the established names of Paris fashion?

Does the "names" refer to people designing clothes or just the brands of clothes?

Both. You have Christian Lacroix, a designer of haute couture, and then you have "Christian Lacroix", referring to clothes, handbags, perfume, etc. made by the House of Lacroix.
