Fashion in Paris

The Museum of Fashion and Technology of New York has held an exhibition entitled "Paris, Capital of Fashion", which will run for six months from September. On this occasion, the Persian "Euro news" has taken a look at the history of fashion industry in France and discussed it with two fashion historians.

Spanish designer; master of French pioneers
Shortly after the Spanish Civil War began, the famous Spanish designer, Cristobal Balenciaga, had to close down stores in Spain and move to France. He later opened the Masonic Street in Georges Street, Paris.

Balenciaga, who had a knack for crafting and sewing, was a master at many designers, including Ober de Givenchy. Her destructive designs in the women's clothing silhouette inspired many designers of the twentieth century to the point where Christian Dior said of her: "She was the master of us all."
