  • Chapter 1 1850-1890: the Dawn of Modern Clothing
    Chapter 1 1850-1890: The Dawn of Modern Clothing This Teacher’s Guide, compiled with the assistance of Stephanie Kramer, is designed to provide you with a summary of the key points in the development of fashion during the period/decade covered in this chapter. It also provides a concise survey of the significant designers of the time, essay and discussion questions, and further reading and research suggestions.

  • VA14 Couture
    Couture Dresses for princesses Christian Dior’s New Look seemed to symbolise the arrival of a brave new fashion world when it hit the catwalk in 1947. But as the V&A’s new blockbuster reveals, couture’s post-war golden age marked the last blast of an old aristocratic order before the fashion revolution of the 1960s. Suzy Menkes reports Left: Pierre Balmain, early 1950s, white silk organza, feathers and rhinestones. Right: Cristobal Balenciaga, c.1955, scarlet silk and silk taffeta.

Facing page: coats by Molyneux and Hardy Amies, worn by Barbara Goalen and Wenda Parkinson (née Rogerson), 1948 © Norman Parkinson Archive, London The dress is Red Riding Hood scarlet, its gleaming satin skirt spreading under an elongated jacket. It speaks of glamour and dash, of history and haute elegance. And who could have believed that this Christian Dior gown was made while Paris was still licking the wounds of war? Or that the magisterial ensemble had been fished out of a damp cellar seeping with water from the River Seine? Zémire, the V&A’s historic Dior find from 1954, is the star of ‘The Golden Age of Couture’. But the new exhibition has a subtext: ‘Paris and London 1947-1957’. In its sober tweed suits, its twirling, wasp-waist dresses and its substantial, sculpted undergarments, it is designed to get under the skin of those clothes whose firm silhouettes identified the post-war period – on both sides of the channel.

  • Master Cases
    CORPORATE BRAND MANAGEMENT AND REPUTATION MASTER CASES The Russian Roulette of The Fashion Industry The Case of Balmain By: Sarah Jane Featherstone Soh-Pih Mariette Nikolai Anna Zonina First Edition Student Case Papers 2018 Corporate Brand Management and Reputation: Master’s Cases The “Corporate Brand Management and Reputation: Master’s cases” is a case series for applying the case method of teaching and learning in higher education. The cases are relevant to brand strategists in private and public sector organizations, as well as academics and students at universities, business schools, and executive education. The cases are written by groups of master’s students as a course project. The specially developed case format is defined as: “A management decision case describes a real business situation leading up to a question(s) that requires assessment, analysis, and a decision reached by discussion in class. The alternative approaches and recommendations from the class discussion are followed by a description of the choices made by the case company. This description is then discussed by the class.” The student groups select the topics of their case providing updated and relevant insights into the corporate brand management. The cases can be used as “written cases” (handed out and read in advance, later to be discussed in class) and/or as “live case” (presented by the teacher following a discussion in class). Each case includes teaching notes, visuals with speaker’s notes, learning objectives, board plans, and references. The mission of the series is “to develop cases for discussion providing insights into the theory and practice of corporate brand management and reputation, with the intent of bridging the gap between academic teaching and managerial practice.” The series is a result of co-creation between students and teachers at the elective course Corporate Brand Management (BUSN35 – five-credit course/eight-week half-time studies), part of the master’s program International Marketing and Brand Management at Lund School of Economics and Management, Sweden.

  • Balmain and I the COLLECTION
    balmain and i THE COLLECTION CATARINA DE ROQUE BOUÇOS´ PIERRE!BALMAIN 1914 - 1982 Pierre Balmain (born 1914 in St Jean de Maurienne, a small alpine village in the Savoie region of France) is a member of the elite group of visionary designers that guided French fashion to its renaissance after World War II. After briefly studying architecture (to appease his mother) Balmain began his career in fashion as an assistant to master Parisian couturier Lucien Lelong, working alongside fellow greats Christian Dior and Hubert de Givenchy. He left Lelong to establish his own house in the autumn of 1945. Balmain’s signature “Jolie Madame” style offered a startling contrast to the relaxed and utilitarian looks of the day – and its immediate popularity made clear that French women were eager to free themselves from the remaining vestiges of wartime hardship and embrace Balmain’s boldly feminine and opulent offering. “Jolie Madame” quickly became a favorite style of both European and Hollywood royalty. The world’s greatest actresses turned to Pierre Balmain to design their cocktail dresses, evening gowns and wedding dresses. Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Brigitte Bardot, Josephine Baker, Katherine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich and Sophia Loren were some of the many stars drawn to Balmain’s richly embroidered fabrics, nipped-in waists and longer, fuller skirts. THE HOUSE 1982 - TODAY Unlike some couture houses that have turned their back on what they once were, Balmain has always proudly remained true to the vision and trailblazing spirit of its founder. Since Pierre Balmain’s death in 1982, the house has been guided by a series of strong designers, each balancing modern offerings with the need to respect the foundations and traditions of the house.

  • In 1947, Normandy-Born Christian Dior Opened His Own Fashion Company After Working for Top Designers Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong
    House of Dior In 1947, Normandy-born CHRISTIAN DIOR opened his own fashion company after working for top designers Robert Piguet and Lucien Lelong. Dior’s talent and creativity changed the direction of mid-twentieth century fashion. His “New Look” (named by then Editor-in-Chief of Harper’s Bazaar Carmel Snow) elevated Dior to the status of one of the most famous designers in fashion history. The “New Look” presented a full bosom atop a narrow waistline from which flared full skirts with hemlines at the wearer’s calves. Dior’s “New Look” silhouette, even today, remains popular. Dior’s designers attracted a wide range of clients from Hollywood stars to European royalty. With Dior’s death in 1957, his assistant Yves Saint Laurent was named principal designer. In 1960, Saint Laurent was replaced by Marc Bohan who was principal designer until 1989. From 1989 through 1997, Gianfranco Ferré was chief designer. John Galliano took over in 1997, with his first collection shown on the 50th anniversary of the label. Galliano established the look of the “Anything Goes” era with his extreme makeover of the house. Bill Gaytten, Galliano’s right-hand man, was named Artistic Director of Haute Couture for the House of Dior in 2011. House of Balmain The Balmain name evokes a unique concept of elegance, a clientele of royalty and film stars, and a fashion hallmark recognized throughout the world. PIERRE BALMAIN was renowned for his philosophy that fashion brought forth the architecture of movement. Born in 1914, Balmain studied to be an architect, though he never finished his studies.
