100 Years of French Fashion | Glamour

From Coco Chanel's "La Garçonne" boyish French flapper look of the 1920s and Elsa Schiaparelli's 1930s Surrealist looks, to Christian Dior's New Look in the 1950s and André Courrèges' space-age mod fashion, take a look back at the last century of French fashion.

[@louisestruve633]

Me too and this is luxury and historical fashion everybody knows that most French people don't dress like that everyday, the reason perhaps why you haven't seen it may be because you don't care about actual fashion and designers you know

Yes. Le Smoking jacket or suit?

[@nikkigiovanni5723]

Exactly

[@megannwalsh]

Schiaparelli was Italian not French. She was actually the nemesis of Coco Chanel. Compared to Cut’s 100 Years of French Beauty, this isn’t accurate. During the 1930s and 1940s France was affected by WWII, so their style became less luxurious in order to send fabric to the front lines.

[@jakobhopfer1997]

Yeah, Dior's New Look didn't come about until 1947 and was only popularized worldwide in the 50s.

[@palomabrighton9756]

[@hang1iderswing]

This isn't supposed to be about what regular people wore like the Cut's versions, it's about popular designers in French high fashion sphere.

[@mariasofia4995]

[@a.c.7573]

@@natbug8237 well they should know, if you are making a video on fashion history, you should know what to include and how to look for references

[@alessiabordi3085]

the crab look was not even French, Elsa Schiaparelli was an Italian designer and btw no-one wore dresses like that unless for photos or paintings.

[@carolinesa91]

I don't think this was accurate. First, that cloche in the 1920s looked more like british guards hat than a cloche. Second, the New Look came after the war, in the 50s it became popular. Third, the stripes were introduced by Chanel in the 20s, not in the 50s. Fourth, you didn't mention the Chanel suit in the 60s, that influenced a lot of celebrities that time, such as Jackie O. Fifth, you also didn't mention Saint Laurent famous androgynous look in the 70s, with the female smoking/tuxedo. Sixth, that crab thing in the 30s was ridiculous.

[@Veronensis]

I agree with you on almost all of your points, but technically they were correct by placing the new look in the 1940's, as the fashion show where Dior presented this look for the first time was in 1947 to be exact. But the style only became popular in the 1950's, so I don't think the look represents the 40's well. And the dress they used to represent the new look was quite bad I think. way too short and clearly not worn with the proper undergarments

[@carolinesa91]

Ilse yes, I agree. I don't think that the New Look represents the 40s, since it appeared in the end of the decade and just became popular in the 50s. For the 40s they should've chosen a more simple garment, since during the war the clothes were simple and with less fabric.

[@augustpritchett4521]

I think what they were trying to do with the 30s look was to channel the famous lobster dress that Schiaparelli designed and Dali painted.

[@lightheidi9009]

Great points. I was bothered by the 40’s thing as well.

[@carolinesa91]

August Pritchett yes, but she is not even french. Honestly, I don't think this dress expresses well french style in the 30s.

[@enricodaponte3409]

Je suis désolé, mais étant moi-même costumier ayant étudié, comme il se doit, l'histoire de la mode et du costume (comme tous les gens s'intéressant un temps soit peu de près comme de loin et à la mode), je peux dire que cette soi-disante vidéo retraçant la mode de 1910 à 2010 est du grand n'importe quoi. Ce n'est pourtant pas compliqué de regarder n'importe quels articles, innombrables blogs, documentaires, films d'époque (même avec des anachronismes assumés ou très approximatifs), photos, etc... pour avoir une petite idée de ce que pouvaient porter nos parents et grands-parents. Ce ne sont que clichés caricaturaux qui ne correspondent à rien : Une femme en "1940" avec une robe tulipe à trop ample jupon, se terminant au niveau des genoux, avec bustier bateau et taille très marquée, grande capeline blanche finissant la composition... n'existe pas. Pour la bonne raison que cette femme était en pleine guerre et qu'elle avait autre chose à foutre que "se déguiser" avec vingt ans d'avance ! 😂😂😂 Et même si le New Look est apparu en 1947, ce n'est sûrement pas dans cette dégaine... 🤤

[@mandypandy111ify]

I don't think anyone was, at least not in countries involved in WWII.

[@yvettehall744]

Now the new look was a thing in france, but this is wrong simply because the new look was formed after the war. So this is displaying the entire 1940's frnech fashion.

Tati oulaaaah t’es encore moins cohérente que la vidéo... Pour ces dernières décennies la vidéo fait référence aux tenus portées lors de la fashion week de Paris. La mode c’est pas ce qu’on voit dans tous les coins de rue, mais plutôt les inspirations artistiques venant de véritables professionnels. Donc oui, les dernières décennies évoquées reflètent bien la mode française.

[@camillebourasseau5539]

Wish this would have been more accurate... You can't talk about Fashion in the country of Fashion without some researches ! WTF is this cloche hat shaped like ?? Schiaparelli wasn't only inspired by Dali, they actually worked together, she's italian, not French, and while she is a hudge reference in fashion history today, her style was totally avant-garde and really different at the time, only a few people would wore Schiaparelli's designs so it wasn't the major trend at all. 30's French fashion was for the most part more dull and classic, becaus it was a time of financial crisis, right after WWI, and with WWII starting at the end of the decade. Dior's New look was a big trend but only came out in the late 40's and was really very popular in the early 50's, because during WWII the outifts were really sober and modest, there was a big fabric penury. It was still pretty unusual for a women to wear pants in the 50's. Sure it started to be seen on some movies but most of the 50's, French fashion was all about Dior's New look, and elegant and expensive clothes. After the war, women wanted to feel more feminin and buy dresses made with a lot of fabric. This is a 60's look that was only seen in the magazines, but not that bad bc the big tren was to wear clothes inspired by Courrege, only less futuristics. The 70's was really the decade to introduce women's pants, like with Yves Saint Laurent's famous androgynous suit. Alaia was a very talented designer, but I feel like Thierry Mugler's style sum up the decade better, as it is really representative of the empowerment of the working woman in the 80's. After that this is rich pepole 90's fashion but why not.. For a more casual look, it was either minimalist or sportswear. The 2000 is accurate but kinda boring. The early 2000's were so blingbling ! It was also the decade of the cult of brands and logos.

[@elleelle5847]

[@camillebourasseau5539]

Camille Bourasseau actually even the 2000's wasn't accurate because no woman wore those ugly high waisted skinny jeans until 2013. Also blunt cut bobs weren't a popular haircut either. That whole 2000's look was much more suited for 2010's.
