    “Though born and raised in England, Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895) became the first world famous French fashion designer. He was also the first to create and employ the principles of design and fashion that would be called "haute couture," or "high fashion." Worth not only designed clothes for much of Europe's nobility and many American millionaires, he also introduced many modern changes in the ways clothing was designed, made, and sold.
    Worth was born in 1825 in Lincolnshire, in the east of England. His father was a lawyer who had lost most of his money gambling, so young Charles was forced to go out to work when he was only eleven. He worked for many years at a department store, then at a company that sold fabrics. Through his sales experience he learned about what women wanted and needed in clothing and fashion. He wished to become a dress designer, so at the age of twenty he took a job with a fabric firm in Paris, where he could study design while he worked. It was there that he introduced his first new idea of offering dress design to customers at the fabric company. For the first time, ladies could get the whole dress, design and fabric, at the same location.
    Before Worth began his design career, dresses had been made by dressmakers, and designs had been created by the customer and the dressmaker, who got ideas from looking at pictures of popular dresses. Worth was one of the first designers to come up with his own ideas, based on his knowledge of women's needs. Soon he started his own company. The wife of the Austrian ambassador bought a dress from Worth that attracted the notice of the Empress of France. Worth became the court designer, and was soon making dresses for the royalty of Russia, Italy, Spain, and Austria. Famous and wealthy Americans such as the Vanderbilts and the Astors also came to the House of Worth for special gowns, making Worth the first celebrity fashion designer…”

    I used to work for a French company when I was working there the owner got married. Her wedding dress was made by the house of Christian Dior, it was a stunning wedding gown made of lace with a long train. I know for a fact that her wedding dress cost over $500,000.

      WoW!!!At such moments it becomes obvious that fashion is a kind of art...Although it is hard for me as a person living in a country where there is a war to understand buying a dress for such money) I immediately consider the number of weapons that can save lives...
      But somewhere there is another life, and it's beautiful!

    Not sure why Charles Worth is considered the father of Haute Couture when Rose Bertin was making dresses for Marie Antoinette. Maybe because he was a man? Or maybe because his work has survived? I think he was he the first to present collection for the two seasons. But not sure about that. But Paris was already the capital of fashion and luxury for centuries before Worth even set up shop. His work is AMAZING but i am not sure he was father of anything other than his sons.

      I agree with you!
      It's just that there were a lot of new and revolutionary things he brought to the world of sales...I think that's the point).
      And also, it's just such a popular expression, so it's accepted to talk about him, but it doesn't mean that he was the only one so great ).
      Thanks for your opinion!❤️

      @@FashionQuestion Do an episode on Rose Bertin. Marie Antoinette was considered the Queen of Fashion. Lots of the legitimate biographies on her talk about her dressmaker Rose Bertin and how they started trends and new fashions together.

      I think the reason was that she dressed clothes that had been cut by men. Women were not allowed to become tailors. Bertin would trim and embroider and add flowers but she didn’t actually make clothes so the idea of a designer didn’t exist. The style of dress changed very little year on year. The cut might not change for five years. Instead the trimming would reflect recent happening. Colours might show an allegiance to a person. There was a colour that became fashionable because it reminded the king of the contents of his baby sons nappy/diaper. Puce became fashionable it reminded the king of a flea, puce in French.
