Several possible answers to this question so I'll sum it up to 2 base answers.

1. some designs have been made simply to improve on the older designs and make them safer/easier to use.

2. some modern designs are better suited for different purposes. A skydiver for instance don't use the same parachute as a base jumper.

What is the reason for different designs on parachutes?

Different parachutes are used to meet different needs. This one is highly steerable, this one can support more weight, this one can stand up to the higher opening shock of a delayed opening jump, etc. And some parachutes, like the one above, have very specialized uses- stopping an airplane or a race car.
