Who is the best Romanian fashion designer?

Answer 1

I don't think there is a "best" designer in our country, but rather a "best-seller-best-known-best-at-brainwashing" designer, who must be either Doina Levintza or Botezatu what's his name, but none of them deserves this title, at least not until they help our country actually get noticed on an international level, think about it: Italians have Prada, Armani, etc, UK has their best ones (MCQ, burberry,etc).and so on

...oh and none of them deserve the reputation of being the BEST designer because they all ask for a LOT of money for their creations: e.g. mihai albu has a pair of shoes for sale right now (very kitchy btw) that are exactly 1.000 euro, which is even a higher price than a pair of C. Louboutin are, and I don't think that's normal ,since the designs are nothing alike, you cannot compare the two, any girl in their right minds would choose Louboutins (they have an almost timeless aesthetic and the quality is perfect-plus it's world wide known and appreciated), also, there are some other "designers" who ask for like 5.000 euro or more (e.g. Ciobanu) for a simple swarovski-incrusted dress which has some pretty weird finishes, anyway, I think you get my point, but there is another look at it as well; they're not terrbile, some of them are very much ok, e.g. Rozalb de mura, and don't charge for 500euro+ for a crystal-embellished garment with nothing out of the ordinary (you are paying for a dress in the end, not some crystals), perhaps in the future more of them will more open to certain internationla trends and try to interpret them in a personal way, and acutally start making WEARABLE CLOTHES, and not just fancy cocktail dresses(they're all expert at that in here) for rich old brainwashable ladies who don;t know of Chanel or just give in because they're friends.

So maybe in the future there will be a BEST designer, but right now, you couldn't talk about that.
