Handclapsfingasnapz said:

anything, everyone has preferences in different catagories.

Cars?
Interiors?
Furniture?
Clothes?
Architecture?
Alot of the catagories are synonyms with one designer.

Brioni



Kiton



Zegna



Attolini



Thom Brown (for the shock value)

Pardon me, I just wanted to see how the other half live.

Start a designer of food on the table thread and I'm there.

Honestly, I don't know why I don't follow fashion more than I do. Those are probably the only 2 designers I can name who's stuff I consistently love, but there's sooooo much out there I like.
Just looking up those pictures makes my heart just swell and about burst.

I don't know why beautiful clothes make me feel that way, they just do.

CarrieMpls said:

great design does that

my number two whcich goes hand in hand with fornasetti since he is the designer of the furniture he applied is lithographs to. For those who don't know, The James Brown of Modernism, in other words the GODFATHER GIO PONTI










he is the reason that there is any such thing as modern design deco,moderne, post modern etc.

Right now our troops are occupying one of his architectural designs in Iraq.
It was imorptant they did this to save it from being destroyed.

I liked Replay Blue Jeans (is that the name?). Unfortunately, my three favourites items were all ruined in the wash by my mother before I was old enough to find myself poor enough to not be able to give a shit.

I can't afford nor fit into anything from my favorite designers. And most of the stuff that really gets me going it isn't practical anyway.

I still love them, though.

Gianni is light years above Donatella!!!

She survives on the legacy of her brother... plus he left the company to her daughter who took over when she turned 18 last year.

ehuffnsd said:

Who cares? I still like the clothes.

SpisaRibb said:

I do love Fornasetti too...his work was way ahead of its time.
