These top ten designers deserve their own Academy Awards!  Vivienne Westwood. Westwood is unique, and her "punk style" is making its own mark. True, not all of us can carry off the "Sex Pistols" look (dog collars, spikes, razors, safety pins, black leather, and velvet), but years from now, she may be to the future generation what Dior, Chanel, and YSL were to today's fashionistas. She hasn't made the Oscar walk yet, but the wedding gown she made for Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex In the City) has been the talk of the town. Not only that, she made Camilla Parker Bowles look good, and fortunately, not in a punk outfit. That has to count!

Oscar Dela Renta. Feminine, flashy, flowery, and fashionable: Oscar De La Renta's ornate and luxurious style make you want to wear ruffles, lace, and floral designs. His signature style includes beads, buttons, and ornaments on his designs, and if you feel like you can get away with it, try on a gown, just like Sandra Bullock a few years back. Versace. Donatela Versace had big shoes to fill, but she certainly Chanel 2.55 proved that she was more than just "Giani's sister".

Givenchy. Hubert de Givenchy not only gave rise to his own fashion empire of modern and ladylike styles, but has influenced and developed many of today's fashion designers, as well. The dressed the classic Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina, setting the benchmark for elegance. Some names that have been connected with Givenchy are Alexander McQueen, the fashion world's "enfant terrible" and Chanel Outlet UK John Galliano, who is also affiliated with Dior. Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. Before anyone else, there was Christian Dior, and with Marlene Dietrich as one of his primary clients, Dior set the standards for high fashion.
