When the Maker Becomes the Muse The Most Stylish Fashion Designers in Street Style
Photographed by Phil Oh

Looking through our street style coverage we noticed that beyond street style regulars like Yu Masui and Alexa Chung, a new kind of stylish denizen had made an impact with their personal style: fashion designers. From Rick Owens in head-to-toe black to Alessandro Michele wearing his signature “Techno is my Boyfriend” hat to Simon Porte Jacquemus dressed like he’s ready for a day in the South of France, there’s no arguing that their influence goes well beyond the runways. Scroll through for the best-dressed designers in street style below.
