At all times, people have sought to make themselves more attractive with the help of beautiful, high-quality clothes. This is especially important today, when many people are accustomed to judging a person’s inner world by their wardrobe. This desire for beauty has given rise to such a concept as designer clothing, which is so often heard today in the media. Let’s try to figure out what it means and what trends in the world of fashion exist in clothing today.
Positive and negative sides
Primitive man used animal skins to cover his naked body from bad weather. Clothes warmed and protected from precipitation. Today, they perform a wider range of functions: they decorate the body, allow creative abilities to be realized, and reflect the state of a person's soul. That is why such a concept as clothing design appeared.
Designer clothing is an object of adoration for a huge number of people in the modern world. Many fashionistas try to stand out with the help of outfits from famous designers. Such trends have led to the emergence of a huge number of fashion brands. But is it always good to be at the peak of fashion? To understand this, it is worth understanding the main pros and cons of designer clothes and the designer's profession in general. First, it is worth learning about its advantages:
- outfits from famous clothing designers are unique, because to create them, the craftsmen use maximum imagination, creativity, unusual materials and decorative elements. We also note that they are often made in limited quantities, and exclusivity has always been considered a great advantage of clothing. That is why more and more women of all ages are trying to replenish their wardrobe with original looks;
- Often the most famous designers use only high-quality fabrics and high-quality fittings in their work. For this reason, the clothes they produce almost always have excellent performance qualities, are long-lasting, and rarely have defects. This is another tangible advantage that distinguishes designer clothes from the huge number of outfits of little-known origin;
- world designers do not limit their work to women's clothing only. A huge number of brands present models for men, teenagers, children and even pets. Therefore, you can select entire "family looks" for your family, distinguished by a single design and concept.
If we talk about the disadvantages of designer clothes, then, of course, it is worth noting the following:
- designer items are expensive. You have to pay a lot of money for exclusivity and quality, so not everyone can afford to follow the latest fashion trends;
- fashion is a specific concept. Often, the trending models and styles are not suitable for all body types. That is why a considerable number of people simply cannot follow fashion trends. For example, only in recent years have world-famous fashion designers begun to create large-size clothing lines, or "size plus". And before that, fashionable clothing collections were mainly intended for thin girls.
Popular models
Fashion brands and seasonal trends are, in a sense, a tool for influencing relationships between people, since designer clothes are considered an indicator of success and financial well-being. However, a designer does not become popular with the first thing he creates. There are “take-offs” when a certain model suddenly catches the fancy of a huge number of fashionistas and fashionistas. For example, a black short dress a la Chanel is now in the wardrobe of any self-respecting fashionista. This is a universal option that suits almost any figure.
An important role in sales of fashionable clothes is played by female models who demonstrate wardrobe items on the catwalk. They completely transform into the image created by the designers in order to convey the full depth of the designer's thought.
Among the most popular models today are the following.
| Model | Annual revenue in 2017, USD million |
| Gisele Bundchen | 30.5 |
| Adriana Lima | 10.5 |
| Kendall Jen | 10.0 |
Such high incomes of female models can be explained by the strict framework in which they have to work, the huge attention to their activities. The profession of a model is very popular, many girls dream of it since childhood, but at the same time this profession, like the profession of a designer, is extremely difficult and unstable.Names such as Adwo Aboah, Kaia Gerber, Paul Hamelin, Elton Mason are among the young but already successful models who have become a revelation for the fashion world in recent years.
Top producers
Fashion design is a complex work, an unusual world created by human hands. A huge number of manufacturers are at the peak of their fame today. Some of them make exclusively clothes, some - shoes or perfumes. There are multi-profile brands that produce a huge number of different products in order to reach the peak of profitability. Under a single brand, fashionistas can get shoes, a stylish dress, choosing an interesting model of a bag or belt to go with them. A single concept unites different products from one brand.
Let's describe the top five most popular brands today, whose products are distinguished by high quality and original design:
