Know Everything About All about Fashion
Added: June 16, 2009
When we think
about fashion, our mind immediately turns to the gorgeous and much
anticipated collections presented both in March and in September by
the most renowned designers for the winter or the summer season
(according to the period these collections are shown). We associate
this word with some wonderful cities such as Paris, London, New York
and Milan where these fashion weeks periodically take place,
capturing the attention of thousands of buyers and journalists from
all over the world. Cities such as Paris or Milan are considered the
capitals of haute couture because it's there that you can find the
most gorgeous ateliers, the best boutiques, the very latest in the
matter of elegance and luxury.
Italian high
fashion is closely associated with the famous Milanese "fashion
quadrilateral", where, beautiful designer boutiques and selected
stores flourish and the shop-windows display the ultimate trends in
the fashion world.
But how did
fashion develop through the years? Has Milan always been the capital
of Italian fashion?
Who was the
first European designer?
Where did the
first Italian fashion show take place?
How did
Italian fashion influence the United States and the American movie stars?
We've been
doing some research to discover all these interesting facts
concerning the magical world of fashion and now we'd like to share
the results of our analysis with you.
We have
created a category where you can finally read interesting facts,
historical events and everything you have always wanted to know about
the enthralling world of fashion. We will periodically publish here
some posts just focused on fashion and when it took its first steps
in Europe and in particular in Italy.
Please feel
free to interact with us, writing to us with your knowledge and your
personal point of view! We would really appreciate it!
WHO WAS THE FIRST EVER FASHION DESIGNER?
[...] At this
point, you might easily assume that fashion was really born in Milan
many years ago, that the first fashion
designer was an Italian and that our country has always been the
undisputed leader of fashion all around the world!!!!
Italy, and in
particular Milan has certainly given a valuable contribution to the
development of fashion trends and styles in the world, but it can't
take the credit for having given birth to the very first "fashion
designer".
The birth of
the Italian fashion style: Florence challenges Paris!!!
This
innovative idea of a fashion show offering both the famous and
emerging Italian designers the opportunity of presenting their
creations to an international audience and gaining popularity and
prestige overseas, was conceptualized by the Florentine aristocrat
Giovan Battista Giorgini. |
