    History of Fashion

    The first designer who was not merely a


    dressmaker was Charles Frederick Worth (1826
    1895).
    He set up his maison couture fashion house in
    Paris, the clothing design and creation was
    handled by largely anonymous people, and high
    fashion descended from style worn at royal courts.
    The term couturier was in fact first created in
    order to describe him.
    It was during this period that many design houses
    began to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for
    garments.

    Early 20 Century
    th

    all high fashion originated in Paris, and to a lesser


    extent London. Fashion magazines from other
    countries sent editors to the Paris fashion shows.
    Department stores sent buyers to the Paris shows,
    where they purchased garments to copy (and openly
    stole the style lines and trim details of others).
    Both made-to-measure salons and ready-to-wear
    departments featured the latest Paris trends,
    adapted to the stores' assumptions about the
    lifestyles and pocket books of their targeted
    customers.

    fashion style magazines now include photographs


    and became even more influential than in the
    past. In cities throughout the world these
    magazines were greatly sought-after and had a
    profound effect on public taste.

    Talented illustrators - among them Paul Iribe,


    Georges Lepape, Ert, and George Barbier.

    most famous of these magazines was


    La Gazette du bon ton which was founded in 1912
    by Lucien Vogel.

    1900s

    The outfits worn by the fashionable women of the


    'Belle poque' (as this era was called by the
    French) were similar to those worn in the heyday
    of the fashion pioneer Charles Worth.
    Resemble hourglass-shaped style of the 1800s.
    The curvaceous S-Bend silhouette dominated
    fashion up until around 1908. The S-Bend corset
    was very tightly laced at the waist and so forced
    the hips back.
    Toward the end of the decade the fashionable
    silhouette gradually became somewhat more
    straight and slim, partly due to Paul Poiret's highwaisted, shorter-skirt.

    Fashionable hats at the time were either tiny little


    confections that perched on top of the head, or
    large and wide brimmed, trimmed with ribbons,
    flowers, and even feathers.

    The Maison Redfern was the first fashion house to


    offer women a tailored suit based directly on its
    male counterpart and the extremely practical and
    soberly elegant garment.

    1910s

    the fashionable silhouette became much more


    flexible,fluid and soft than in the 1900s.
    The couturier Paul Poiret was one of the first
    designers to transformed harem girls in flowing
    pantaloons, turbans, and vivid colors and in
    exotic kimono.
    Simple felt hats, turbans, replaced the styles of
    headgear popular in the 1900s.
    The first real fashion shows were organized
    during this period in time, by the first female
    couturier, Jeanne Paquin, who was also the first
    Parisian couturier to open foreign branches in
    London, Buenos Aires, and Madrid.

    The Venice-based designer Mariano Fortuny y


    Madrazo conceived a special pleating process and
    new dyeing techniques. He gave the name
    Delphos to his long clinging sheath dresses that
    undulated with color. Each garment was made of
    a single piece of the finest silk, its unique color.
    Changes in dress during World War I were
    dictated more by necessity than fashion. As more
    and more women were forced to work, they
    demanded clothes that were better suited to their
    new activities.
    By 1915 fashionable skirts had risen above the
    ankle and then later to mid-calf.

    1920s

    Soon after the First World War, a radical change


    came about in fashion.
    Corsets were abandoned and women borrowed their
    clothes from the male wardrobe and chose to dress
    like boys.
    A bustless, waistless silhouette emerges supported
    by feather boas, embroidery, and showy accessories.
    The hat was widely-worn and sportswear became
    popular with both men and women during the
    decade, with designers like Jean Patou and Coco
    Chanel popularizing the sporty and athletic look.

    The great couturire Coco Chanel was a major


    figure in fashion at the time, as much for her
    magnetic personality as for her chic and
    progressive designs.
    Chanel helped popularize the bob hairstyle, the
    little black dress, and the use of jersey knit for
    women's clothing and also elevated the status of
    both costume jewelry and knitwear.
    Two other prominent French designers of the
    1920s were Jeanne Lanvin and Jean Patou.

    The Lanvin style embraced the look of the time,


    with its skillful use of complex trimmings, dazzling
    embroideries, and beaded decorations in light,
    clear, floral colors that eventually became a Lanvin
    trademark.
    By 1925 Lanvin produced many different products,
    including sportswear, furs, lingerie, men's fashion,
    and interior designs.
    The style of Jean Patou was never mainstream, but
    full of originality and characterized by a studied
    simplicity which was to win him fame, particularly in
    the American markets. Many of his garments, with
    their clean lines, geometric and Cubist motifs, and
    mixture of luxury and practicality.

    In menswear there was a growing mood of informality,


    among the Americans especially, which was mirrored in
    fashions that emphasized youthfulness and relaxation.

    Short suit jackets replaced the old long jackets of the


    past which were now only worn for formal occasions.
    Men had a variety of sport clothes available to them,
    including sweaters and short pants, commonly known
    as knickers.

    For evening wear a short tuxedo was more fashionable


    than the tail-coat, which was now seen as somewhat
    old-fashioned. The London cut, with its slim lines, loosefitting sleeves, and padded shoulders, perfected by the
    English tailor Scholte, was very popular.
