An extended gossip column of fashion's biggest namesBy Doreen GreenI've always wished that I could be one of those fashionable people, but completely lacked the aesthetic sensibilities. So, the whole fashion thing baffled me. This book, however, I could get.It starts with the history of clothing as a business in France. There were even crazy laws about who was legally permitted to make clothing! Then it covers the next couple hundred years of the fashion industry, with France leading the way of course (the title refers to fashion as the fashion industry, not history of fashion as in individual garments specific to each country).Grumbach takes great pains to show how business and industrialization influence or are influenced by the art and designers. But what's really awesome is the way the tangents and anecdotes really display the personality of the biggest names in fashion. Little stories, like the petty reason for Chanel #5's name, or which designers were close friends when they should have been rivals.Overall, this is a great book for anyone who wants to understand why fashion has developed the way it has, why the people who are prominent in it were the ones who succeeded, and those who simply want a privileged look at the inner lives of fashion's biggest characters. First English translation of critically-acclaimed book opens the door to the fascinating universe of fashion. This book is not just a history of fashion from the early days of the creation of dressmaking fashion to the development of ready- to-wear manufacturing and the global enterprise it is today. Its ambition is to be the story of the creation, the evolution, and the implosion of the fashion related professions. With readable, highly-informative, and entertaining text--coupled with stunning photography--this book offers valuable insights into a profession which, unlike any other social body, is determined as much by its origins as by its economic context. Didier Grumbach walks you down the runways of fashion history and unfolds the secrets of the industry with stories and accounts from those who have played an active part in its development from the 1920s to the present. And he knows what he is talking about: he was born, grew up and made his mark in the circle that he opens for us here. For decades, he has collected archives, met with witnesses, interacted with the most influential players, and opened doors which are normally kept firmly shut. In his international bestseller, he finally offers us a 20th century illustrated history of fashion like no other--a saga, a family business, with noble fathers, prodigal sons, enthusiasms, passions, hatreds, strokes of genius and, of course, failures. The heroes are Dior, Saint Laurent, Kenzo, Sonia Rykiel, Prada, Hermès, and others. Their adventures are presented in an innovative chronological--and logical--order. From haute couture to the boom in ready-to-wear, the clothing industry, creators and designers, we witness the evolution in techniques, the shifting trends in the market, how an art matures and a culture changes. We also discover how the French ventured out of Paris to meet New York, London, Tokyo and Beijing. This book is a must for fashion lovers, professionals, and students who will find a thousand references never before presented. It will also enlighten the curious reader who wishes to go behind the scenes of this most seductive of theaters. You can t ask for a more knowledgeable and entertaining guide to the art and business of fashion than Grumbach, who has long been at the epicenter of the industry. The original edition of his definitive history has been a best-seller in Europe for two decades. The first English edition is thoroughly updated and abundantly illustrated. An extraordinarily in-depth report, it is richly layered with up-close profiles, energetic and expert analysis, and insider tales enlightening and scandalous. Grumbach covers the evolution of haute couture and the knotty regulations that have controlled every aspect of its operations while tracing the careers of such indelible designers as Gabrielle Chanel, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, and Nina Ricci, and onward to Issey Miyake, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, and Sonia Rykiel. He reveals shocking financial struggles and organizational battles and betrayals as outlandish and dramatic as over-the-top fashion shows. Grumbach s dissection of the ready-to-wear world is even more compelling with its cast of intense personalities, cut-throat competition, and audacious practices, including the explosion in branding and licensing. Much of this is channeled through Grumbach s own extensive experiences, beginning with his family s textile company, where he strove to create ready-to-wear that had the same quality manufacturing as haute couture. Grumbach concludes with a shrewd look at today s globalized fashion industry. Just like the best designer clothes, this exposé is both dazzling and enduring. Booklist, starred review Industry veteran Grumbach takes you through the history of fashion in this lavishly illustrated book, from its humble beginnings to today's superstar designers... Fashion fans will be happily caught up in Grumbach's history... Dispersed within this narrative are fun tidbits... Fascinating... undeniably informative book... casual and passionate fashion aficionados alike should both enjoy seeing how the people and industry that determines what we wear has changed over time. Publishers Weekly Grumbach, a popular and indefatigable figure on the Paris fashion scene... is a living encyclopedia about French fashion s creative legacy, and its industrial history... He compiled his experiences and brushes with some of the 20thcentury s most important fashion figures... Couture was always a particular passion for Grumbach, who could often be seen welling up at fashion shows. He championed new high-fashion entrants such as Bouchra Jarrar and Alexis Mabille, as well as stalwarts including Adeline André, viewing couture as a versatile tool, platform and observatory for business and creativity. --Miles Socha, European Editor, Women s Wear DailyAbout the AuthorDidier Grumbach is one of the most discreet, yet powerful and prestigious figures in the world of fashion. In 1966, he co-founded Saint-Laurent Rive Gauche with Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé. Between 1968 and 1973, he worked alongside Hubert de Givenchy in Givenchy Nouvelle Boutique. In 1971, Grumbach created the company Créateurs Industriels, in order to bridge the gap between designers and the industry: in that context, he featured the first shows of designers such as Jean-Paul Gaultier, Issey Miyake and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. He discovered Thierry Mugler's talent very early on, and, in 1978, founded and became the chairman of the company that bears the designer's name. He then served as chairman of Yves Saint Laurent, Inc. In 1985, he joined the staff of the Institut Français de la Mode, where he served as Director of Studies, and then as Dean of the Professorial Staff. In 1998, he was elected chairman of the Fédération Française de la Couture, du Prêt-à-Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode, and of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. His book, Histoires de la Mode, first published in French in 1993, and updated in 2008 and 2014, has been translated into numerous languages, including Chinese, Portuguese and Romanian.

Context: Fashion has not been dormant or slumbering, and certainly not fast asleep, during lockdown. Many designers and creatives have been active in ideas, fund raising, communication and generally keeping busy. However, the loosening of the lockdown rules in several countries has resulted in many more people declaring potentially exciting new plans for the future, ways to engage with consumers and other innovative future facing initiatives. The main fashion organisations of London, Paris, and Italy; Rome Florence Milan, have been busy with many reassurances and actions during the past couple of months. Some of these plans are now coming to fruition, The fashion industry landscape is changing, fashion is thinking, and we are reporting on a cross section of new ideas, concepts and potential innovation routes now starting to appear. Statements being made by many in the creative industries are strong, positive and future forward, but realistic attitudes are still very much in evidence.

    WHAT’S FOR NICOLAS? NEXT PAGE 12 WWDMONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 2012 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY ■ $3.00 Sartorial Satisfaction It’s a truism that a designer should know her customer. L’Wren Scott obviously agrees; she designed all of Mick Jagger’s costumes for the Rolling Stones’ “50 & Counting: The Rolling Stones Live” tour that opened Sunday night in London. Together as a couple for a decade, the two sat for exclusive interviews while WWD photographed a fi tting — their fi rst joint project ever — on Friday at Scott’s studio. Not surprisingly, Jagger voiced fi rm ideas about fashion, particularly about what makes a look stage-worthy. But some readers may be surprised that, in one way at least, he’s just an ordinary guy. “Men aren’t interested in clothes that look amazing but are fantastically uncomfortable to wear,” said Jagger, here in Scott’s zigzagged jacket and matching Stephen Jones fedora. “We’re not into pain. We’re into comfort.” For more on Jagger and Scott, see pages 8 and 9. PHOTO BY TIM JENKINS Bangladesh Fire Stirs Action Calls MORE PROMOTIONS LOOM By KARYN MONGET in Bangladesh.

  • Fashion Weeks in the Time of COVID 19 FBS C19 Issue 11: 17.07.20!
    Fashion Weeks in the Time of COVID 19 FBS C19 Issue 11: 17.07.20! Alexis Mabille There has always been a dichotomy between men’s wear and women’s wear. It is simply that fantasy and flamboyance is not a natural partner with the clothing that men wear. Sportswear, leisurewear, streetwear, and formalwear all serve a specific functionality within a man’s life. Clothes do the same for women but the packaging and narrative of, even a blazer, can be more inventive, and imaginative. Whatever the arguments may be about gender, men predominantly take a practical and facts-based approach to what they wear, women can be more impulsive in clothing purchases and be swayed by fashion, and it’s seasonal packaging. Today with gender blurring it should be that this is diminishing or open for discussion, you’d think? Well in terms of presenting the two collections during the last few days it’s clear that a sparkling narrative and a brilliant film is appropriate to showing women’s couture and a nicely styled Lookbook is the key option for men. There’s also surprisingly little womenswear or gender-neutral clothing featured during the menswear days. Tradition wins over new ideas? The other surprise is that edgy and off the wall/blue sky thinking/ outside the box isn’t where it’s at. The key to most of the offerings was clarity of presenting the clothes and communicating the pieces to the people sitting at home. How many designers and their teams dealt with the current situation was fascinating.
