Fashion Designer Profiles, Page 2

In this section you will find easy access to fashion designer profiles and information regarding fashion designers, conveniently categorized by the fashion designer's name. This second page of the profiles index covers the second part of the alphabet, from Hattie Carnegie through Yves Saint-Laurent. If you enjoy reading about famous fashion designers, this is the place for you: choose a name from the directory list directly below and go straight to that designer's profiles pages.

The index is split across two pages so each stays a usable directory rather than a single endless list. The first page of the index, linked in the references as the Fashion Designer Profiles main page, covers the alphabet from Alexander McQueen through Gloria Vanderbilt. The site search box at the top of this page searches the whole of Apparel Search, for readers who know the name they want but not where it is filed.

Designer Profiles Filed by Name

Filing profiles by designer name is the working method of this whole section: coverage of a designer belongs with the designer, so a reader researching one name — for study, for buying, or for the history of design — can find the profiles record without picking through stories about everyone else. Each entry in the directory list above leads to that designer's own profiles page in this guide, where the coverage is gathered with the search routes to current stories, photos and videos kept live by the search engines themselves.

The names on this page run the second part of the alphabet, from Hattie Carnegie through Yves Saint-Laurent. Read together with the companion index — the designer news index, linked in the references — this page completes one half of the section's filing system: profiles for the biographical record, news for the running record. A designer who appears in one index will ordinarily appear in the other, under the same name and in the same alphabetical position.

Using the Profiles Index

Start with the directory list: it sits high on this page because the list is the page's purpose, and every name in it is one click from that designer's profiles. Readers following a designer over time will find the profiles pages reward repeat visits — the filed pages in this guide stay fixed, while the search routes on each designer's page surface whatever coverage is current. Dates matter when reading designer profiles: fashion coverage recycles famous imagery across every era, and checking a story's date against the designer's filed record is the reliable way to place it.

The first page of the index, linked in the references as the Fashion Designer Profiles main page, covers the alphabet from Alexander McQueen through Gloria Vanderbilt. For the full designer directory — every designer in this section, filed by name — the Fashion Designers hub and the designers-by-name index are linked in the references as well.
