Part 1:Paul Poiret was born on April 20, 1879 in Paris, France. His contributions to 20th century fashion earned him the title of "king of fashion" in the eyes of many people, because he established the principle of modern dress and created the model for the modern fashion industry. Poiret's designs and ideas paved the way for modern design history. He was born into a working-class family and his natural charisma eventually earned him entry into some of the most exclusive workshops of the Belle Époque. Jacques Doucet, one of the most prominent couturiers in the capital, hired him after seeing promising sketches that he had sold to other couturiers. Additionally, he was hired by the House of Worth and put to work creating simple items that were less glamorous and more practical, as his out-of-the-ordinary designs were not welcomed with open arms by an opulent clientele. Despite this experience, he was still confident in his ideas and ventured out on his own with money borrowed from his parents and opened a shop. Additionally, he wanted to promote the concept of a “total lifestyle.” He was considered the first couturier to merge fashion and interior design. Her independent work broke the normal conventions of tailoring and overturned its underlying assumptions. He freed the woman's body from the petticoat and corset to allow the clothing to follow the woman's natural form. Poiret also radically revolutionized tailoring from emphasizing tailoring skills to those based on draping skills and began using bright colors. the art deco movement, which was surrounded by a period of immense social upheaval, particularly for women, and the emergence of technology...... middle of paper ...... ideas are visible on the catwalks today for over a century after his designs radically entered the fashion scene, Poiret experimented with new elements of style and design using bright colors, draped fabrics, patterns wide and oriental-inspired patterns. I believe his designs were important because of his motivation to experiment with out-of-the-ordinary radical design motifs. His designs exemplify many of the characteristics of the early Art Deco movement through the use of rich colors, lavish ornamentation, and emerging cultural shifts. Although he left the fashion scene after the First World War, I believe that most of the designers who followed him were inspired by his creative and imaginative approach to design. Poiret paved the way for modern fashion and gave women the opportunity to comfortably adopt a self-confident way of thinking..
