[@whatadollslife]

@@insertnamehere917 about 1966,for here in the US..my Mom around that time would also get dressed up in heels and dresses to go play weekly bridge with her friends, women were just beginning to look to working outside of home full time,but "homemaker" was still thought of as an occupation. Women were driving the fashion styles for everyone in the family daily , before that no child or teen thought about buying their own clothing ,and probably not many men haha ..women's lib, pop music , influenced society ..Men would buy cars and get jobs,decide where to live, women would decide most of the other things ..Grandparents would always be dressed up in those days ,hats always

I am so glad to run across this video remembering Marc Bohan. He was a very gracious man and great designer that should be honored. I worked with him in 1986-87 as I was hired by Dior to design the first Dior 2 Collections produced by the Italian manufacturer of designer brands GFT. It was when Mr. Arnault first came to the company and was also the 40th year anniversary of The New Look.

[@arnoldephraums1207]

Bohan also had great success with his hommage to Dr Zivago collection, which featured fox edged wool sleeveless tunics with Bermuda length pants and tall boots. You are right when you said he was a client designer that was his job to make money for the house. One interesting thing, he was a great fan of Yohji Yamamoto and only wore Yohji men's collections to work every day apart from official engagements or presentations when he wore a traditional saville row tailored suit. He also loved the work of Romeo Gigli and thought it poetic and inspiring in its volumes.

[@bringiton5282]

Marc Bohan is one of the least talked about designers at Dior but he survived the longest. It took around 10 years for Christian Dior to create a legend, YSL pushed it forward too much; he was one of those designers that worked best under his own label, Marc Bohan made sure to solidify Dior's commercial succes by adapting it to the changing times after failing to succeed with his own label, Gianfranco Ferré brought his dramatic Italian flair but apparently never made a real profit, Galliano renewed with the spirit of Christian Dior while making the brand contemporary, Raf streamlined everything, even himself and Maria Grazia is doing something along the lines of Marc Bohan. She might be here to stay for quite a while. She's Italian like Ferré but she brings in the money.

It is so awesome to hear you speak on fashion. You seem so young yet your encyclopedia of knowledge of real fashion history is the real thing! You, i predict, will some day be working as a professor at one of the top design schools or a design director of the Met! It is fantastic that you share all of your knowledge hopefully teaching the history of high fashion over the 20th and 21st centuries to many new generations that may have never had the chance to so easily learn. You seem unbiased yet have a distinct point of view. Point of view of high quality and design. It is like you have lived for 100 years studying the trends and players of our fashion history. And the best part... It is so easy to see that it is your true passion for fashion and fashion history that drives you. You are helping fashion be understood and remembered. As they say in fashion... nothing is new. Well, you help us see where and when that is true. I am probably 20 years older than you and have studied fashion most of my life and i have to say it is so impressive to hear you speak. keep up the great fashion work!

[@robina.9402]

I love the deep dives into fashion history! You made a comment about appropriation in fashion being at least 50 years old, and I thought that would be a really interesting topic.

Will you ever make a video about Galliano at Dior?

[@djm4854]

The French word 'hyménée,' while translating as 'nuptial bond,' actually does have an etymological connection to the hymen. It's because marriage was socially constructed as a contract with a prospective virgin, who was pure and untainted. It roots itself in a very misogynistic approach to what a bride (and a woman) should be in order to be redeemed as proper and respectable. The word also signifies a patriarchal stronghold, both in use of language and the imprisonment of female genitalia to his rightful bond---through the wedding night and marriage as a whole.

[@najatm]

I feel like Marc was the most underrated designer maybe because he was so commercial.

[@Melbnolan]

IMO Marc never received the credit he is due. He was a talented and elegant designer in the vein of Givenchy. He was there fir the launch of the original Eau Sauvage.

[@SH-wk6po]

[@foxycinnamon7307]

At the time I wasn't sure why Bohan was let go - I just loved his creations, and thought Ferre was another world, interesting & talented, but not up to Dior's level. I did come to appreciate what he brought to the label, but they definitely should have let Marc bow out gracefully. Oh well, that's show biz.

[@arnoldephraums1207]

Beatrice Bongibault had been hired by Arnault- from Chanel I think -to run Dior and like all new heads of a business she wanted to make an impact and had Bohan fired and replaced by Ferre.
