 Zandra Rhodes  a brit divat- és textiltervező még a ’60-as évek végén robbant be a köztudatba színpompás kreációival.  A punk divattervezők immár 76 éves nagyasszonyának számít, akinek óriási múltja van, ruhái olyan híres személyekről köszöntek vissza mint Diana hercegnő, Bianca Jagger, Diana Ross és Freddie Mercury.

 Sokszor volt olyan hullámvasút az életében amikor nem annyira kerültek a munkái reflektor fényben. Majd lehet pontosan ezért, amikor újra “felfedezték” őt még nagyobb lendülettel robbant be a divatéletbe de valójában ő mindig is jelen volt és a szenvedélyének élt.

The Designer Bible - Part 99.- Zac Posen

Zac Posen 1980-ban született, Manhattanben. A divat iránti érdeklődéese már gyermekkorában is megvolt.

Már 16 éves korától a Parsons designer iskola előkészítőjére járt. Majd az érettségi után három évig a Metropolitan Múzeum Divatintézetében Richard Martin kurátor szárnyai alatt dolgozott.

A nagy áttörést az hozta meg számára, amikor Naomi Campbellnek tervezhetett ruhát, ekkor kezdett el érdeklődni a szakma utána.  2001-es első divatbemutatója után pályája üstökösként ívelt felfelé. 2004-ben ő lett az év női ruhatervezője a CFDA/VOGUE Awardson.

Ralph Lauren was born Ralph Lifshitz (I don't think any of us question him changing his name - don't say you wouldn't do the same) in 1939. He is an American fashion designer, owner of the  Ralph Lauren Corporation clothing company, one of the biggest, most valuable brands on planet Earth. Mr. Lauren stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of the company in September 2015, but he still remains the Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer.

Let's also not forget that he is the 155th richest person in the world.

After being in the military, he became a salesperson for Brooks Brothers, and then became the sales assistant at a tie company. At the age of 26, he was really inspired to make a wider, European-style necktie, but the company did not support his idea, so he quit and made his own company, worked from a drawer, basically, until Neimann Marcus found him, and ordered 1200 pieces of his tie. SUCCESS STORY!
