British Apparel: Status And Influence In Fashion History

In the autumn and winter fashion week, which just ended in Paris in March 2011, John Galliano, a fashion designer who had planned to play the role in March 6th, was criticized by Dior for his improper remarks on the Jews. Previously, in the October 6, 2010 Paris 2011 spring and summer fashion week, Hermes took the live horse to T on the curtain call, leaving the audience with a big surprise.

In today's fashion world, the first thing people want to achieve is to dream of Paris.

New York showcase commerce, Milan shows skills and London displays its courage.

Only Paris shows dreams.

If you mention only one French brand, it can only be Coco Chanel.

Chanel's "double C" has long been the pride of the fashion industry, and it is also one of the women's most desirable brands on the earth.

Chanel is very smart and dares to challenge tradition. She is convinced that simplicity is the best way to show good texture.

She emancipated the tradition and opposed the secular world. She dressed men and women in disguise and turned casual clothes into fashion. She emancipated women and created the era of women's fashion.

Chanel has created an era of her own.

Christine Dio has always been a synonym for beautiful women.

He has chosen the high quality gorgeous fabrics to show dazzling, glittering gorgeous and elegant women's clothing, which has attracted the attention of the fashion industry.

He inherited the tradition of French women's dress, and always maintained a high level of gorgeous design, fine workmanship, symbolizing the highest spirit of French fashion culture.

Dior is known as one of the best designers in the century.

Dior has also grown two masters in one hand: Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent.

Noble and splendid is the most typical style of Kristen rakat.

He can design and customize fabrics for a person to wear and make fashion.

At the same time, exaggerated fashion is more complex and gorgeous, which will make the wearing people feel light and comfortable.

Chlo e was born in 1950s. That is the challenge of the lifestyle clothing brand to the aristocratic Paris high fashion tradition.

Chlo e brand is the chameleon of Paris's senior garment industry. Although it employs quite a lot of famous teachers, its brand style framework has not changed due to the change of designers.

It is not just French brands that have come out of Paris.

In this sense, Paris has a very open mind.

In other words, Paris fashion week wants to pass the boutique image of French fashion. It doesn't matter whether the designer comes from France or not. It takes up half of all brands in Paris fashion week.

In the same year, the French fashion association did not ask Lssey Miyake, Wakubo Rei, Yamamoto Teruji, KENZO, these unique Japanese designers to work hard to promote the "French style". The association even helped Wakubo Ling get a $one hundred million annual sale.

This is also China's "exception", "Ji Fen" people want to prove themselves, the first thought is to go to Paris to run a show.

In contrast, the acceptance of "foreigners" in Milan and London is not high, the feeling of staying in residence is very strong, and the business atmosphere in New York is too strong. Only Paris really absorbs the elite of the world.

Almost all of the fashion designers from Japan, the United Kingdom and Belgium went into the world through Paris.

The Italy Fashion Association, which controls Milan fashion week until now, still aims to protect, collaborate and strengthen Italy's fashion image in Italy and abroad. They hope that their overseas designers can also promote Italian style with them, but they will give the outside world a stubborn and conservative impression.

Against this background, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, these extremely talented Britons have been crossing the border, and the "Six Gentlemen of Antwerp" have also been successful here.

The success of Italy can be said to have been through decades of hardship.

In the past, Italians bought design copyrights from Paris fashion companies, and sold them after cutting out complicated and luxurious details. Italy designers were proud to mark "this dress inspired by Paris fashion".

As early as 1950, Milan has made Emilio Pucci the first fashion master in Italy to have global influence. However, after the creation of "Italy trend" around the world by Giorgio Armani, Versace, Prada and Dolce & Gabbanna, Milan really acquired the fashionable position that can be compared with Paris. In order to achieve this goal, Milan has been waiting for 30 years.

Feng Shui turns around.

In March 28, 2011, when we interviewed Zaneby Lingle, a German brand founded in 1977 on the CHIC2011 site, its marketing manager, Dr. Zaneby Lingle, said, "maybe you will think that the name of our brand is a bit like Italian. Our brand inspiration really comes from Italy. Our brand is" Italy inspiration, German technology, made in Europe ".

Italians may have a knowing smile when they hear this passage.

In many different suits, people usually hear the word "European style". This may be the most popular type of Western-style clothes. But in a strict sense, only a close fitting, no fork, square pagoda shoulder, extreme stress on structure and a clear cut of the front chest can be called "European style".

Today, the famous brand of men's wear is Brioni from Rome.

This brand designed menswear is famous for its wide shoulders and its tailored waist line.

Another is Tom Ford.

There is a basic version of western style suit called "British shoulder padded suit".

As the name suggests, this is the real British traditional suit version.

This cut began in 1920s and was improved by the special tailor Frederick Scholte of Duke of Windsor in 1930s.

This version is even softer than the European style suit, does not outline the inverted triangle shape, but has a close design at the waist, and tightens some of the buttocks at the waist.

At the same time, the shoulders are sagging, but because of their thin shoulder pads, they are quite natural.

The best spokesman for the British shoulder padded suit is the British royal family, the former Prince Charles, now the prince of William and Harry.

Prince William had a very high demand for suits. He said that every time he tried fitting in a tailor's shop, he would do some violent movements, then suddenly stopped to see whether the collar of his suit was still on his thin neck.

This most traditional English version can be found in the most famous Anderson & Sheppard store in London and the Alan Flusser store in the United States.

In Michael Douglas's movie Wall Street, the leading junk bond king Gekko will wear this type of suit on different occasions.

Mention of British fashion can not fail to mention Burberry and Dunhill.

The two brands are of pure British origin, regardless of style or temperament.

Burberry's high-end brands, Burberry Prorsum and Alfred Dunhill, are preserving their traditional charm in recent years, and are constantly innovating. They have successfully blended the factors of simplicity, modernity and vitality.

Paul Smith, once classicist, has become an example of British interest and details. What is most sought after is the rebellious spirit inside.

His men's clothing series is known as "the classic is the main line, the left and right sides", but those non classical factors did not affect the conservative traditional men's clothing in Britain.

Smith's early design was classical.

His jacket is also a traditional style, but he opens the sleeves a little lower, making it more convenient for wearing, and skillfully modifying the trousers.

The fabric is made of tweed and woollen fabrics. The design is a traditional British style with a little weirdness. It can be accepted by conservative city people and accepted by the Yi people.

For these people, Paul Smith is an important symbol of their image.

All these brands have always been fashion navigators, and the styles they create have influenced many of the latecomers.

Even though some brands are no longer in sight, their status and influence in fashion history are indelible.
