This review is from: Lucien Lelong (Hardcover)
Amazing information about Lucien, who studied with him and under him, his enormous contribution to the haute couture world during WW2. I couldn't put the book down. If you like fashion, you have to get it! He is one of the founding fathers that inspires our newest designers, albeit unknowingly!

This review is from: Lucien Lelong (Hardcover)
Without Lucien Lelong, there probably wouldn't be a French couture industry today. It was thanks to his efforts that, during World War II, the French fashion designers and their ateliers, along with all their workers, were able to remain in Paris instead of being shipped to Germany, and that they were able to have the materials with which to continue working; and the great Christian Dior basically got his start working for Lelong. Mr. Lelong was a notable designer in his own right, and this book collects numerous examples of his best outfits from the 1920's through the 1940's, many of which adumbrate the New Look of the postwar era. Before Dior, Lelong was the dominant force in French fashion, and if you want to understand how haute couture developed, studying his career is indispensible. Strongest recommendation for couture history students.
