. My first bag was bought for me by my guy who scrimped and saved for a long time to buy it for me, I think he eventually got sick of being dragged into the stores and of all my “ooohs” and “ahhhhs” every time I saw one of their gorgeous bags.
Michael Kors, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this man is a fashion genius/god! I’m literally obsessed with all things Kors and can spend hours on the Michael Kors website just daydreaming about owning everything on it.
He designs everything from casual wear to formal wear, handbags, jewellery, dresses, clothes, watches (oh the watches! OHHHH THE WATHES!) and so much more, and one thing is just as fabulous as the next.
I’m the proud owner of a Michael Kors python wallet and after spending about three hours tormenting all the staff in the Michael Kors store in London I walked out with a fabulous pony leopard print handbag which I can honestly say I love more than any mother could love their own child, ha ha ha.
His perfumes are all fabulous and I haven’t tried one that I do not like, Very Hollywood is my signature scent.
I hope to one day own a gorgeous Michael Kors watch. (I just put that in case Santa Claus is reading this…)
