The early twentieth
century: Throughout the 1920s and ‘80s, all high fashion
originated in Paris. American and British fashion magazines sent editors to the
Paris fashion shows. Department stores sent buyers to the Paris shows, where
they purchased garments to copy. Both made-to-measure salons and ready-to-wear
departments featured the latest Paris trends, adapted to the stores’
assumptions about the lifestyles and pocket books of American customers.
Post-War fashion:
The fashion houses closed during occupation of Paris during World War II, and
several designers including Mainbocher permanently relocated to New York. Paris
recovered its primacy in the post-war era with Dior’s New Look, but Paris was
never the sole arbiter of trends again.
By the early 1960s,
celebrities were becoming the new Fashion icons, even though they in turn wore
designs from the couturiers of the day: influential “partnerships” of celebrity
and high fashion designer included Audrey Hepburn and Givenchy, and Jackie
Kennedy, Oleg Cassini.
The rise of British fashion in the mid-sixties and
designers such as Mary Quant and Betsey Johnson signaled the end of French
dominance. Taking their cue from street fashion, these designers catered to a
younger consumer and offered retailers a new source of inspiration
