Spring fashions continued — Jean Patou to Yves Saint-Laurent.
This second spring page continues the season where page 1 left off: easy access to spring fashion photos, spring fashion collections and spring fashion news, from Jean Patou through Yves Saint-Laurent. Page 1 covers Alexander McQueen to Issey Miyake — the series block below links both pages, so the complete spring list is one click away from either.

The names on this page include the defining spring hands of the modern directory. Jean-Paul Gaultier files spring as wit and construction at once; Karl Lagerfeld's spring record reinvents a house code every warm season; Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs file spring as event dressing; Ralph Lauren files the American spring — crisp, bright, resort-ready; Stella McCartney files it in light, conscious materials; and Valentino, Vera Wang and Yves Saint-Laurent close the page with evening, bridal and couture weight. Burberry's spring fashions are filed here too — the trench coat's home label working its lightest season.
Each entry leads to that designer's spring fashions page: the season's photos, collections and news filed together. Read across the page and a pattern emerges that no single designer shows alone — spring is where the directory's designers are at their most various, because warm weather licenses more kinds of dressing than any other season.
Every designer here also has a fall record, and the contrast is the point of the seasons system: the same name designing in light cloth and fresh color on these pages designs in heavy construction and deep color on the fall pages. The Fashion Designer Seasons hub explains the naming and the cycle, and the fall collections are linked in the directory list below for readers who want to make the comparison directly.
From any entry, the rest of the designer's file is close at hand — collections, runway, fashion week, news and profiles pages all sit under the designer's name in this guide, so a spring visit can widen into the full record without starting over.
Page 2 runs from Jean Patou through Yves Saint-Laurent — including Jean-Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Valentino and Vera Wang — and also files Burberry's spring fashions.
The series block links page 1 (Alexander McQueen to Issey Miyake) alongside this page, and the directory list carries a return link to page 1 as well.
Spring collections are the spring/summer season — designed for warm weather, with fabric construction and color chosen for spring and summer wear.
