   I only have knowledge of Claire Shaeffer and have read her materials. She is current and easy to follow. Sadly, I think couture methods is fading away in this current time. It is more of a quantity world rather than quality. It is also a 'get it done' sewing hobby rather than achieving self satisfaction through perfection. However, I feel there will always be couture techniques used by some. My favorite techniques - the use of any hand work with needle and thread on anything!

   I also love a lot of Chanel, but having been to the Dior exhibition (London) I think I found my favourite there

   I'm late to the party, here, but Madeleine Vionnet was a master of fabric manipulation and certainly
   at the inception of modern elegance.

   Chanel, Dior, Fortuny. It’s impossible to choose just one.

   Although I'm not a big fan of Stella McCartney's designs, her dress for Megan Markle's wedding is stunning ^_^
   Versace is the most adorable fashion house. Their designs are gorgeous, yet classy. Even with those crazy prints and unordinary style, they look extremely feminine.
