Who is your favourite designer?

I have never been one to have favourites.  I don't have a favourite colour, favourite movie, favourite song, favourite city.  I think this is partly due to the fact that i am fickle by nature, but mostly because there are so many variables that effect one's decision of what their favourite is  (mood, age, time of year, company...) that i can never trust myself to cement something as the option that i will always prefer over everything else.

So when asked the question 'Who is your favourite designer?' i am, unsurprisingly, stumped.  I have thought about it a lot over the last couple of days, and have come to the conclusion that if i am ever going to be able to make headway with an answer to this, i am going to have to separate this into categories:

Favourite Spring 10 show:

No explanation necessary. 

Favourite Fall 10 show:

The originality and theatricality of Viktor & Rolf's 'Glamour Factory' worked a dream, as the interchangability of the outfits kept the mind boggling as to where the pair were going to take you next.  Not only was the show a spectacular piece of entertainment, the outerwear the pair created was incredible.  In-cred-ible,

Favourite vision:

No-one can clash like Consuelo Castiglioni.  Her expert eye makes teaming aqua with red, print with print seem so natural.  Brilliantly bohemian, Marni's Italian charm will have me drooling every time.

Favourite Heroine:

Galliano's heroine is so fierce i'm not even sure Beyonce would stand a chance.  The red lipstick, teemed with lingerie inspired silk and sheer ankle socks is strong, feminine, and above all SEXY.

Favourite come-back:

Okay so i kind of made this category up, but i had to put her in somewhere...Pheobe Philo's Spring and Autumn/ Winter shows are up there as close seconds to my favourites for the year.  What can i say, i'm a sucker for her clean, minimalist look.  Highlights include her use of leather, which has turned into one of the most important trends for both seasons.  Come to think of it, it seems strange that i could love her simple lines as they stand so different from the theatricality of both McQueen and V&R's shows. 

This is impossible.
