WELCOME FASHION HISTORIANS!!!!

TO GET WHERE YOU ARE GOING - YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE YOU CAME FROM...

The history of design refers to the development of the fashion industry which designs clothing and accessories. The modern industry, based around firms or fashion houses run by individual designers, started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created.

Sometimes called sarcastically the "Minister of Fashion", she opened a shop in Paris and had a considerable influence on Parisian style, until this was drastically changed by the French Revolution, from which she fled into exile in London for some years.
