Temperley London   |
Alice Temperley launched Temperley London in 2000 and the label has since veered in a romantic direction and has come to include the Temperley London Black Label, a line of dresses made for the red carpet and a bridal collection. Temperley London has since launched an accessories collection, which includes handbags and sunglasses, and opened up stand-alone boutiques in London, New York, and Los Angeles. |
Thakoon |
Thai-born Thakoon Panichgul unveiled his debut womenswear line—a whimsical ten-piece presentation of metallic taffeta skirts, beige separates, and ribbon-tie jackets—in 2004 at the age of 29. With a nod to his Asian heritage and a talent for intricate detail, Panichgul has a knack for the ethereal—billowy organza and silk-linen dresses—and a recognizable wit. Just ask his high-powered fan base. |
3.1 Phillip Lim  |
Phillip Lim launched his 3.1 Phillip Lim collection with start-up cash from friend and fabric supplier Wen Zhou in 2004. Almost overnight, his line became both a critical and commercial darling. Lim’s coveted dresses were quickly spotted around town on "It" girls Natalie Portman and Kate Hudson. His womenswear look combines girlish refinement and laid-back ease with moments of quirky romance. Headbands splashed with Swarovski crystals and shift dresses adorned with pearls exemplify his burgeoning arty side. |
Tod's |
Tod's Group is an Italian company which produces shoes and other leather goods, and presided over by businessman Diego Della Valle. It is famous for its driving shoes and D-bag. The family started the shoemaking business out of a basement in the late 1920s. The family expanded the workshop and turned it into a factory. The son of the owner, Diego, brought in innovative marketing strategies in the early 1980s, kept the handmade manufacturing process and went on to create the lifestyle brand. Tod's Group acquired Roger Vivier, maker of high luxury shoes in the mid 1990s. |
Tom Ford |
Tom Ford opened the fashion house, Tom Ford, following his departure from Gucci and YSL. Ford began with accessories; his line of eyewear was the first to become successful through a continuing partnership with Marcolin SPA. The Tom Ford line now covers Menswear, Beauty, Eyewear, and both Men and Women's Accessories. In 2006, he also established a fragrance line called Tom Ford Beauty. In early 2006, Ford attracted media attention for appearing fully clothed on the cover of Vanity Fair alongside Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson, both nude. |
Topshop  |
Launched in 2001, Topshop Unique is the higher-up ready-to-wear offshoot from the major British fast-fashion label. The Unique line, like the mass-market collection, is consistently altering its aesthetic to suit trend—think breezy, beachy looks one year, ultra-eighties “Bananarama” the next. However, A-line dresses, voluminous coats, and billowy trousers are signatures. The label made its runway debut at London Fashion Week in 2005. |
Tommy
Hilfiger |
The Tommy Hilfiger brand combines fresh American style with unique details to give time-honored classics an updated look for customers who desire high quality, designer apparel at competitive prices under the following labels: Flag, Crest, Tommy Jeans, and Sport and H Hilfiger. |
Tory Burch  |
Launched in 2004, Tory Burch has gone from a tiny operation out of an Upper East Side apartment to a wildly successful contemporary line, which boasts freestanding boutiques and a booming wholesale business. Burch has turned what easily could have been dismissed as a socialite vanity project into a viable fashion label. The collection, based on Burch’s own easy-chic style—bold prints, caftans, sequined cardigans, and a few more fashion-y evening items—also includes children’s swimwear, jewelry, handbags, and shoes. |
Tracy Reese  |
Tracy Reese’s style is unabashedly girly, but made to fit the lifestyles (and bodies) of real women. With a namesake label and bridge lines and offshoots—ranging from home and shoes to nail polish and hosiery—the brand has captured great commercial success and recognition across many categories. |
TSE |
In 1989, TSE the cashmere label, was founded by Augustine Tse, supporting an idea that this luxury yarn, up to that point, had been greatly under-utilized. The objective of the company was to incorporate this incredible material into all aspects of one's life and make it more accessible to a broader audience. It was this modern adaptation of the traditional commodity that forever changed the luxury cashmere business. |
Twenty8Twelve |
From a very early age their paths were set. They didn’t know it at the time but when Savannah made Sienna's first fancy dress costume at the age of eight, the wheels were set in motion for a perfect partnership. It was only natural that Savannah would fit her work on Sienna and Sienna would give comments and they found that their different approaches and ideas complemented each other. When they were approached by Spanish entrepeneur, Carlos Ortega to turn this dream in to reality it felt like a logical and organic step to take and Twenty8Twelve was born. The rest is history. |
Valentino  |
Valentino includes the following brands: Valentino, Valentino Garavani, Valentino Roma e R.E.D. Valentino. It operates in the upper end of the fashion and luxury market, offering exclusive products in the couture, ready-to-wear, designer, diffusion and bridge segments. Its image of glamour, exclusivity and strong style make Valentino a brand well known for the sophistication and elegance of its creations. |

Vera
Wang |
In 1990, inspired by a new vision where fashion and bridal meet, Vera Wang opened a bridal salon at the esteemed Carlyle Hotel on Madison Avenue. Retailers, editors and peers quickly noted the impact of her innovative bridal collections and encouraged Vera Wang to extend her design sensibility to ready-to-wear and bridesmaid collections. Vera Wang's new product introductions reflect her vision to create a lifestyle that goes beyond the core bridal, maids and ready-to-wear into publishing, fragrance and beauty. |
Versace |
One of the world's most notable Italian fashion houses, the House of Versace, began with a simple yet pure love deep within its founder's heart. As a young man, Gianni Versace began his fashion career working with his mother. From pattern buyer to dressmaker to designer, Versace was a quick study in these and many other areas. It was only about six years from starting as a paid ready-to-wear designer in Milan that he designed and launched his very own collection in the same city, bearing his now famous name. The House of Versace was born. |
Victoria Beckham  |
Victoria Beckham has become better recognized as an international style icon, rather than a music artist. Beckham designed a limited-edition fashion line for Rock & Republic called VB Rocks in 2004, consisting mainly of jeans for the high end of the market. After Beckham's departure from Rock & Republic, in September 2006, she furthered her fashion ventures when she launched her own label of which she acts as creative director. |
Viktor & Rolf  |
Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are some of the industry’s most famous—and often—unpredictable—showmen. Too arty to place in the just-fashion category and too fashion-y to simply be called artists, they meld the two like few others. Viktor & Rolf Collections are never boring affairs, and shows employ fantastical techniques, whether it’s models wearing their own cumbersome lighting structures or clothing presented upside down. |
Vivienne Westwood  |
Vivienne Westwood has remained one of Britain’s most influential designers—influencing Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano and the like. The iconoclastic redhead has always used her brand as a medium for political expression. One collection gently spoofed British royalty (and she reportedly went knickerless when she received her OBE from Queen Elizabeth), and in 2006, she showed tank tops with the slogan "I am not a terrorist.” |
Von Dutch  |
Von Dutch is an American multinational clothing company named after artist Kenny Howard. After Howard's death in 1992, his daughters sold the Von Dutch name to Michael Cassel and Robert Vaughn. The Von Dutch company is now a multinational clothing and accessories company, owned by Tonny Sorensen since 2001. |
