@joethelion1 Good Call. I cannot disagree with you. Was tough to leave them and others out. I went with the 3 criteria mentioned at the beginning of the video and then the top ten came to the fore a bit more than others. But yes, very close. Thanks for watching and your comment. Much appreciated.
@@fashionfix6 Yes, I heard the criteria. I don't see how #3 applies to Ford, he's a fashion director, his success as a 'fashion designer' failed with YSL - the collections were universally panned and lasted, I think, 2 seasons. Yes, he totally revolutionized Gucci, almost the equivalent of parting the Red Sea, but recently Alessandro did almost the same. Besides the 3 mentioned previously, I'd replace him with Hedi Slimane (everything he touches turns to gold and may be the new FD at Chanel although I'd prefer Galliano or Pierpaolo), Marc Jacobs (with his grunge at Ellis before bringing his mix of US streetwear mixed with sportswear to the forefront and then revolutionizing LV) and Nicolas Ghesquière (who's talent revolutionized Balenciaga and fashion) ahead of Ford and Donatella. The one most worthy of the top 10 - Galliano, besides his legacy of work, that recent Margiela show will be talked about for years and I'm confident he will pull that off again. Given the opportunity, he could probably be as successful as Karl designing distinctly unique collections for different labels each season. Cristobal Balenciaga would be my next choice - but I like your choices and video!
@@fashionfix6 I recognize there is still tepid acceptance of Galliano but he really worked at rising above that, proving himself and the reason for that trepidation is receding. You are well aware McQueen and Galliano were both considered talents of the same caliber, in fact John was considered the more accomplished of the 2 so including McQueen and not Galliano seems odd...what if John was also deceased?
Great history piece on the rise of fashion. Why so many dudes at the top of this trade? Maybe men see women's form differently to how women see themselves..........
Thanks for watching and comment. Yes interesting observation. Maybe they do have different eye for it. Also, I can only guess that more men were willing to work the crazy hours required to do this job at the highest level. And women preferred a more balanced lifestyle. But I think that is also changing. Thanks again !
Nice list but could easily see Tom Ford replaced with Halston, Galliano or Cristobal Balenciaga.
