Compare and contrast with the fashion style by Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, they both wanted to complete change in ways of fashion no one had in decades. They shook the establishment out of its bourgeois, minimalist stupor with bold, sexy designs. For Westwood, she has established her own unusual fashion style, since she exhibited her works in 1972. Her style at this point of punk was remarkable-platinum blondes spiked hair, pale skin with dark lipstick, and wonderful little kits with outsized

My Major Textile Project is a ballgown styled evening piece that is simple, elegant and uncluttered. It is designed to be worn in an extremely formal setting such as a red carpet event and therefore falls into the category of apparel. My ensemble consists of a corset which is fastened at the back via eyelets laced with ribbon with a decorative pintucking crosshatched design on the front panel. This is paired with a full-length skirt with petticoats to add bulk, creating a design very reminiscent

Describing the furor at Marc Bohan’s first haute couture collection for Christian Dior, the New York Times reported “the shouting, clapping, surging mob at the press showing caused chaos in the elegant salon. Marc Bohan was… kissed, mauled, and congratulated. Chairs were toppled.” Bohan’s Spring/Summer 1961 collection, the “Slim Look,” surged a wave of enthusiastic admiration that signaled the beginning of his spirited tenure at Dior. From 1961 until 1989, Bohan was the House of Dior. The fashion

The society we live in today, has made efforts to make the world a more eco-friendly environment. For the most part, different industries have made a push to better the ecosystem. The oil industry developed a “clean” fuel refinery, a design to eliminate or minimize solid waste. The automotive industry has promoted cars that are fueled by power instead of gas, to decrease pollution, and the manufacturing industry has gone green by developing new equipment that uses less energy. It is almost as if

Fashion Marketing is a way to contribute to the field of the fashion industry’s process to success. I have always seen fashion marketing and communications as an opportunity, appreciation and passion for fashion and all that it stands for. Jobs within fashion marketing can include; merchandising, product development and production, trend forecasting, public relations, visual merchandising and marketing and leadership related positions. A large part of all these jobs is having an understanding for

The general notion on 19th century fashion photography is that it did not exist. This is consider a falsity, since the contribution of Parisian fashion photographers dates back to 1881. Perhaps this misbelief its fueled by the general assumption that Americans were first in line when it came to fashion photography, due primarily to Edward Steichen’s statement that he was the first fashion photographer (quote another book*****), and the general understanding that Baron Adolph de Meyer was the first

This book contains the fashion style since 1400's to 1600's. I am especially interested in the royals fashion e.g. Henry VIII, Princess Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth I. In this book, it also mentions the preferred style for each of the Kings, Queens, and Princesses. This book talks about each of the clothes worn by upper-class men, women and the lower class men, women, also including the townspeople and accessories. Also in this book on every page, there is a section about the rules and trends based

From my reading I have ascertained that there is almost a definite line in fashion. A before Chanel and an after Chanel. With so many revolutionary breakthroughs this designer drew a definite line in the sand with her work. Common fashion staples in the twenty-first century were a direct result of Chanel. Such as the well-known “Little Black Dress” more commonly nicknamed the LBD. According to Jessa Krick who wrote a short article for the Met Museum said the following, “In 1926, American Vogue likened
