1. VALENTINO GARAVANI. Hailing from Voghera Italy, this man knows how to make a woman look like a goddess. Though his shows speak for themself, the one place you are sure to find a Valentino dress is on the red carpet. Having dressed many of the world’s most famous leading ladies (such as Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Taylor), he has proven his talent and risen to the top as (in my opinion) The King of Elegance.

2. TOM FORD is not only extremely talented, but he’s hot too. Born in Texas, Tom originally trained to be an actor! Can you believe that? Thank goodness we pulled him over to the good side (kidding). But really, this man is not only the Creative Director for Gucci, he’s also the Creative Director fro Yves Saint Laurent. Ford stole the show at the first ever VH1 Fashion Awards and won the Best International Designer Award in 2000.

3. DONATELLA VERSACE, while a little flamboyant herself, is still one of fashions most loved divas. Born in Calabria Italy, she graciously took over her late brother Gianni Versace’s already flawless design house. By following in his footsteps, and having just as much passion for the industry as her brother, Donatella has become know for her sexy yet elegant designs.

4. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN is one of the worlds most innovative and outstanding couturiers. Known for his theatrical influence, his creations are not only beautiful but also colorful and raw.

5. BETSEY JOHNSON. Her designs are brilliant, bold and fun. They are funky and edgy, with a lifetime of flare. Straight from the American fashion capital [New York] Betsey is known for “her celebration of the exuberant”.

6. RALPH LAUREN. He could possibly be the king of ready-to wear. When anyone mentions Ralph you know they have a deep love for fashion. Ralph Lauren studied business science and even served his time in the army. Known for dressing the most beautiful in the “prep” world, his lines now include Polo Ralph Lauren, Polo Sport, and the Ralph Lauren collections.

7. JOHN GALLIANO graduated from London’s St. Martins College of Art & Design in 1983. With help from friends and loved ones, Galliano put on his first show in 1984. Creating designs with a historical influence, he has worked hard to gain the title of Chief Designer at Givenchy and the House of Christian Dior prize at LVMH.

8. DOMENICO DOLCE & STEFANO GABBANA. Here are two household names. I’m rather sure that almost every woman and man in the fashion world has some piece by these two geniuses. Every woman who wears D&G can be sure to feel sexy and confident. They both hail from Italy, and are known for making the “stars look like Stars”.

9. MARC JACOBS is another one of those incredibly talented designers who makes everyone who wears his clothing feel like they are the cutting edge of fashion. This year his collection showcased a series of 60′s housewife inspired dresses that were not only cute but also incredibly feminine. This one is one of my personal faves.

10. STELLA MCCARTNEY. I think the name says it all, but being the new girl on the block, we definitely have to give her credit. While being the daughter of a superstar, Stella has managed to carve a huge place for herself in the fashion world. And we love her for it. Her clothes are the height of class and speak volumes of her personal talent.

Well, that’s it for this girls top ten. Now believe me, this list doesn’t even touch the amount of talent out there. But really, who does decide this stuff? In all honesty, everyone has a taste all of their won in the fashion industry and that makes us all contributors to the fame and success of any fashion designer. It’s people like you who really make or break this industry, so be proud.

No aspect of the jean is skimped over however, with some large brands like Armani, Prade etc. you can pay premium prices for jeans that look like any others. With PRPS you can be sure that all the little details are taken care off: hand distressed ares, folded back pockets, camoflage pocket linings, individually numbered tabs, different coloured buttons and much more. The researchers and designers literally take inspiration from the military and construction worlds, they study the details like how creases in a mechanics knee look and are formed. It is this attention to detail and passion which I want from my designers and make a brilliant product.

The whole product just feels and look quality. I urge you to try some out as the new collections are just as good as ever and come in all shapes and sizes. Comfort, straight leg, skinnier fits they are all here. They are only available from a few selected stores here in the UK and are surely set to be the next massive brand – so don’t miss out!

* You will also have some prep work to do before the big night. First you will want to schedule an appointment for your prom hairstyle on the day of your prom. Keep time in mind when scheduling the appointment. Plan the appointment about two to three months out to ensure you are getting top pick of time slots. An appointment scheduled to early mean you may loose the do before prom begins, but an appointment too late may mean missing the first dance.

* Be sure to pick the dress out before deciding on the hairstyle. You will also want to pick out the jewelry and accessories before doing the do. If you choose a simple dress then make it dressier with an elegant up do. If you have an elaborate evening gown then choose a do less extravagant, to show case the dress. You will also want to consider the neck line when choosing your do as well.

* Choose more than one do. Always have a back up do ready in case your hair does not cooperate on the day of prom. This is can occur because of humidity or other weather conditions. Keep a positive outlook. If you can find two do’s you like equally then there will be no problem come prom night.

* Practice makes perfect. Practice your prom hairstyles several times if possible before prom night. If money is not an issue it would not be a bad idea to have a practice run with your hair dresser. While you are practicing and trying out hairstyles be sure to take pictures with your dress on. This way you can come back and make a better informed choice for your prom look.

* It is also important to pack a survival kit in your car or purse. Include bobby pins, ponytail bands, hairspray, and a comb in case an emergency repair is in order.
Following these 2009 prom hair style tips will ensure you have the best prom do possible. Keeping it simple is always the best bet because remember what goes up, can come down and you will have to make any repairs yourself once you leave the hair dressers. Remember to get your picture taken early in the evening to have the very best memories of your prom 2009.
