Karl Lagerfeld’s contribution to the Fendi brand is perhaps best exemplified by his lightning-fast creation of the iconic “FF” Zucca logo. In just three seconds, Lagerfeld managed to infuse Fendi’s nearly century-old identity with a fresh and youthful energy. Of course, Lagerfeld’s lasting legacy at Fendi extends far beyond a simple logo redesign. From 1965 until his death in 2019, he served as the brand’s creative director, constantly pushing the boundaries of what the luxury label could achieve. While Kim Jones is now at the helm of Fendi, the brand’s bold and dramatic use of furs and leather remains a hallmark of the designer’s vision. Fendi stands alongside other legendary designer brands as a testament to Lagerfeld’s indelible influence on the fashion world. Founded by Alfred Dunhill more than 120 years ago, this London designer brand has from a long day from its origins. Alfred inherited his father’s saddlery business, where he began developing leather car goods. Over the years, the family business entered into the luxury goods space, leading us to where it is today. It has become one of the industry’s oldest and largest top designer brands with menswear, leather goods, accessories, fragrances, and watches. Founded by 1920s tennis champion Rene Lacoste, one of the greatest top designer brands of all time emerged from a determination to improve sporting apparel, which, at that time, was largely woven. He is credited with the invention of cotton pique, a sturdy knit fabric that, to this day, is still used in the company’s iconic polo shirts. Over time the Lacoste range has grown to include a strong offering of technical and outerwear apparel with punchy coloration and classic tennis shoes.

Balenciaga is a designer brand that originated in the Basque Country of Spain before relocating to France due to the Spanish Civil War. Known for their sleek and linear lines, Balenciaga’s designs went against the popular hourglass shape popularized by Christian Dior during the post-war era. The fashion house made waves in the 1950s with their revolutionary approach to women’s fashion and trademark styles such as the collar that deviated from the collar bone and the “bracelet sleeves.” In 2001, Balenciaga was acquired by French company Kering, which also owns other top designer brands including Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Alexander McQueen. With continued impressive growth, Balenciaga remains a strong contender in the world of designer fashion. Balmain has established itself as one of the leading designer brands in the fashion industry, known for its rich decorative fabrics and luxe trims. The luxury fashion house has a strong French heritage that is reflected in its innovative designs and attention to detail. From their signature gold medallions to the newly re-designed logo, each piece is adorned with Balmain’s distinctive embellishments, including buttons, symbols, blazon coat of arms, gold ornaments, or tassels. Balmain has also collaborated with other top designer names, such as H&M and Victoria’s Secret, further solidifying its reputation as a powerhouse in the fashion world.

Louis Vuitton is one of the most iconic designer brands in the world today, but it wasn’t always that way. As a teenager in 1837, Louis Vuitton arrived in Paris and began his career as a trunk maker. After many years of honing his craft and building his reputation, he set up his own brand, which became known for its high-quality trunks and impeccable craftsmanship. The famous “LV” monogram was created in response to the flood of fake Louis Vuitton trunks in the market. As the 20th century rolled around, the brand expanded into leather bags, which brought even greater cultural cachet to the brand. In 1997, the brand began producing clothing under Marc Jacobs, and later on, Kim Jones introduced streetwear elements that culminated in the LV x Supreme collaboration in FW17. The recent appointment of Virgil Ablohas head of menswear was a bold move for the brand, but sadly, he passed away in November 2021.

Established over a century ago by Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex pioneered watch innovation as we know it today. It was in 1926 when the Oyster, the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, took Rolex to new heights of fame. Since then, the designer brand has spread its reach across the globe, providing timepieces that are a testament to resilience. Rolex watches are designed for the extremes – capable of withstanding the rigors of deep-sea dives, soaring flights, and high-intensity races. Today, Rolex remains among the top luxury watch brands renowned for its style, innovation, and timelessness. It’s no surprise that the brand’s second-hand market is incredibly lucrative, with a Rolex being guaranteed to increase in value over time. In addition to operas, Cavalli wrote settings of the Magnificat in the grand Venetian polychoral style, settings of the Marian antiphons, other sacred music in a more conservative manner – notably a Requiem Mass in eight parts ( SSAATTBB), probably intended for his own funeral – and some instrumental music. [2] Sacred works [ edit ] Dubbed one of the most American designer brands in fashion history, Timmy Hilfiger is an inspirational and influential designer. Pursuing fashion as a career in the ‘80s, Tommy created button-down shirts, chinos, and pieces reminiscent of the preppy culture; in the decades since, it has become more than just a fashion brand. Tommy Hilfiger has inspired the next generation of culture, sparking the preppy revival of the ‘00s and in the hip-hop scene. Aside from fashion, Tommy Hilfiger supports and encourages philanthropic efforts such as Save the Children and the World Wildlife Fund. Today’s designers target an increasingly broad audience with their boundary-crossing work, and their tendency to play off of each other’s ideas means that every walk down the runway is also a walk through an entire history of fashion design and dress craftsmanship.While most will think of luxury designers as haute couture or ready-to-wear, Derek Rose defies them all with its high-end loungewear and pajamas. The intimate apparel designer was founded in 1926, focusing on making the wearer feel relaxed and comfortable. In 1987, it received the Queen’s Award for Export Achievement and expanded its stores worldwide. Even 100 years later, its luxurious fabrics and effortless designs are intended for those who want to enjoy their free time. Fonseca-Wollheim, Corinna da (8 March 2013). "A Senate of Prostitutes?

In 2001 Thom Browne realized that there was a gap in the market for formal clothing because everyone had become overly casual in how they dressed. Therefore, the designer brand specializes in suits and formal wear, making even their casual clothing quite dressy. However, the most noteworthy thing about Thom Browne is that he loves playing with traditional proportions and creating clothes that are ‘shrunken,’ reconceptualizing the classic men’s suit while also accepting gender fluidity by dressing his male models in skirts, dresses, and heels.
