Charles F. Worth

First of, my apologies for not being able to post yesterday, I was really busy doing homework till 12 AM and it was worth hearing today from my teachers lips "very nice" to my sketchbook.

Charles F. Worth was one of my assignments for that class, Fundaments and Fashion History.

Worth was born in England in October 13th, 1826 and died in Paris in March 10th, 1895.

He went to Paris to study the goods, starting off with textiles at a small shop in Paris in 1845, he eventually became the best salesman and opened a small area for only dresses and then became a professional dressmaker. It was then he opened his own firm with a business partner in 1858.

He was an aggressive self-promotion designer, but I'd say the best one of all. He made exquisite dresses for women, it truly is like "almost touching art" (as my teacher said), the details, the fabric, the lining, the design... all of it is so pure. His designs show so much beauty, character, simplicity but all at the same time a one of a kind status.

Just some pictures so you have an idea of what he made.

I'd totally make that black and white dress my wedding dress.

Those where some of the dresses he made throughout his years, and the upcoming photos are from the "Return of the house of Worth", his last collection.
It was published on Vogue UK, I'll post the link for those who are interested in the article and the pictures. You can magnify them for closer details of the fabrics, lining and sewing.
