Stripes
A huge fashion statement.
We use them all the time.
Skirts,dresses,t-shirts...
But do you really know how a simple stripe became a huge thing in fashion world?
Let's see!
The fist person who wore a striped outfit was Albert Edward a four years old
son of
Queen Victoria who dressed him in a sailor suit to board the Royal Yacht.
Before that it was only prisoners, clowns, prostitutes, hangmen and all the condemned that wore the striped garment as the pattern was seen as being evil. A French cobbler was sent to death only because he had been caught in striped clothes!
But let's see the real inspiration which the stripes fashion began.
Who could have a unique fashion eye?
Of course Coco Chanel .
In the beginning of the 20th century Mademoiselle Coco Chanel took a trip to the French Rivera. When she arrived there, she saw the workers in the marina wearing their knit navy and white striped shirts. Not surprisingly the inspiration for a new nautical collection was born. The always influential Coco Chanel beloved the stripes’ minimalism. Right after the visit to the French Riviera she knew she wanted to take the bold stripes mainstream and started selling them in France at her Deauville shop in 1917.
From then to now stripes still exist and i dont think
they will ever dissapear.
That was for today!
Hope you learned something see you soon!
