What a difference a decade makes: take a look back at what the fashion world's biggest players used to look like...
KARL LAGERFELD
German designer Karl Lagerfeld lost 100lbs in
just ober a year back in 2001. "I suddenly wanted to dress differently,
to wear clothes designed by Hedi Slimane," he said at the time. "But
these fashions, modeled by very, very slim boys-and not men my
age-required me to lose at least 40 kg. It took me exactly thirteen
months." He has kept his slim frame ever since.
MARC JACOBS
Marc Jacobs was the epitome of the grungy
collections he produces in the 90s. Following several stints in rehab,
Jacobs is fit and toned at 49.
MATTHEW WILLIAMSON
British designer Matthew Williamson has barely
changed over the last fifteen years or so, only adding some facial
embellishments to his look.
STELLA MCCARTNEY
Announced as French fashion house Chloe's new
recruit in 1997, McCartney was just 26 years old. Now aged 40, she has
build on her internationally successful eponymous label for over a
decade.
TOM FORD
Ford is one of those gentlemen who becomes even
more handsome with age. From his fresh-faced years at Gucci in the
Nineties, he has since matured with some artfully grown stubble as he
enters his sixth decade.
TOMMY HILFIGER
American sportswear designer Tommy Hilfiger has
carved out a billion-dollar fashion empire over four decades, all while
keeping his teeth extra pearly-white.
DAME VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
Westwood grew from young eccentric, to erm, old
eccentric. Her hairstyles from 1987 to present day might have changed
numerous times over, but that smile is all hers.
GIORGIO ARMANI
Still taking a post-catwalk show bow aged 77, take a look at Mr Armani in the early Eighties.
