Designers that have really shone in 2013 and become very influential
1. Valentino
From gorgeous clothing to their staple shoes and bags, in 2013 Valentino dressed several celebrities and their brand is continuously growing under their new designers from Red carpet to ready to wear.
2. Elie Saab
It's a dream. Should I say more? Elie Saab the Middle Eastern Lebanese designer has dressed almost every princess or female celebrity for a major event. Dream princess dresses in the most luxurious fabrics and embroideries. The designer has also branched more into Ready to wear in the last year.
3. Marchesa
Two british designers that show in New York. Since Marchesa launched, they dressed celebrities for the oscars to the golden globes. Now branching into Bridal wear branching their luxury designs further.
4. Celine
A company that wasn't so well known before in mainstream fashion, but now you can see it almost everywhere. The name Celine best represented their 'robot' mini luggage handbags, but now everything from shoes to clothing has branched Celine to worldwide success under the designer who designed the famous Chloe Padlock bag!
5. Balenciaga
A company that has been around for years, but it seems like most fashionistas have only just heard of the brand. Number 1 because of their Balenciaga city bags or Number 2 because of their innovative and somewhat attractive minimalistic clothing.
6. Chanel
We all know Chanel. But what is it in 2013 that still set Chanel apart from the rest? The boy bags made a statement from the beginning and one of the must haves was this handbag! A sides from that their spring ready to wear became famous for their oversized bags, decorative clothing and classy but unique styles shown by Karl Lagerfeld. Cosmetics-wise they own the game when it comes to luxury cosmetics.

7. Gucci
Frida Gianni the women that was heavily critisized for taking away what Gucci was so well know for deisigning, when she first started as a creative director is now arguably the most well known for branching the company out further. A bit like what Tom Ford did 'Something unqiue.' This year, especially Gucci has been one of the most popular in selling clothing and not just their luxury leather goods. Gucci has made a mark in clothing too and not just black clothing. (I say that because Black is what Gucci sell the most of).
