5 FASHION COUPLES WE ADORE

Our favourite industry pairings

Words by Bridget Barnett

Some things are just better together. Be it familial, professional or romantic, discover which stylish soulmates we are most thankful for and why.

1. DIANA VREELAND AND RICHARD AVEDON

Who are they?


Vreeland was a fashion columnist at Harper’s Bazaar and editor-in-chief at American Vogue; Avedon was a fashion and portrait photographer. Both helped to define America’s image of style, beauty and culture during their glory days.


Why we love them?


Their adorable meet-cute. Vreeland mistakenly called Avedon “Aberdeen”, to which he decided he couldn’t work with her since she couldn’t get his name right. They went on to work together for 40 years.

2. MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY OLSEN

Who are they?


Arguably the world’s most famous twins, the Olsens are child actresses turned fashion icons and founders of luxury ready-to-wear label The Row.


Why we love them?


For introducing us to “hobo-chic” 15 years ago, and for wooing us with the perfect, pared-back wardrobe staples since.

3. INEZ VAN LAMSWEERDE AND VINOODH MATADIN

Who are they?


The Dutch fashion photographer duo whose list of clients reads like a call sheet for the most talked about designers, publications and musicians in the world – think Vogue, Virgil Abloh and Kayne West.


Why we love them?


For pioneering a digital approach to fashion photography that challenges gender norms.

4. RICK OWENS AND MICHÈLE LAMY

Who are they?


An American-born, Paris-based fashion designer best known for his gothic sportswear aesthetic, and his wife – a creative partner, muse and fashionista in her own right.


Why we love them?


For their love affair which spans 20 years and includes countless creative collaborations, including that of protégé Gareth Pugh. We also love their humour – Lamy likens their business partnership to “asking a gypsy to organise a war with a fascist.”

5. VALENTINO GARAVANI + GIANCARLO GIAMMETTI

Who are they?


The legendary designer behind Italian fashion house Valentino, and his long-time friend and business partner. Their relationship has spanned over five decades.


Why we love them?


For giving us the most iconic red gowns for red carpets.
