Charles James was America's first couturier. I don't know too much about him but he sounds like an interesting man. I came across these images of his patterns and thought they were pretty cool in their own right- especially the red paper pattern for a jacket.
ooo these are pretty cool. you don't think about clothes starting out this way when you're wearing them! :) xx
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible! Love!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so super cool Becca! It all has to start somewhere!
ReplyDeleteCharles James still looks relevant and amazing. Check out FIT's design museum...they have several pieces always on display.
ReplyDeletethese are such a good find! I love the hand scribbled notations and markings...a peak in to fashion history.
