About this deck
Charles Frederick Worth, an English draper's apprentice, opens a salon at 7 rue de la Paix, Paris, in 1858. He shows finished gowns on live models — until then, dressmakers had brought their fabrics and sketches to the client's house — and signs his label inside each garment. The fashion designer, in the modern sense, has just been invented. Key sections include: Worth invents the designer.; Coco Chanel cuts the corset.; February 12, 1947: The New Look.; Le smoking.; Tokyo arrives in Paris.; Margiela hides his face.; A century of silhouettes.; The supply chain.; The fashion photograph.; Watch list..
