your top five designers, whether you can afford them or not

1. Marc Jacobs - for making such cool clothing
2. Michael Kors - for making some of the sexiest pieces around, without being cheap or trashy
3. Alexander McQueen - for taking chances and making some of the most wearable avant clothing to date.
4. Donna Karen - for not forgetting the importance of natural beauty
5. Chanel - for being painfully classic and necessary

Wow. That was harder than I thought!
