Re: Who are the fashion greats?

Gene Kelly, Crystal Balenciaga, Madeleine Vionnet, Issey Miyaki, Yohji Yamamoto, Yves St. Laurent, to name a few.

I really have an incredible admiration for designer Madeline Vionet. And then it goes to Crystal Balenciaga. Yves St. Laurent created modern fashion -- the idea of what a collection should feel like about haute couture versus ready to wear; and the formula of what a fashion show should look like and being in touch with the culture -- brining street clothing into high fashion.
