Are You Classy Like Chanel Or Cool And Casual Like Ralph Lauren? Take The Quiz!

Designer labels don't just market clothes, they sell lifestyles. Each brand exudes a certain image and style for their target demographic. While some brands aim to be classy and untouchable with hot cars and designer gowns, others try to engage in social upheaval and rad politics with ads that push progressive social values to sell their product. As many designer marketing teams will tell you, consumers often care more about branding than they do about clothing quality or style. When your fancy Ralph Lauren label is showing you are credited with a certain respectability, a certain social capital.

Despite all this, it is no question that designer clothes can be beautiful. Nowadays designer houses are shrouded in mystery-- who owns them? runs them? has the final say on designs? They only come out in the open when they collaborate with a celebrity for a new collection or roll out a glamorous advertising campaign. It's crazy to think many of the top tier fashion houses began in early 20th century by small European tradesmen.

Over the past century their small dreams were formed into a billion dollar industry-- think The Devil Wears Prada. Answer these few lifestyle questions and we'll tell you which Designer Label you embody.

Question 1

Who's closet would you want?

All of the women below are fashion icons and have their own distinct tastes. Sometimes a person's position can dictate how they dress. For example, the woman who fills the position of First Lady must always look elegant and respectable. For others it's more personal. Either way it depends on the types of events you'll be attending. Who do you think has the best wardrobe?

Question 2

What's your day bag?

I don't understand how some people can shove all their belongings into their pant pockets. Don't you need Kleenex? Your wallet? A novel? Bags are handy and you're always so well prepared. As Carrie Bradshaw once said, a woman needs her bag to feel secure, it's like men and their b*lls.

Question 3

What did you have for breakfast?

People are pretty accustomed to having the same types of things for breakfast. It's too early to decide what you want, so you default to the same old food types. Are you a huge fan of baked goods? Or do you prefer to find your sugar in fruit? What do you normally have for breakfast?

Question 4

What music do you play when getting ready?

Do you ever dance around your room trying to pump yourself up for the day? If not, you should try it. It brightens a morning routine and makes it easier to get out of bed.

Question 7

Which shoe is most YOU?

We all have that one pair of shoes we wish we could wear all the time. We can't because they don't fit every social occasion or they're awfully painful to walk in. So even though they're beautiful, they are left in the closet most days. Which shoe best fits your personality?

Question 8

Who's your favourite artist?

Art is subjective. Different paintings, sculptures, and instillations move different people because the artist's vision also depends on what you bring to it.

Question 9

What do you order at the bar?

What's the last amazing time you can remember?

Question 14

Where do you go to get furniture?
