“Some Famous French Fashion Inventors”
08/08/2012- Sophie Juramy
By the time of Louis XIV (1638- 1715) France was the
country of creation. During the court of the “Sun King” buttons became jewelry and
start to expand through Europe. They were made of fabulous precious stones such
as diamonds, ruby…or beautiful paintings. Everyone was competing to wear the
most fabulous costumes. At that time ties which were simple men’s “tied” scarfs
were transformed into very fashionable laces, ribbons “pendant knots” ! The
most popular men’s accessory was born!
Later on in 1926 the American New- Yorker inventor
Jesse Langsdorf decided to cut into the diagonally fabric and to make ties into
3 parts. The contemporary tie began his fabulous worldwide life!
More recently Coco Chanel (1883-1971) launched the woman
fashion liberation through short hair-cut, shortening skirts, pants for women
and the very famous “la petite robe noire” (the simple black dress) ! Women
could move!
In the 60’s Yves Saint- Laurent (1936-2008) used men’s
code and wardrobe to dress women .Among his revolutionary creations “pants
suits” for women were one of the most impacting act meaning that women have the
men’s power ! ”
