Through investigation of the elements of performance art, as well as its functions and characteristics, this study intends to determine how modern haute couture fashion shows relate to performance art and can operate under the definition of performance art. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee––James Slowiak, Sandra Stansbery Buckland and Lisa Lazar for their time during the completion of this thesis. It is something that could not have been accomplished without your help. A special thank you to my loving family and friends for their constant support

  • 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.

Dawn of Modern Fashion The Kyoto Costume Institutes 2002 publi - cation of fashions from the 18 th through the Daniel James Cole 20 th Centuries includes a short, partially accurate biography Redfern but with erro - neous life dates that would have him opening his business around the age of 5. Recent scholarship creates a different pic - ture of both Worth and Redfern. Pivotal to the history of clothing, Redfern’s story is only recently being rediscovered, and only in the past few years has a proper explo - ration and assessment begun (primarily by the work of Susan North). North (2008) puts forward the thesis that in the late 19 th century, Redfern and Sons was of equal importance to the House of Worth. It is even possible to assert that Redfern, and his legacy, were actually of greater importance as shapers of 20 th Century styles.

  • Unravelling the Thread: Checking the Attribution of a Velvet Train to Charles Frederick Worth
    36 OPEN SOURCE LANGUAGE VERSION > CATALÀ Unravelling the thread: checking the attribution of a velvet train to Charles Frederick Worth by Marc Plata Puig, Textil Museum and Documentation Centre (CDMT) The collections of the Terrassa Textile Museum and Documentation Centre comprise a great variety of pieces from all over the world, from all strata of society, and from cultures dating back to the first century CE. Among this diversity, one feature common to most of the pieces is that they are anonymous; we have no means of knowing who made them. In the case of dress and costume we tend to have more information about their creators, as most of them date from the 1880s onwards. One example is the piece that I made the subject of my final degree project: a splendid burgundy-coloured velvet train attributed to Charles Frederick Worth (rec. no. 15396). In my project, I tried to justify this attribution on the basis of evidence from two different sources: the fabrics used to make the piece, and the historical documentation consulted. I first came into contact with this velvet train during the time I spent with the Museum’s restoration service, as part of my degree course. In July 2015 the train was taken out of storage and was sent directly to the restoration workshops to be prepared for display at the exhibition entitled Xavier Gosé (1876-1915) held at the National Art Museum of Catalonia. I was immediately struck by this piece, not just because of its majestic beauty but because of its attribution to Charles Frederick Worth, the first great exponent of haute couture.

  • Training the Eye, Fashion Design and Fashion History As an Argument For
    Journal of Modern Education Review, ISSN 2155-7993, USA September 2018, Volume 8, No. 9, pp. 645–653 Doi: 10.15341/jmer(2155-7993)/09.08.2018/001 Academic Star Publishing Company, 2018 http://www.academicstar.us Training the Eye, Fashion Design and Fashion History as an Argument for Women’s Emancipation Lopes Maria Teresa Ypiranga (Núcleo de Design da UFPE – CAA) Abstract: This article consists in the discussion of the “training the eye” process of design students, taking the relationship between history and sociology as a crop for the examination of the female emancipation analysis based on the dressing relation. For that reason, the investigation works inside the fashion field and through the significance analysis of the works of four modern designers: Charles Frederick Worth, Paul Poiret, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent. Key words: training the eye, female appearance, visual discourse 1. Introduction This article aims at introducing a discussion in the field of study that seeks tot identify the “eye training” (M. T. Lopes, 2014) of haute couture1 modern fashion designers — Worth, Poiret, Dior and Saint Laurent (YSL) — as a historical and social process of shifting the identity/image of the female figure through historical times, when woman remained as triggers of style2. This argumentation was possible by virtue of the concept ‘training the eye” (Lopes, 2014) and due to the fact that this concept is of great importance when studying fashion content, since still nowadays the aforementioned female aesthetic prevails. Subsequently, in order to substantially legitimize our study, the arguments of this article came from an exploration of the significance of the theoretical universe of the course “History and Aesthetics of Stylists”3 — (HEE in Portuguese), offered to undergraduate major students of Design at the Federal University of Pernambuco — Agreste Academic Center4 (UFPE — CAA).

  • The Dressmakers of France
    The Dressmakers of France Editor’s Note: The following article appeared in the August 1932 issue of Fortune magazine (published by Time, Inc.). The author of the article was not named. The article is reprinted here in its entirety. The skirt and coat shown here are by Paul Poiret. The ensemble is owned by the Beverley Birks Couture Collection. When Mrs. Adrian Koburg pays $35 for an afternoon frock marked “Copy of Chanel” instead of paying Macy’s regular $22.70 for an afternoon frock marked “Macy”, she is paying tribute to an art. Which she realizes. And she is also paying tribute to an industry. Which she may not realize. The art is obvious. Any woman recognizes it. Any woman knows that there is genius in such and such a hang of the silk and mere doltishness in such and such another. But the industry is obscure. Indeed the industry exists by virtue of obscurity. For the industry is an industry of ideas. If paintings sold --- and really sold --- and sold to the great world instead of to the dealers, there would be an industry of painting. And it would be run like the industry of haute couture which produces the frocks sold in original and in copy to Mrs. Koburg and her likes. That is to say, there would be great maisons of painting. And each maison would have --- as its priceless goods, as its chief stock in trade and its sole and only capital --- a famous painter. Who would be treated (or who, if he owned the establishment, would treat himself) in some such way as this: he would be paid an enormous salary, he would be lodged in a chic hotel on the edge of the Bois, he would be surrounded with adulation and flattery, he would be permitted the whims of Caligula and the vices of Nero.
