French designers

Haute couture creators

Fashion professionals from France, or working in the French tradition, who create clothing, accessories, or other designed objects.

France—particularly Paris—has historically dominated haute couture, making French designers shorthand for high-end fashion authority: The collection drew inspiration from French designers of the 1950s.

The phrase may also refer to French practitioners in other design fields: interior, graphic, industrial.
