Prada dissevered to be on this list. At least an honorable mention..

[liviaatum]

Since I was little, Coco Channel was my inspiration and I really wanted to be a fashion designer. I know she would be in first place, she is just fabulous and revolutionary.

[DanM]

It's sad that the next list of modern designers will be full of images of Kanye and the Kardashians.

[SIOPOWWW]

I am shocked that YSL and Lagerfeld are lower than Ralph Lauren like what the hell?

[sterlingross]

I don't think Gucci Gucci should be on this list. He wasn't a designer. He created a brand, not a design house. If this were a list of Top 10 classic brands then Gucci should be on it. The only reason Gucci is known for their clothes is because of Tom Ford. Also, Yves Saint Laurent should be much higher than eight. He revolutionized fashion. Ralph Lauren should also not be on the list. He's more of a lifestyle designer than anything else. Cristobal Balenciaga was one of the greatest fashion designers of all time (Dior called him "the master of us all" and he was Hubert de Givenchy's mentor). He also is the one who created the sack dress, not Givenchy, so he should have the number 2 spot (I prefer Dior but I think Dior should be #3 and Balenciaga should be #2). Halston and Charles James should also be somewhere on this list.

Mr Balenciaga should've been one. He changed the fashion world. And he's the inspiration for Dior and Chanel

[nelaasavic]

Maybe you can do top 10 movies about fashion industry?

[Achiez-z]

I'm glad Jeanne Lanvin is at least in the honorable mentions. This is a good list WatchMojo. Good job.

[scottrichardson]

Yves Saint Laurent has had the greatest impact on modern fashion he should have been higher

[enriquecruz]

What about Alexander McQueen;this is an outrage he's one of the best

[venanciahopkins]

Dolce and Gabbana are fashion legends and should be on this list!

[christianjohntoledano]

hello? no Hermés and Louis Vuitton? but these 2 are definition of Classic!

[irevana]

This is a bit wrong.... But I’m extremely happy that Versace is here! Fav brand by far!

[just_cade]

No Galliano? I may not agree with everything that he has done, but no other designer challenges convention or innovates fashion like John Galliano. His attention to detail and limitless vision is unmatched in my opinion. Also Alexander McQueen should have been here, an incredible artist who died too soon.

[gwendolynbien-aime]

Finally, a Watch Mojo list I can agree with. Chanel HAD to be #1....it's still my dream to have a Chanel suit and bag! I live any and all things Chanel.

[DenKulesteSomFins]

Louis Vuitton should be on the list, and maybe Jean Paul Gaultier should be mentioned
