Max Azria is a Jewish fashion designer of Tunisian descent who founded the popular midscale women's clothing line BCBG in 1989. Originally from Tunisia, Max Azria was born in Paris where he entered the fashion industry. Moving to California in the 1980s, he created BCBG, an acronym for the French saying bon chic, bon genre, which in English means "good style, good attitude." BCBG was designed to bring European sophistication to American women. BCBG's trendy, chic, and unique styles and patterns were immediately popularized in California and throughout the West Coast, becoming particularly favored in Washington, Arizona and Nevada. After the company opened a flagship store in New York City, BCBG became internationally known in the fashion world. Max Azria later created an upscale collection known as The Max Azria Collection sold only through selected company-owned boutique stores, before launching BCBGirls, BCBG//Attitude, To The Max, Parallel and acquiring the Hervé Léger label. The company has recently taken over the Rave, G+G, and Ravegirls stores and created Max Rave - a line of clothes that are for juniors and are accessible at cheaper prices than the couture brands but with the same high quality. The company opened its first freestanding "Max Azria" boutique on Los Angeles' Melrose Avenue in 1993. Newly added are shops in West Palm Beach, New York's SoHo, and Southern California's Newport Beach. More recently the BCBG Max Azria brand sells in the United Kingdom as a concession within Harvey Nichols stores in London, Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh. BCBG Max Azria also operates stores in France, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland. Max Azria is popular among many young celebrities including Paris Hilton, Fergie, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Martineau, Jessica Simpson and Sophia Bush. click here for more details about Max AzriaLabels: BCBG, bon chic, bon genre, good attitude, good style, Jewish fashion designer, Max Azria
Thakoon Panichgul is an American fashion designer. Panichgul moved to the United States with his family when he was 11 years old, and grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. Panichgul has a talent for blending distinctly different influences into his work, imparting a feminine spirit into a youthful, sporty line. The result is clothing that projects poised elegance with an underlying hint of playful wit.
Growing up, Panichgul was interested in photography, and always had an eye for styling. After graduating from Boston University in 1997 with a business degree, he moved to New York. As a fashion writer, Panichgul discovered that his ideas were often conceived through a designer's point of view, and he eventually pursued formal studies at Parsons School of Design from 2001 to 2003. In September 2004, Panichgul produced his first ready to wear collection and quickly became a favorite with the fashion press, top editors and stylists, and celebrities like Rachel Bilson, Demi Moore, and Sarah Jessica Parker. He has become known for timelessly feminine designs which are as romantic and sensual as they are modern and innovative.
Panichgul is fascinated by decorative ideas that spin out of constructing clothes. Where classic patterns have existed for decades, the nuances for finishing the garments are reexamined. The subtle strokes, he believes, make all the difference. His appreciation for the luxury of the past is a foundation of the collection, which has been described as forward-looking, respectful of the past, and not at all vintage. In fact, his delicate deconstructions are entirely modern, owing more to the Antwerp Six than to Vionnet. Though his collection might be perfect for a modern Madame de Pompadour, it would suit an L.A. starlet just as well.
Stuart A. Weitzman (born in 1942; wife, Jane Weitzman) is the designer of the international, high-end shoe company, Stuart Weitzman.
Stuart Weitzman's trademark use of unique materials (e.g., cork, vinyl, lucite, wallpaper, and 24-karat gold), and his attention to detail, garnered him and his company a global following. His shoes are sold in 45 countries.
Weitzman's father, Seymour Weitzman, started a shoe factory in Haverhill, Massachusetts, in the late 1950s, "Seymour Shoes". Weitzman began designing shoes for his father's business in the early 1960s, when he was in his 20s.
Weitzman graduated George W. Hewlett High School in 1958, and the Wharton School of Business in 1963. When Seymour Weitzman died in 1965, Stuart took over the business with his older brother, Warren Weitzman. They sold the business to a company in Spain in 1972, but Stuart continued to design shoes for the company. In 1994, he bought back the business, but continues to manufacture his shoe designs in Spain.
Since 2002, Weitman has provided one-of-a-kind, "million dollar" shoes to an Oscar nominee to wear at the Oscars. For the 2007 Oscar ceremony, shoes were designed for and provided to Diablo Cody, who subsequently declined to wear them, stating that she was not aware of nor interested in the publicity attendent with wearing the shoes.

In 1975 the Bruce Oldfield label was born with the launch of ready-to-wear collections for European and American stores. He began making couture clothes in 1978 for individual clients and from 1980 for the late Diana, Princess of Wales. In 1984 he opened his first shop selling ready-to-wear and couture to an international clientele
In 1990 Oldfield was awarded the OBE for services to fashion and industry; and in 2004 he published his autobiography "Rootless". He has Honorary Fellowships to the Royal College of Art and the Universities of Durham and Sheffield, was Governor of The London Institute (1999-2001) and Trustee of the Royal Academy of Arts (2000-2002). In December 2001, Oldfield received an Honorary Doctorate of Civil Law (Hon DCL) from the University of Northumbria at Newcastle and in 2005 an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Central England.

Phoebe Philo (Paris, 1973-) is an English fashion designer.
Phoebe Philo is a former fashion designer of the fashion house Chloe. Philo began working for Chloe in 1997 as Stella McCartney's design assistant. Philo succeeded McCartney as creative director of the iconic luxury label in 2001 after McCartney was offered the chance to start her own label with the Gucci Group. Philo resigned from her role at Chloe on January 5, 2006. Her reasons for leaving included a desire to spend more time with her family.
Philo graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 1996, a year after Stella McCartney. When McCartney landed the job at Chloe, she decided to bring Philo along as an assistant. Philo claims that she learned a lot about design from McCartney and many say that Philo added a "street sensibility" to McCartney's designs.Like McCartney, Philo is a vegetarian and will not work with fur, but whereas McCartney (a strict vegetarian) will not work with leather either, Philo will.
Philo has, at times, been credited with making Chloe cool again, as it had been in the 1960's and 1970's under the rule of fashion-zeitgeist, Karl Lagerfeld. Some of the It items produced by Chloe under Phoebe Philo include high-waisted jeans and babydoll dresses, wooden wedge shoes (something of a phenomenon at the time) and stack heeled buckled boots, horn, bat and fossil butterfly necklaces and of course, the Bracelet, Camera, Silverado, Paddington (arguably the most popular It Bag of all time), Betty and Edith handbags, which adorned the arm of every celebrity and celebrity-wannabe.
Cynthia Rowley (born 29 July 1958) is an American fashion designer.
A native of Barrington, Illinois (an affluent northwestern suburb of Chicago), she is one of three children born to Ed Rowley, a former science teacher, and his wife, Clementine. She graduated from Barrington High School in Barrington, Illinois (1976) and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1981).

"Several months later, she held a fashion show in her apartment, inviting every important fashion editor in New York, as well as Andy Warhol and a smattering of movie stars none of whom she knew."
Since then the Cynthia Rowley Collection, incorporated in 1988,has grown to include women's wear, shoes, handbags, eyewear, belts, dishes, legwear, hats, color cosmetics, and fragrance. It is sold in Cynthia Rowley shops in New York, Chicago, East Hampton, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and in the Cynthia Rowley online boutique. Shops in Beijing and Shanghai are opening soon.The collection is also represented in better department and specialty stores both domestically and internationally.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America honored Rowley with a Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent (1994) and a nomination for the Perry Ellis Award for New Menswear Design Talent.
The designer and Ilene Rosenzweig, her best friend and a former reporter for The New York Times, also created a line of home accessories called Swell, which made its debut at Target in 2003.
