Fashion <\/a>hasn't always been the way it is now: increasingly acceptive, creatively liberated, and entertainingly unpredictable. It overcame many\u00a0milestones, which were back in the day deemed\u00a0preposterous, that defined fashion as we know.<\/p>

It might be hard to imagine, but women from past generations \u2014 even as late as 1920s \u2014\u00a0were shunned for wearing pants. The idea of menswear-inspired<\/a> suits for women was unthinkable. Another sensitive issue was time, a restrictive factor which fashion designers had to put into consideration upon launching their collection.<\/p>

Risking their reputation and career, a number of fashion geniuses challenged these so-called backwardness confining their creativity and preventing people from enjoying their designs. The admirable Coco Chanel<\/strong> was at the helm of popularizing the lady trousers and\u00a0thankfully for us,\u00a0she succeeded. Yves Saint Laurent<\/strong>, one of the world's greatest designers to ever live, fearlessly brought back clothing styles and cuts reminiscent of the war years \u2014 think bouffant shoulders and mini shift dresses \u2014 and had to go into hiding from the public in consequence. Vivienne Westwood<\/strong> was another prominent name who caused a scandal in fashion. She breathed some air into the suffocating sophistication of the Brit style when she promulgated the punk fashion.<\/p>

Now not only can we dress in all kinds of pants \u2014 from bell-bottomed<\/a> jeans to cool culottes<\/a> \u2014 we can also slip into intrepid punk-inspired T-shirts and rock a hardcore haircut whenever we want to, wherever we want to, guilt-free. The most shocking\u00a0fashion gets nowadays is when a celebrity commits a faux pas, \u00a0but never about questioning societal norms\u00a0(except of course,\u00a0Rick Owens' inappropriately-placed holes in his Fall\/ Winter 2015 collection).<\/p>

Take a quick glance into the past by scrolling through our gallery,\u00a0an ode to the five designers who went against the grain, caused a scandal and helped shape fashion<\/a> to\u00a0what it is now.<\/p>
