Marie Antoinettea France's colonial fashion icon.

1. The association of France with fashion and style (French:la mode) dates largely to the reign ofLouis

XIV[3]when the luxury goods industries in France came increasingly under royal control and the

French royal court became, arguably, the arbiter of taste and style in Europe. The rise in prominence

of French fashion was linked to the creation of the fashion press in the early 1670s (due in large part

toJean Donneau de Vis) which transformed the fashion industry by marketing designs to a broad

public outside the French court[4]and by popularizing notions such as the fashion "season" and

changing styles.[5]Louis XIV notably introduced one of the most noticeable feature of the men's

costume of the time : the immense wigs of curled hair.[6]It is said these originated from the fact that

Louis XIV started to wear wigs as he was getting bald, and to imitate this his courtiers put on false

hair.[6]The wearing of wigs lasted for over a century; they went through many changes, but they were

never quite so exaggerated as during this period.[6]

The extravagant, luxurious and evanescent styles of the French Royal court led the courtiers to run up

enormous debts to keep up the pace, at the peasants expense. Such fashion sprees notably ruinedMarie

Antoinettes reputation, and were one of the many factors paving the way for theFrench Revolution.[6]

TheSans-culottes(lit. Without knee-breeches) rejected the powdered wigs and the knee-breeches

assimilated to the nobility and favored informal styles (full-length trousers, and natural hairs...), which finally

triumphed over thebrocades,lace,periwig, and powder of the earlier eighteenth century.

Coco Chanelis the France's contemporary fashion icon who revolve the fashion worldwide.

France renewed its dominance of the high fashion (French:couture or haute couture) industry in the years

1860-1960 through the establishing of the greatcouturierhouses, the fashion press (Voguewas founded in

1892) andfashion shows. The first modern Parisian couturier house is generally considered the work of the

EnglishmanCharles Frederick Worthwho dominated the industry from 1858-1895.[7]In the late nineteenth and

early twentieth century, the industry expanded through such Parisian fashion houses as the house ofJacques

Doucet(founded in 1871), Rouff (founded 1884),Jeanne Paquin(founded in 1891; she trained at Rouff and

was the first woman to open her own fashion house), theCallot Soeurs(founded 1895 and operated by four

sisters),Paul Poiret(founded in 1903),Madeleine Chruit(founded 1906),Madeleine Vionnet(founded in

1912),Chanel(founded byCoco Chanel, it first came to prominence in 1925),Elsa Schiaparelli(founded in

1927) andBalenciaga(founded by the SpaniardCristbal Balenciagain 1937).

World War II[edit source|editbeta]Many fashion houses closed during occupation of Paris duringWorld War II, including the Maison Vionnetand

the Maison Chanel. In contrast to the stylish, liberated Parisienne, theVichy regimepromoted the model of the

wife and mother, the robust, athletic young woman, a figure who was much more in line with the new political

criteria. Germany, meanwhile, was taking possession of over half of what France produced, including high

fashion, and was also considering relocating French haute couture to the cities of Berlin andVienna, neither of

which had any significant tradition of fashion. The archives of theChambre Syndicale de la Couturewere

seized, most consequentially the client list.Jewswere excluded from the fashion industry.

Due to the difficult times, the number of models in shows was limited to seventy-five, evening wear was

shortened and day wear was much lighter, made using substitute materials whenever possible. From 1940

onward, no more than thirteen feet (four meters) of cloth was permitted to be used for a coat and a little over

three feet (one meter) was all that allowed for a blouse. No belt could be over one and a half inches (four

centimeters) wide. Among young men in the War Years thezazousuit became popular.

In spite of the fact that so many fashion houses closed down or moved away during the war, several new

houses remained open, includingJacques Fath, Maggy Rouff,Marcel Rochas, Jeanne Lafaurie,Nina Ricci,

and Madeleine Vramant. During the Occupation, the only true way for a woman to flaunt her extravagance and

add to colour to a drab outfit was to wear a hat. In this period, hats were often made of scraps of material that

would have otherwise been thrown away, sometimes incorporating butter muslin, bits of paper, and wood

shavings. Among the most innovative milliners of the time were Pauline Adam, Simone Naudet, Rose Valois,

and Le Monnier

Evening dress, House of Dior, 1954.Indianapolis Museum of Art.

Post-War[edit source|editbeta]

Post-war fashion returned to prominence throughChristian Dior's famous "New Look" in 1947: the collection

contained dresses with tiny waists, majestic busts, and full skirts swelling out beneath small bodices, in a

manner very similar to the style of theBelle poque. The extravagant use of fabric and the feminine elegance

of the designs appealed greatly to a post-war clientele. Other important houses of the period includedPierre

BalmainandHubert de Givenchy(opened in 1952). The fashion magazineEllewas founded in 1945. In

1952,Coco Chanelherself returned to Paris.[8]

Yves Saint Laurentis one of the fashion designers who make history being part of the contemporary culture with they mentorChristian Dior.

In the 1960s, "high fashion" came under criticism from France's youth culture (including they-ys) who were

turning increasingly to London and to casual styles.[9]In 1966, the designerYves Saint Laurentbroke with

established high fashion norms by launching aprt--porter("ready to wear") line and expanding French

fashion into mass manufacturing and marketing (member houses of the Chambre Syndicale were forbidden to

use even sewing machines).[10]Further innovations were carried out byPaco RabanneandPierre Cardin. In

post-1968 France, youth culture would continue to gravitate away from the "sociopolitically suspect" luxury

clothing industry, preferring instead a more "hippy" look (termedbaba coolin French).[11]With a greater focus on

marketing and manufacturing, new trends were established bySonia Rykiel,Thierry Mugler,Claude

Montana,Jean-Paul GaultierandChristian Lacroixin the 1970s and 80s. The 1990s saw a conglomeration of

many French couture houses under luxury giants and multinationals such asLVMH.

Since the 1960s, France's fashion industry has come under increasing competition from London, New York,

Milan and Tokyo. Nevertheless, many foreign designers still seek to make their careers in France:Karl

Lagerfeld(German) at Chanel,John Galliano(British) at Dior, Paulo Melim Andersson (Swedish) at

Chloe,Stefano Pilati(Italian) at Yves Saint Laurent,Marc Jacobs(American) at Louis Vuitton,Kenzo

Takada(Japanese) andAlexander McQueen(English) at Givenchy (until 2001).
