I was really hoping to see "Bean" on this quiz so I could throw out Leon Leonwood. :)

Aren't there two of them, though? I'm a corduroy and tweed man myself, so I'm certainly no expert of fashion.

I took off the least guessed answer and added Gianni Versace with Donatella as an accepted answer.

I'm guessing that the stats reflect the fact that Versace replaced the least-guessed answer, because there's no way he is guessed that low.

16/21. There were a lot of answers on this quiz that I did not know I knew. I know nothing about fashion, but somehow the likes of "Manolo Blahnik" were rooting around my brain somewhere. I tried "Elizabeth" for "Liz Claiborne," and I'm not even sure if I pulled that out of thin air or whether I've actually heard of this person.

Probably from the O. J. Simpson trial, where he denied ever wearing "those ugly ass" Manolo Blahnik shoes. If I'm not mistaken, a subsequent photograph showed him wearing a pair.

Being a woman probably helped me. I doubt that my husband would know many of them except maybe Calvin Klein from Back to the Future.
