Spring fashions, designer by designer — page 1: Alexander McQueen to Issey Miyake.
In this section you will find easy access to spring fashion photos, spring fashion collections, spring fashion news and more from your favorite fashion designers. Each entry below leads to one designer's spring fashions page in this guide. This first page runs from Alexander McQueen through Issey Miyake; the second page continues from Jean Patou to Yves Saint-Laurent, and the series block links the two from either page.

Spring is the warm-weather half of the fashion calendar — the spring/summer collection, designed to be worn as the year warms. Fabric construction and color are selected for the season: lighter cloth, airier construction, fresher color. A designer's spring fashions page files that side of their work — the dresses, light tailoring and warm-weather pieces built for spring and summer — together with the photos and news the season produced.
The designers on this page answer that brief in famously different ways. Coco Chanel's spring record is the foundation of modern warm-weather dressing; Christian Dior's is its romantic counterweight; Dolce & Gabbana file spring as Mediterranean celebration, while Calvin Klein files it as American minimalism. The alphabetical list puts those answers side by side, which is exactly what makes a seasonal directory worth reading rather than merely searching.
The spring collections are filed in two alphabetical pages: this page covers the first half of the designer directory, and page 2 — linked in the series block and again in the directory list — covers the rest, closing with Yves Saint-Laurent. Every designer's spring page sits inside that designer's own record in the guide, alongside their collections, fall fashions, runway, fashion week, news and profiles pages, so a reader who arrives for one season can reach the whole file from any entry.
The spring and fall lists belong to one system. The Fashion Designer Seasons hub explains how collections are named by year and season, and the guide's pages on spring fashion and summer fashion, linked below, fill in the season's character. If you enjoyed the spring collections, the fall collections show the same designers answering the opposite brief: heavy cloth, deep color, cold-weather dressing.
Easy access to each designer's spring fashion photos, spring collections and spring fashion news — the spring/summer side of their seasonal record.
Page 1 runs from Alexander McQueen through Issey Miyake, including Calvin Klein, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani.
The fall lists are the mirror image of these pages, in two pages of their own; the Fashion Designer Seasons hub links both seasons and explains the cycle.
