Julien Macdonald


Julien Macdonald is a Welsh Royal College of Art graduate designer. While a student Macdonald was noticed by head chief Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld and eventually became head knitwear designer for Chanel during 1994-97. His own label was launched in 1997, which debuted at London Fashion Week. His pieces were heavy embellished with glitter and sequins; he was later asked to design the Spice Girls tour outfits at the height of their fame. In 2000 he was appointed chief designer at Paris couture house Givenchy, replacing Alexander McQueen. Macdonald was named British designer of the year in 2001 and was constantly improving his fashion profile.
Today Macdonald’s signature style is a sophisticated sexy, a glam attraction that is passionate. He still creates his well-known show stopping outfits for those who want to stand out and barely there pieces but has always evolved ready-to-wear collections that are more toned down. He loves confident women who aren’t afraid of their sexuality, and designs high octane, powerful and liberating collections for this muse.
