US fashion designer Marc Jacobs believes that his female counterparts have a more long-lasting influence on fashion.

The former Louis Vuitton creative director thinks women have had more of an impact with lasting ideas, while men have done more for short-lived trends, reports contactmusic.com.

"Throughout history, the best designers and the ones who have made the biggest difference and the longest-lasting difference in fashion are women," he said and mentioned names like Miuccia Prada, Rei Kawakubo, Madeleine Vionnet, Elsa Schiaparelli, Madame Gres, Chanel, and Westwood.

"I remember years ago, Saint Laurent was talking about how he wanted to create a style because that's what Chanel did. That's what lasts. Not to create a fashion. A fashion is a trend," he added.
