Heaven's Six - Designers

Welcome to the first installment of Heaven's Six.

[This is an idea I cooked up when trying to decide which designer I was going to talk about today. I'm a huge fan of making lists, so this seemed to be a great idea. We'll see how it goes.]

Heaven's Six will be a list of six somethings - whether it's movies, albums, or today's topic, designer. These seven things are the best and greatest to me, and I'll be sharing my reasons why in future Heaven's Six episodes. [As if this is a tv show...]

As I've already mentioned, todays' topic is designers. While I'm not a big fan of paying crazy prices for someone's name myself, some designers really stick to me. If I ever had the opportunity, I would probably purchase at least one item from the following people.



  1. Jean Paul Gaultier. Ever since I saw his work in The Fifth Element [one of my favorite movies], I've been in love with this man's work. The colors, the cuts, the fabrics, the eccentric nature - it all speaks to me. [Forgive me for sounding so dramatic.]

  2. Isaac Mizrahi. Who doesn't love Isaac Mizrahi? Great style, great personality, and he has a line at Target. What more can you say?

  3. Manolo Blahnik. I love heels. Stilhettos and wedges, peeptoes and pumps. And this guy does heels the way I like them - the higher, the better. And it doesn't hurt that he's a staple in on of my favorite television series of all times - Sex and the City.

  4. Louis Vuitton. French designer, American staple. No explanation needed.

  5. Gwen Stefani. Say what you will, but I like Gwen's house of style. It's quirky, edgy, and sexy all at the same time. Forgive me, but I admire someone who can pull that off and still look as glamorous as she does.

  6. Betsey Johnson. The lady is a weirdo [you know she is], and some of her designs are a little too crazy for me. But, I admit - every time I go to the Galleria, I make it a priority to walk into her store just to see what's there.

So there you have it. Heaven's Six Designers, from my point of view. [And no, these aren't in any distinct order. I'd be here all day if I had to figure that out.]
