    Designer clothing

    The word 'clothing' acts as a plural.

    it could be either/or depending on the structure of the speech or sentence

    I think that when your are talking SERPS more people punch in "designer clothes" however, as rightfully pointed out "designer clothing" would be the other, however using "clothings" is not something a english speaking user would type in google.

    As the others have said designer clothes is also an option, although not one suggested in the opening post. As an English person I always say designer clothing.

    Designer Clothing is what I'd select. :)

    Designer Clothes sounds informal.
