I’ll tell you what's happened to me today! I got into trouble this morning.
You know, I'm always late for work, because I'm very busy with my family
problems. And I understand that my co-workers don't like fit. Today I took my
Mum to the hospital in the morning. Then I wanted to go to work, but the lock in
my car broke. It was awful! I left my bag with money and my phone in the car! I
didn't know what to do in such a situation.
The only phone number I remembered by heart was my ex-husband's. I
borrowed a phone from a nice passerby. Then I called my ex-husband. He

revising my English homework. I had revised everything before he appeared.
To cut a long story short, my ex-husband helped me open my car. I arrived
at work by lunchtime. My co-workers looked at me with surprise! But I'm used to
being looked at in such a way. I'll do my best not to be late for work tomorrow, or

Unit 4. TOP FASHION DESIGNERS OF ALL TIME
I. Read the text and answer the questions below.
When it comes to trendsetters, these fashion designers are famous icons who
have created the most popular brands in the world. These famous designers have
influenced the way we dress and can be defined by their talent, creativity and
success.
The best fashion designers have become known for their unique styles and
iconic designs, creating clothing, footwear, handbags and accessories that pushed
boundaries to transform society. While the most influential designers will go down
in history for starting trends and changing what we wear every day, other names
will live on through their fashion brands.
Let’s explore a list of the top most famous fashion designers of all time that
continue to influence how we style and dress.
Born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel on August 19, 1883, in Saumur, France,
“Coco” was an exquisite French fashion designer and founder of the well-known
CHANEL brand.
37
At the age of 12, after her mother’s death, Chanel was put in an orphanage
by her father and was raised by nuns who taught her how to sew – skill that would
lead to her life’s work.
According to an article in The Atlantic, Chanel used to sing in clubs in
Vichy and Moulins, where she was nicknamed “Coco” – the shortened version of
cocotte, the French word for ‘kept woman’.
In the early 1900s, thanks to Chanel’s stylish but straightforward clothing
designs – instead of painful corsets and complex petticoats – women started to
regain their freedom of movement.
According to Coco Chanel: “Luxury must be comfortable; otherwise, it’s not
luxury.”
Chanel’s modern approach to practical design and stylistic simplicity made
the fashion designer an influential figure in 20th-century fashion.
Coco Chanel is the only fashion designer named on the Time 100: The Most
Important People of the Century.
The best fashion designer on this list, Coco Chanel’s unique style is
immortalized in pop culture through iconic creations such as the “little black dress”
(also known as LBD) …and “Chanel no. 5 Perfume.”
The designer is also behind the Chanel women’s suit look, consisting of a
slim skirt and collarless tweed jacket worn by Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, and
Audrey Hepburn.
The subject of many fashion books, Christian Dior was born on January 21,
1905, in Granville, a seaside town in the north of France.
The young French fashion designer spent his youth years in Paris where he
experienced the Great Depression, World War I and II, and witnessed his sister
being sent to a concentration camp.
Enrolled at the École des Sciences Politiques in 1925 to study political
science to find work as a diplomat, Dior’s passion for architecture, art, and style
eventually prevailed.
38
Dior’s fashion prowess became even more evident at the realization he
changed the fashion industry in the post-war ruins of France.
Dior’s 1947 “New Look” consisting of voluminous A-line calf-length skirts
and fitted bodice waists, contrasted with the war brutality and reminded people of
calmer, more relaxed times.
After World War II, the “New Look” revolutionized women’s dress and
reestablished Paris as the center of the fashion world.
From that point on, the fashion designer used the runway to champion the
idea of female empowerment, and his A-line, zigzag-line, Y-line, and H-line
silhouettes continue to influence the fashion industry.
With a focus on femininity and high-end women’s clothing, Dior is
recognized as one of the most influential fashion designers in women’s couture and
evening wear.
Arguably the most successful fashion designer globally, Dior’s designs have
been worn by film stars and royalty alike.
Founded by one of the most iconic fashion designers ever, Dior, the
company, continues to operate at the forefront of the fashion industry.
Lee Alexander McQueen was a British fashion designer, born on March 17,
1969, into a working-class family in London’s Lewisham district.
At 16, he dropped out of school to work in Savile Row, a street in London’s
Mayfair district famous for stores offering made-to-order men’s suits, for brands
like Anderson and Shephard, Barmans and Nathans, and Gieves and Hawkes.
However, it was McQueen’s collaboration with designers Angels and
Bermans on theatrical costumes that granted the British fashion designer a
‘dramatic signature style’ of clothing.
McQueen then left London a top fashion capital of the world, for Milan
another key fashion city, where he worked as a design assistant to Italian fashion
designer Romeo Gigli.
Upon returning to London, McQueen enrolled at Central Saint Martin’s
College of Art and Design and received his M.A. in fashion design in 1992.
39
McQueen’s degree collection, inspired by Jack the Ripper, was famously
bought in its entirety by Isabella Blow, a London eccentric and famous stylist.
Only four years out of design school, McQueen was named Chief Designer
of Louis Vuitton-owned Givenchy, a French Haute fashion house.
“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I am here for, to
demolish the rules but keep the tradition,” explained McQueen, when asked about
the uniqueness of his designs.
Unfortunately, Alexander McQueen took his own life in 2010, shortly after
the passing of his mother, shocking the fashion world and beyond.
Yet, Alexander McQueen’s unique sense of style and extravagant, iconic
creations continue to enchant generations of fashion designers and connoisseurs.
Born Ralph Lifshitz in the Bronx, New York City, on October 14, 1939,
Ralph Lauren is an American clothing designer best known for his sportswear line
Polo Ralph Lauren, the centerpiece of his fashion empire.
At the age of 16, Ralph changed his last name to Lauren and went on to
attend Baruch College in Manhattan, where he studied business for two years.
After a brief stint in the Army, Lauren took on sales job at Brooks Brothers,
where the idea of developing its brand, Polo, and the first product – a line of
neckties – started to materialize.
Ralph’s distinctive fashion sense is often credited with drawing inspiration
from those time’s screen icons like Fred Astaire and Cary Grant’s preppy wear and
vintage looks.
Nowadays, few logos in the fashion industry are as recognizable as the polo
player emblem.
Conjuring a blend of English aristocrat and sporty-tailored looks for the
American crowd, Ralph’s Polo line became the quintessential “Preppy Look” from
the 1980s fashion to the 2000s fashion.
From a small 1967 office in the Empire State Building to a $7 billion
fortune, Polo is now an international business empire that includes fragrances,
