  • Cloth, Fashion and Revolution 'Evocative' Garments and a Merchant's Know-How: Madame Teillard, Dressmaker at the Palais-Ro
    CLOTH, FASHION AND REVOLUTION ‘EVOCATIVE’ GARMENTS AND A MERCHANT’S KNOW-HOW: MADAME TEILLARD, DRESSMAKER AT THE PALAIS-ROYAL By Professor Natacha Coquery, University of Lyon 2 (France) Revolutionary upheavals have substantial repercussions on the luxury goods sector. This is because the luxury goods market is ever-changing, highly competitive, and a source of considerable profits. Yet it is also fragile, given its close ties to fashion, to the imperative for novelty and the short-lived, and to objects or materials that act as social markers, intended for consumers from elite circles. However, this very fragility, related to fashion’s fleeting nature, can also be a strength. When we speak of fashion, we speak of inventiveness and constant innovation in materials, shapes, and colours. Thus, fashion merchants become experts in the fleeting and the novel. In his Dictionnaire universel de commerce [Universal Dictionary of Trade and Commerce], Savary des Bruslons assimilates ‘novelty’ and ‘fabrics’ with ‘fashion’: [Fashion] […] It is commonly said of new fabrics that delight with their colour, design or fabrication, [that they] are eagerly sought after at first, but soon give way in turn to other fabrics that have the charm of novelty.1 In the clothing trade, which best embodies fashion, talented merchants are those that successfully start new fashions and react most rapidly to new trends, which are sometimes triggered by political events. In 1763, the year in which the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Seven Years’ War, the haberdasher Déton of Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris, ‘in whose shop one finds all fashionable merchandise, invented preliminary hats, decorated on the front in the French style, and on the back in the English manner.’2 The haberdasher made a clear and clever allusion to the preliminary treaty, signed a year earlier.

This recommended commer- cial standard was not officially accepted, but was made available for distribution upon request. The standing committee reviewed subse- quent comment, and prepared a revised draft, which was circulated for written acceptance on October 28, 1938. This draft was accepted by a large portion of the trade. After further review and considera- tion, a sufficient number of signed acceptances were received from manufacturers, distributors, and users to justify promulgation by the United States Department of Commerce, through the National Bureau of Standards. The standard is effective for new production from July 15, 1946. Promulgation recommended. F. W. Reynolds, Acting Chief, Division of Trade Standards. Promulgated. E. U.

On view in Norell will be approximately 100 ensembles and accessories from MFIT’s permanent collection, as well as a compelling selection of objects borrowed from the stellar private collection of Kenneth Pool. The exhibition is organized by Patricia Mears, MFIT deputy director, and designer Jeffery Banks, guest curator. The exhibition emphasizes key Norell designs that were developed early on and remained constant throughout his career. Many examples of his day and evening wear are on view. These garments, accessories, and related objects are organized thematically to illustrate the range of Norell’s extraordinary output and the consistently outstanding quality of work produced by his atelier. Although some of the objects date back to the early 1930s, most were designed during the last 12 years of Norell’s career—from 1960 to 1972. This phase is notable because Norell bought out his investors in the 1960s, and from then on, his name alone appeared on his label. It also was arguably his most Photograph by Milton H.

  • Fabrics, Haberdasheries and Spices: Shopping Internationally in 17Th
    Fabrics, haberdasheries and spices: Shopping internationally in 17th-century Lutterworth Introduction Lutterworth is a small market town in south-west Leicestershire, approximately 110 miles north of London. The diocesan population returns of 1563 recorded 106 households in the town, increasing to 225 houses in the 1670 Hearth Tax.1 Lutterworth is adjacent to Watling Street, which allowed ready access to the wide variety of imported goods coming into London’s ports as well as knowledge of London fashions. Three probate inventories spanning the 17th century survive for large shops in the town, selling a wide range of cloth, haberdashery and groceries, taken on the deaths of Francis Pope (1626),2 John Almey (1666),3 and Daniel Ogden (1695).4 Probate inventories were made upon people’s death and recorded all that the deceased owned, not just the contents of their shops. However they do not record wealth, as debts owed are not included, and these may have been substantial. Three inventories is a very small number, but these shops stand out from other probate inventories from the town by their size, value, and the range of goods they stocked. Although Lutterworth was growing, it seems unlikely that more than one shop such as these would have been present at any one time. These inventories reveal a developing range of goods available for sale, enabling us to identify which products became popular, and more widespread, as they were introduced into England. There will many reasons why shop contents changed over time, but this essay will focus on the impact of foreign trade and international relations on the three types of goods: cloth, haberdashery and groceries.
