Sheer Elegance
Who was that designer of classic chic?
I once saw a documentary of a ladies’ high fashion designer – whose name, for the life of me, I can’t remember, but whose work I really liked.
I would like to find out who he is/was.
I think he would have been born ~1920. He retired/held his last show either in 200X.
I think he was Italian, may have possibly have been French.
I know that doesn’t narrow it down a great deal, but what seemed to be his signature was the sheer elegance of his evening gowns that excentuated feminine curves with taste. His range may have been limited, he certainly didn’t seem to be particularly shocking or necessarily innovative, but he obviously excelled in the focus of his work on classic figure hugging long dresses.
A description along the lines of “the master of making a woman feel like a lady” comes to mind.
Any ideas who I am thinking of.
probably more along the lines of Givenchy.
the “chic” style was origionally started by King Louis XIV in the late 17th century. i can’t think of who else might have influenced more chic, maybe Elsa Schiaparelli? or Charles Fredrick Worth, Paul Iribe, Georges Lepape, Erté, or George Barbier? I am not quite sure who you are looking for, but i hope I can be of some help.
