Designers are characterized by certain trademarks that remain consistent throughout their careers, trademarks that are at the very core of their “design DNA.” In this episode, we explore the signature style of Marc Jacobs.
He appears to nonchalantly preside over a coveted domain that includes everything from a high-end signature line, it’s sister label – Marc by Marc Jacobs, menswear, fragrances to must-have accessories. Since his immediate firing from Perry Ellis after the showing of his notorious Spring / Summer 1993 Grunge Collection, Marc Jacobs has kept the fashion industry riveted for over two decades. The native New Yorker always brings a fearless approach to design. Jacobs provocatively incorporates retro references, his interpretation on classicism, and a potent color palette. Most importantly, a key signature of Jacobs is his ability to surprise us season after season – making him one of American’s most influential designers.

Designers are characterized by certain trademarks that remain consistent throughout their careers, trademarks that are at the very core of their “design DNA.” In this episode, we explore the distinctive style of Jean Paul Gaultier, who is often referred to as the fashion world's “enfant terrible.” He is a designer whose theatrical shows shake up the conventional outlook on style and break down the barriers on what is considered “beautiful.” From conical bras to Madonna’s corsets, Gaultier took corsetry out of the boudoir and put it on display. In Gaultier’s hands, the nautical stripe became a decoration that was made for more than just sailing. He is a consummate rule-breaker, and can mix multicultural references like no other. But it is his playful wit and adoration for Paris and French culture that is second to none in the fashion world.

The genius of Gianni Versace was his unification of contemporary culture and high art into clothes that were daring, sexy and exuberantly colored. His stunning collections were a tangible expression of his “joie de vivre” which was tragically cut short in 1997 when he was murdered outside his Miami home. After his death, his sister, Donatella Versace, took on the design reigns and has taken the house to new levels, while still maintaining the glamour and sex-appeal of the Versace brand.
