Why are the leading women's clothing designers men?

How often in shopping centers can we observe the following picture: while the wife is trying on her twentieth dress, the sad, drooping husband stands quietly to the side, and in his entire appearance one can read a lack of understanding of why one style is so different from another. But how did it happen that it was male designers who became the trendsetters of women's fashion?

Why are male designers more successful than women?

A male designer admires a woman, and his goal is to highlight female beauty as clearly as possible with the help of clothes. High fashion is art, and art, as we know, is largely built on admiration. Only a fashion designer who sincerely admires the fair half of humanity is able to create a costume that turns Cinderella into a princess.

The goal of any look, be it an ordinary everyday outfit or a luxurious wedding dress, is to make the girl desirable and attractive. A man sees much better what a woman’s outfit should be like in order to impress others.

In addition, the designer requires analytical thinking.After all, the work of creating a pattern is similar to the work of an engineer. As you know, women tend to have a sensual perception of the world, but men often shine with logic.

Reaching career heights requires years of hard work. Many representatives of the fair sex at some point decide to start a family and give up their careers. This happens much less often with men.

The most famous male designers

Some male fashion designers have reached dizzying heights. The most famous of them:

1. Paco Rabanne. The Spaniard who revolutionized the fashion world. Music was played at his shows for the first time. Paco Rabanne became the first fashion designer who decided to use not fabric as materials for making clothes, but a variety of objects - paper, mirror disks, rings. A-list celebrities have appeared in his costumes, including Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot.
   
2. Pierre Cardin. A famous French designer who sought to make clothes from the world of high fashion accessible to ordinary buyers. He created unusual and extravagant outfits that quickly won the love of fashionistas. Pierre Cardin produced not only clothes for women and men, but also a variety of accessories.
   
3. Gianni Versace. Versace is a legendary fashion designer from Italy, who came from a poor family and had a magnificent career that was tragically cut short when the designer was killed by a serial killer. The master's clothes were admired by many celebrities - Madonna, Princess Diana, Charlize Theron, and the emblem of his house in the form of a Gorgon's head is known to any fashionista.
   
4. Yves Saint Laurent. Attempts to dress a woman in a man's suit have been made many times, but it was this designer who really succeeded.Yves Saint Laurent remained one of the trendsetters for many years. His ideas were picked up with incredible speed, and among the designers there were many imitators.
   
5. Giorgio Armani. This man achieved such fame that the concept of “style” is firmly associated with his name. Armani did not come to the world of high fashion right away. After school, he decided to study to become a doctor, but quickly became disillusioned with his chosen specialty. For some time, the future designer even worked as an auxiliary worker in a department store. But he was lucky enough to become an assistant to the famous fashion designer Nino Cerruti, and later Armani began to come up with models himself. The designer released his first line of clothing in 1974, and since then he has been surrounded by success. Today Armani is one of the richest people in Italy.
   
6. Jean-Paul Gaultier. Jean-Paul, a student of Pierre Cardin, has always been shocking. His shows featured elderly, plump, short models. And the costumes themselves, often unsuitable for life, were extremely extravagant. But Madonna and Mylene Farmer liked them. The designer became famous as a “border breaker” and as a person who overcomes any stereotypes about clothing.
   
7. Christian Dior. The great designer of the mid-20th century, Christian Dior, focused exclusively on women's clothing. With his works, he sought to exalt femininity and make girls happy. Christian has always been close to the world of art - he created costumes for theater and cinema, and in his youth he had a small private gallery that exhibited paintings by leading artists of the time. Although the designer died quite early (at the age of 57), he managed to have a tremendous influence on fashion and made Paris the capital of style.
   

Men played an important role in the development of fashion, but women also made their contribution. The names of some of them are known throughout the world - Coco Chanel, Vivienne Eastwood, Nina Ricci and others. To conquer the world of fashion, it is not gender that is important, but a subtle sense of style, determination and the ability to find non-standard solutions.
