I came across a really interesting article on Vogue's website I wanted to share with you guys, the author of this article is in a nutshell explaining that "The most iconic fashion designers always reflect the traits of their zodiac sign in their designs" Which got me thinking, is it true?
I've always been interested in astrology and fashion and I want to explore this comment, as its not a quick definitive answer I thought great idea for a blog post! My quick answer would be yes, I mean its a fact that all designers show their personality through their creations, whether personally or true to the original designers, for example Karl with Chanel, he displays his own personality and stamp on the fashion house whilst always staying true to Chanel's Vision. So its obvious they will portray traits of their sign, but to what extent, and in what ways?

On a different level I argued this; for example as a Gemini myself I know that we are very creative and prone to great ideas, starting things with great enthusiasm, but one of the well known con traits of a Gemini is that we lose interest quickly! resulting in endless unfinished projects, however, if your a Gemini fashion designer obviously this trait won't be shown because its kind of a must to finish the designs! So perhaps its only the pro traits of the sign that come through in their creations?
Then I thought about all the other factors influencing the designer, I mean its a person.. there's more to us than our star signs just because we have the same star sign as someone doesn't mean we would necessarily have the same style, views and opinions or even get on.. So I thought the best way would be to group Designers up on their zodiac signs and then compare their work!
I've used Taurus as an example,
Taurus Designers (Versace, Valentino, Jean-Paul Gautier)
This zodiac sign is naturally drawn to aesthetics, they are appreciative of the material realm, and they enjoy pleasant visual surroundings. Taurus is ruled by Venus and represents materialistic matters, including money and ‘having’ or possessing things as a key to happiness. Taurus are also
massive foodies- they love exploring their senses, smell, touch, through food, which could relate to interesting textures in fashion designing.
With these few Taurus trait facts in mind, have you got an image of what kind of style a Taurus would have?
From reading those comments, to me it comes across like a Taurus would be classical in their dress sense, with an expensive look, I say that with the phrase 'having or possessing things as a key to happiness' in mind. When I tried to imagine what kind of style I thought of nude and blush shades, silk, diamonds, the classic expensive look.
Keep in mind what kind of style you imagine and take a look at these catwalk photos from Taurus fashion designers. collections, from Versace, valentino, Jean paul Gaultier
Using Taurus as an example I think I can safely say that yes, our zodiac traits are shown in our style, what do you think? I can't believe how all the above designers have a few things in common, and the style similarities do correspond to the signs common traits.
I'd love to know your thoughts on this
