WWD Picks 100 Designers Who Shaped Fashion

New WWD book digs through 100 years of hemlines to decide who has really shaped fashion 

The Associated Press 


A 1965 WWD quote about Chanel: "Chanel is more than a look — it's an institution — it's a belief and a way of life — which this clever and very crafty artiste has done. She knows that her ever hungry Fashion Barbies are women and girls who eat and drink and dance — and love."

Tell us about the Spring/Summer collection.
The Tods Spring/Summer 2011 collection was inspired by gardens and outdoor living, like you would have in Italy or even California. I researched the gardens of Villa d’Este for this naturalness. They are groomed in a very Italian, manipulated, perfected way…natural, but touched. Some shoes have a garden feeling but are elevated with crocodile straps and wooden sole. Other peasant sandals are given a modern twist. Everything is soft. Softness was really a preoccupation for us, but it’s not like there isn’t any structure. There is still a form, a defined silhouette… but the touch is soft and cozy.

What are your favorite items from the new collection?
My favorite is the wooden sole sandal with the crocodile straps. We’ve been talking about wearing longer lengths this season. This shoe would be great to wear outdoors, in a garden, in a long bohemian dress.
