Philipp Plein was born in Munich in 1978 and educated in Switzerland and Germany.

 In 1998 he entered the world of design by producing exclusive furnishings in steel and leather initially for family and friends, which soon became a full time professional activity, demanding enough for Plein to abandon his law studies.

 In 2000 he launched the Home Collection including interior and outdoor furnishings

His involvement in leather craftsmanship led him to experiment with leather garments and accessories, and finally to launch his own fashion brand in 2004.

The accessory line was launched in 2006

 

The company continued to grow and two major milestones were reached in 2008 with the opening of the first flagship store in Monte Carlo and the first commercial showroom in Milan

Here are some of his designs and fashion collections

Italian designer Domenico makes up one half of what is perhaps one of the most well-known fashion collaborations in history, Dolce & Gabbana.His parents owned a clothing factory, which provided him an avenue to learn how exactly clothes were designed and created. Dolce met Stefano Gabbana soon after he finished his studies, and the two of them began what was to become one of the biggest fashion empires in the world.

Stefano makes up the second half of the business partnership; Dolce and Gabbana that was founded in 1985. Gabbana was originally a graphic designer before he met Domenico Dolce. 

They were originally a romantic couple, they split in 2005 but still remained business partners.

They both becameand were declared billionaires in 2013 and were estimated to be worth about $2 billion but have dropped since 2013.

The brand specializes in producing clothing, footwear, handbags, sunglasses, watches, jewellery, perfumery and cosmetics.

Rosso is a super innovative male designers. Another fantastic Italian born designer; he is popularly referred to as the 'jeans Genius' and is the mastermind behind the explosion of ‘stonewashed’ jeans (a treatment process for jeans in which the jeans are literally washed with stones to give them a faded, worn look), an innovative concept that Rosso perfected when he co-founded the popular clothing line Diesel.

Rosso owns 90% of OTB, the holding company through which he runs his global empire, which stands for Only The Brave. The other 10% is split between his two sons, Andrea and Stefano.

Ralph Lifshitz was born in The Bronx, New York, His story is an example of The American Dream.  taking out a $50,000 loan/risk, he started out his Polo brand by selling men’s neckties. Experiencing rapid success, he launched a line of suits, followed by a line of polo shirts that would define the Ralph Lauren image forever.

 Ralph Lauren has an estimated net worth of $5.2 billion as of April 2016, according to Bloomberg and is the SECOND richest male designer in the world.

Lauren has dozens of exotic cars (Bugatti, Bentley, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari) and a collector of vintage watches.

Italian fashion designer and the richest man in fashion, Giorgio Armani has a net worth of $6.7 billion as of September 2016,  according to Bloomberg; dropping from $8.5 billion in 2013.

 Armani was born to a poor family in Milan, his interest in fashion began at a young age, working in department stores and for other designers. Sergio Galeotti, a friend and future business partner encouraged him and he began to design independently and within a few short years his designs were making profits throughout Europe. The Armani brand is perhaps best known for its range of men’s suits, but the label as a whole is now synonymous with luxury. In the mid-1960s, Armani moved to the Nino Cerruti company, for which he designed menswear. 

He is known today for his clean, tailored lines. He formed his company, Armani, in 1975, and by 2001 was acclaimed as the most successful designer to come out of Italy, with an annual turnover of $1.6 billion.  

 Giorgio has even branched out from fashion to opening hotels in both Dubai and Milan.
