Thank you for helping us all remembering her!
Thank you❤️
Selling what used to be called occassionwear at what would today be $600-$4000 was definitely relatively affordable. And yet they had the awesome look of couture gowns of the time that practically no woman could afford. Can certainly see why she was such a popular designer of the day and wonderful to learn about her.
Yes)))it was so expensive…..

She sold at Bergdorf Goodman. She was THAT good.

Just spectacular! Fashion has not evolved since the 1950's, it has regressed! Ladies in those gowns look like they have been expensively gift wrapped.

Thanks!
what designers inspired her? which ones did she choose to take ideas from?
Hi❤️
Chapman was influenced by French couture designers such as Christian Dior, especially with the introduction of the "New Look" in 1947, which emphasized a feminine silhouette with cinched waists and full skirts…Additionally, her designs often reflected the romantic styles of earlier fashion icons, blending classic elegance with contemporary trends….
❤️
Thanks 🌷
