<Christian Dior>

1905 France, Normandy. Christian Dior born had family who were rich.

When he was growing, he grew with good and wealthy family. So his memory of youth was enough.

Whatever, when the time had come that he should decide his own future, He wanted to study art, but his parents wanted his future to Politian. But when he studied in school, His father failed his business and his mother got shock from it, and she died because of it. Also his brother was died.

So his childhood time was wealthy, but when he grew up, it was hard time to him.

At that time, his life became sucks. He slept in single room, and he also got lung disease.

Fortunately, his friends saved them. And when he came back to his town, he began to studied ‘art’ what he wanted to study. And from that moment, he became artist. And when he studied about art, he went to Paris, and did assistant from another designers.

And when he debut in Fashion designer when he get old age. But his age did not effect to his talent and passion.

After end of the WW2, women’s wear became like boring. And at that time, Christian Dior launched ‘New Look’ to people. The features of New look is narrow shoulder, and slim waist line, and over stated chest, and hips. It was look of  ‘s line’.

This look is one of the important , and famous look in 20centuries.

John Galliano

He born in 1960, He is from France.

He got his talent from his mother. And he went his university to City and East London, Saint Matins. He took classes from his university with part time job in costume for actor.

After he graduated his school, he made his own brand. But it did not succeed. And the person who is editor in Vogue, Anna wintour(she is the model of editor in The Devil Wears Prada)

And he went Givenchy, and he came to Christian Dior where was almost ‘failed’. And he made ‘his works’, and through that time, that brand became one of the most important and famous brand.

His works were very interesting, and also his works have his own ‘characteristics’.

But he kicked out from Christian Dior. Because when he was drinking at bar, he had comment with abasement to Jews. And that happening recorded by someone, and it go on to youtube.

So he is not Designer in Christian Dior anymore. He will not return to Christian Dior, But I hope that when he cured his ‘drunk problem’, return to fashion world.

History of Hermes

<Thierry Hermès>

He is the founder of ‘Hermes’.

For now, Hermes is one of the famous brand with Chanel and Louisvuitton.

When Thierry Hermès made Hermes, it was not brand of ‘Fashion’. It was a brand of selling harness things. And when he made that stuffs, he always made with good leathers and made with strong.

 But right after the WW2, Family of Hermes worried that when the cars were coming out, people were not finding the harness things, only few. So that the family decided to remain their jobs to make for people who are rich, So it was the beginning of Hermes and how did they change their major job to fashion. Emile Hermes is a grandson of Thierry, and actually he made Hermes to more major in Fashion.

Here is the store of Hermes in Paris. When he built store in Paris, it was 1880.

That store located in Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Still here is exist with one of the symbol of Paris.

<Items of Hermes>

Many women want Item has with practicality and also with look cool. Hermes have both of them so I think it is the reason why that women were getting crazy about Hermes. Obviously Hermes is so expensive and some bag’s reservation is full until 3-4 years, which mean that one women try to get that model, she need to wait 3~4 years. Like this, Hermes is so popular and all the women love these bag. So let’s see that bag what makes women crazy.

 This is a Birkin bag. It was made for Birkin. And here is the story about.

One day, Jean Louis Dumas Hermes take plane with Jane Birhin who were the singer in France and they talked about ‘dream bag’, and Birkin said that she want more bigger bag that portative. And Jean took that complaining to make ‘Birkin Bag’

It was so simple but has charisma and not only hard, looks like soft also.

This Birkin bag made only about 100 in 1 year, surely by hand made.

Everage cost of this Birkin bag is about 10000000won to one hundred million.

 This bag is also Birkin bag but it has diamond, and cost is one hundred sixty million (160000000won) Victoria Beckham has this bag and also she has lots of Hermes bag I mean, lots of.

This bag is Kelly bag. This bag was made for ‘Grace Kelly’ who was queen of Monaco. Kelly bag is more looks like’ serious’.

For now, designer of Hermes is Christophe Lemaire.

He is creative director for Hermes, and also for Lacoste. When Lacoste almost fall, He made it revive. And Lacoste became famous again.(I have lacoste wallet, its my favorite!)

 Jean Paul Gaultier

He is one of the famous designer through history of Hermes. When we was 18, He send his works to famous designers, and Pierre Cardin found his talent. Cardin scouted him to his assistant.

He had lots of works in Hermes and so he called to one of the important designer of Hermes!

Definition of Modern Fashion

Dictionary describes a word 'Fashion' that area of activity that involves styles of clothing and appearance or style of clothing or a way of behaving that is popular at a particular time.

Both of them are right. But i will describe about first one more.

For now, fashion is one of the important thing through our life. Some people get job from this major, or some others get talented from this subject.

We live in the world where always focus in 'Good Out looking' And naturally, people became focus on 'how to be a good looking people'.

Surely all the women always want to have their 'beauty'. So when the modern fashion started, the fashion was almost belongs to 'women'. But now, some men have fashion talent better than women, and they make better women wear than the women. Also some men have good wearing than some women.

So, for now the fashion is same as men and women, and Fashion is fair with anybody, and we can always enjoy with this FASHION!
