  • The Creation of a Perfume Is Both a Science and an Art, and Choosing a Scent Is Deeply Personal
    Perfume 80 I south africa deLuxe I bEAUTY & hEALTH perfume I 81 The creation of a perfume is both a science and an art, and choosing a scent is deeply personal. Aroma is evocative. In French, the word for “to smell” is sentir. It’s hardly surprising that the same word also means “to feel”. I always knew my mother was in the room by the scent of Elizabeth Arden’s Red Door or, later, Estée Lauder’s Beautiful. I spent many childhood afternoons playing dress-up in my grandmother’s scarves and gloves, which smelled faintly of 4711 Original Eau de Cologne by Maurer & Wirtz. I would fill her empty bottles with water and line them up proudly on my windowsill, feeling very sophisticated. Yet I never really used to think about perfume until I read Molly Birnbaum’s biography, ‘Season to Taste: How I lost my sense of smell and found my way’. Suddenly, a door was opened and I began to appreciate the history, art and allure of perfume. Birnbaum was about to begin studying towards becoming a chef when she was involved in a horrific accident and lost her sense of smell due to head injury. Her book chronicles her journey towards recovery as she begins to understand the critical role that smell – a generally underrated sense – plays. She embarked on a visit to Grasse, France, considered the historical centre of the modern fragrance industry and the setting for Patrick Süskind’s novel, ‘Perfume’. Grasse originally produced leather goods during the Middle Ages. The smell of its numerous tanneries permeated the air.

  • Jeanne Lanvin
    JEANNE LANVIN A 01long history of success: the If one glances behind the imposing façade of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 22, in Paris, Lanvin fashion house is the oldest one will see a world full of history. For this is the Lanvin headquarters, the oldest couture in the world. The first creations house in the world. Founded by Jeanne Lanvin, who at the outset of her career could not by the later haute couture salon even afford to buy fabric for her creations. were simple clothes for children. Lanvin’s first contact with fashion came early in life—admittedly less out of creative passion than economic hardship. In order to help support her six younger siblings, Lanvin, then only fifteen, took a job with a tailor in the suburbs of Paris. In 1890, at twenty-seven, Lanvin took the daring leap into independence, though on a modest scale. Not far from the splendid head office of today, she rented two rooms in which, for lack of fabric, she at first made only hats. Since the severe children’s fashions of the turn of the century did not appeal to her, she tailored the clothing for her young daughter Marguerite herself: tunic dresses designed for easy movement (without tight corsets or starched collars) in colorful patterned cotton fabrics, generally adorned with elaborate smocking. The gentle Marguerite, later known as Marie-Blanche, was to become the Salon Lanvin’s first model. When walking JEANNE LANVIN on the street, other mothers asked Lanvin and her daughter from where the colorful loose dresses came.

  • Paris–New York 1925
    127 6 PARIS–NEW YORK 1925 JEAN PATOU’S “ADVERTISING” Caroline Evans Introduction Through the lens of a single dress, this chapter looks at fashion and modernism in the mid-1920s. A close reading of its design motif, an embroidered Eiffel Tower, leads to a consideration of its wider cultural, commercial and ideological meanings, in both America and France. In looking at what Paris signifi ed to Americans, and America to the French, the chapter identifi es some of the contradictions and complexities of modernist identities across the fi elds of fashion, commerce and visual culture in the period. The modernism it identifi es, however, is not that of the artistic avant-garde but of work, business and popular culture, in particular new forms of advertising and promotion. It links fashion to the streamlined, organizational structures of modern commerce rather than to the seamless, mechanical forms of modernist visual culture. In this, it follows a number of other writers who have elaborated on the relationship of fashion to modernism beyond the realms of art and art history. The architect and art historian Mario Lupano and Alessandra Vaccari have argued that early twentieth-century fashion was an engine of modernism, not merely a refl ex of modernity; furthermore, they assert, the success of fashion in this respect eclipses other attempts to emancipate the relationship of fashion and modernism from narrow histories of art. 1 Similarly, the literary scholar Michael Levenson has argued that modernism is not just what he terms “soft culture” but also consists of “hard, causal powers of modern action” that include habits and routines: “the pace of walking, a style of gazing, a tensing of the muscles.

    Portfolio Portfolio Feature Feature NOTES FROM THE PERFUME INDUSTRY Olivier Pescheux Givaudan perfumer A Creations: 34 boulevard Saint Germain Diptyque, Amber Sky Ex Nihilo, Arpege Pour Homme Lanvin, 1 Million Paco Rabanne, Balmain Homme Pierre Balmain, Higher Christan Dior ESQ: In hindsight, do you find that trends, current events or cultural movements have an impact on your creations? OLIVIER PESCHEUX: It’s hard to answer with certainty. Nevertheless, perfumers are like sponges absorbing the air of time (Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps is one of the most accurate names you can find). Hence every societal movement leaves its mark on creations, in a more or less obvious way. It’s still too early to know in IN what ways the current health crisis will leave its mark in perfume, but it will leave its mark, that’s for sure. ESQ: Do you attribute gender to certain notes and raw materials? OLIVIER PESCHEUX : Not really, but it’s true that I perceive rose as rather feminine simply because it has been used a lot THE and in significant quantities in women’s fragrances in the West. That’s less true in the Middle East, where the rose also perfumes men. Lavender is rather masculine as it’s used a lot in fougère, the favourite family of men’s fragrances. It’s interesting to note that in Brazil, lavender is also feminine. So it’s more of a cultural affair. Yann Vasnier I’m trying to fight against this natural and cultural leaning, and on Givaudan perfumer the contrary, I use this challenge to fuel my creativity.

  • The Hands That Sew the Sequins
    PRESS REVIEW Eric Charles-Donatien The Hands That Sew the Sequins January 19, 2006 By ELIZABETH HAYT François Lesage showing a Saint Laurent fabric made by his company. Ed Alcock for The New York Times EVERY day for the last three weeks in Montmartre, 45 seamstresses at the House of Lesage, France's oldest embroiderer, have been hunched over wooden frames feverishly stitching sequins, rhinestones and beads onto gossamer cloth. Their needlework is so intricate it seems spun from candied sugar. Defying the official French 35-hour workweek, they are rushing to finish some 50 designs for the spring haute couture shows, which begin on Monday. The women are among the treasured "petites mains" (tiny hands), artisans who labor in workshops, that have changed little in a century, doing the elaborate handwork that transforms a designer's dress into a sumptuous showpiece of luxury. They make ornamental silk flowers, curling the edges with heated tools that look like lollipops. They fashion peau de soie evening sandals on custom lasts and stitch straw for hats and polish buttons shaped like bows and plate them in gold. It is in part this handwork that explains why haute couture garments come with astronomical price tags: upward of $25,000 for a suit and $150,000 for an evening gown. © Courtesy of Chanel A model on the catwalk wearing the results of the many specialized workshops of Paris.

It has since become the one-of-a- kind olfactory archives that to this day remains unique in the world. The idea of a “Maison des Parfums” (Home of Perfumes) was under evaluation by the technical commission of the Société Française des Parfumeurs for years. The aim was to create a place where professionals and fragrance lovers could rediscover the perfumes they had once known and loved. In addition, the institution was to devote itself to scents long forgotten, to become the only place where lost or discontinued fragrances could be reproduced, classified and archived. In order to realize such an ambitious project, several passionate perfumers, members of the commission, had to show a great deal of commitment and determination. Together they set to revive lost perfumes, creating their records and thus protecting the heritage of the fragrance industry. Those pioneers collected some 400 fragrances, of which 70 were already at the time discontinued. Two institutions have been enthusiastically and determinedly supporting the project: the Comité Français du Parfum (CFP) and the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Versailles Val d’Oise-Yvelines (CCIV). Thanks to their financial support, the Osmothèque has grown over the years...

  • Charles Kleibacker, Master of the Bias Cut; Designs, Construction and Techniques
    CHARLES KLEIBACKER, MASTER OF THE BIAS CUT; DESIGNS, CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNIQUES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Joycelyn Falsken, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Professor Patricia A. Cunningham, Adviser Professor Kathryn A. Jakes Professor Alice L. Conklin Curator Gayle M. Strege Copyright by Joycelyn Falsken 2008 ABSTRACT Charles Kleibacker was a fashion designer in New York City from 1960 to 1986, a time when fashion styles reflected the turmoil that occurred in society throughout those years. However, through it all Charles maintained an individual design aesthetic – soft figure-flattering bias dresses with a classic look that could be worn for years. This earned him a devoted clientele of women who purchased his designer ready-to-wear garments at top stores in New York, or were custom fit in his workshop. Because of his preference for and skill with bias, he became known as the Master of the Bias Cut. Trained in French couturier methods of construction, Kleibacker’s garments were all produced with the highest standards in fabric, construction and fit. Bias is known to be the most difficult ‘cut’ to work with when constructing garments. Charles experimented until he figured out how to solve the challenges, and then trained his workers in the exacting techniques required. Having first a career in journalism, Charles’ path to fashion was in “no way normal” and his approach to his business and the industry was not the norm either. Starting small, through much determination and sacrifice, he overcame many obstacles to produce garments engineered for an enduring and graceful artistry.
