Why designers wear black




















It was my teddy bear, which is just behind me. Because you know me, I wanted to have a doll, but my parents were thinking for a boy is not good to have a doll, so I have my teddy bear. So I put some extension, cone bra, so fake breasts to my teddy bear.

So, it started like that. Me, I saw her, she was in Top of the Pop in London and she was dancing, nicely dressed and I said, "Oh, that girl is great. She must be English. So I was like, "Oh, she's great. I started by seeing first one movie, which is just there in that screen, TV screen. It was the movie called Falabella. And I saw it before I was thinking maybe to make already costume, but for inaudible shows. And there I saw it was a story of a couturier with his muse.

So, I wanted to do that work and on the day of my birthday, of my 18 years old, I receive - Mademoiselle receive a phone call from the House of Cardin, Pierre Cardin, who ask me to come. And I came with my mother because I was too shy. And we went there and he asked me to work for him. Sometimes it's even like some contract.

They are paid on contract to wear the clothes, so it doesn't mean anything to me. I remember in the '80s I was so happy, like, to see, like, for example, to discover that George Michael, Boy George were wearing my clothes, you know, like, Duran Duran and it was great - David Bowie.

So it was for me like a big - he went to a shop and bought it. So for me it was like - I was, like, feeling happy and loved. Now is not exactly the same thing because it's inaudible to offer, so I am not at all into that because I think that each work needs to be paid in some way, no? Here, we've rounded up 15 designers who are unabashed outfit repeaters.

How long has Carolina Herrera been wearing this outfit to take her bows after runway shows? We don't really remember a time before it, to be honest. It's easy to see what makes it fail-proof: a white button-up never goes out of style, an A-line skirt is always flattering and subtly pointy-toed heels are timeless. Photos: Julien M. Hekimian and Jemal Countess for Getty Images. Sometimes called the "Poet of Black," Yamamoto is famous for creating avant-garde designs without venturing far from his favorite non-color.

Above all black says this: 'I don't bother you — don't bother me! Does Gurung wear this white tee and jeans combo repeatedly because he wants to casually show off his toned arms? Is he trying to make sure he doesn't ruin a fancy outfit by sweating in it during his post-show runway sprint? Did he just look at a lot of young Marlon Brando pictures in his formative years? We may never know. Vera Wang is happy to change up the texture and style of her ensembles, but there are a few constants she usually adheres to: head-to-toe black, towering heels, no sleeves and long layers.

Hey, you can't blame her for being a gal who knows what she likes. Lanvin 's beloved former creative director already has the kind of face that could inspire an incredibly likable animated Pixar character.

Add to that Elbaz 's signature suit and a bow tie in a fun color — like bright pink or satiny mustard — and the image is complete. Can someone get a screenwriter on this, stat? Olivier Rousteing may design a lot of glitzy dresses for his Balmain army of model besties and Kardashian-Jenner-Wests, but he often limits his own bling to the gold buttons on his double-breasted blazer.

And honestly, when you've got cheekbones that are insanely selfie-ready, why bother distracting from that? Riccardo Tisci is known for the way he's infused Givenchy with a romantic, Gothic sensibility, but his own favored look is mostly pared-down and modern. We're willing to bet that it's extremely comfy and low-maintenance, too — other than the white sneakers, which probably take some effort to keep that sparkling white.

Michael Kors ' signature outfit is full of sartorial choices that are easy to understand: the blazer adds polish while the T-shirt keeps things from looking stuffy; the loafers are a no-brainer shoe for anyone wanting to find a happy medium between laid-back and professional. I think the best way to wear all black is to really mix up your textures and your proportions. Wang: Texture. I mean, I'm wearing black jersey and black denim and charcoal socks right now. Today I did decide to wear leopard pony-hair shoes.

Usually I'm wearing kind of, like, black sneakers or things like that. It's not that I always feel like there has to be an injection of something of a print or something humorous, or, you know, unexpected in that kind of outside of black, but I do think it really is about how you wear it.

I think a good pair of black jeans, you know, are really important and kind of a great, kind of universal piece to have. Wang: I mean, obviously it applies differently for each person. I think it's really about knowing your body type and kind of how to wear certain kinds of archetypes or materials that kind of exemplify your attitude and your sensibility. I tend to wear things a little bit looser, a little bit more oversized, 'cause I do like things that feel a little bit more offbeat, a little bit more casual, in every situation.

So even my blazers are a bit more unstructured, you know, my pants are a little bit looser, the crotch is a little bit more dropped. I think it really depends who the person is. Sometimes black can feel very strict, very buttoned-up, you know, whether you're wearing a tight black turtleneck and kind of leggings, and things like that, which is also something that we've done in the brand, but kind of how you layer it up and, you know, throwing kind of a big sweater or a big kind of, you know, cardigan or a jacket over it really kind of changes that attitude immediately.

I never like to dictate, because I just don't think there's any rules anymore. You know, there really aren't. You know, I might say that right now and somebody might come in in a skin-tight black outfit, and I'd be like, "Oh, [bleep], she looks great.
