Fashion designers are worshipped by celebrities, and it turns out the feelings mutual.
Movie stars, musicians and models are being claimed by different designers as their muses (Defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as a source of inspiration). This really isn't surprising. Thorough bread designers can help these celebs, and vice-versa. Fashion houses can give these stars an air of class, and in return they can offer their following of avid fans.
One of the earliest designer/celeb tag-teams was Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn. In 1953, Hepburn personally requested Givenchy design the clothes for her forth coming film, Sabrina. Together they popularised the LBD (little black dress), and started a fashion phenomenon, closely followed by Givenchy designing for many of Hepburn's later films.
Bring it up to date. The most fun, edgy and popular 'team' is the London Darlings, designer Henry Holland and Model (also a genuine 'it girl'), Agyness Deyn. Best mates since youngsters, they are 'THE couple', owning runways and social events, with Deyn supporting Henry with his label House of Holland and his new tele show Frock me with other media goddess, Alexa Chung.
