Hey hey folks. So how's been the week for y'all? As for us here at StyleArchivezw, we olwaiz busy tryna bring it to u guys the way you want it.
So this past week as I was doing some reading (as olwaiz), I came up with some of the most interesting fashion facts that, to be honest intrigued me. Who knew that the term 'Retro' refers to clothing items only made to replicate a vintage pattern or style of a different period? Yes I knoe, m now in the light as well. So let's get enlightened abt the history of our so beloved fashion.
# The four major international fashion shows take place in the following order, first in New York then London then Milan and lastly Paris. These cities hold a show twice in a year that is in February and in September. If you call yoself a fashion lover, you should be knowing this already.
# False eye lashes were first invented in a film called INTOLERANCE in 1916.They were made using human hair woven thru fine gauze. Amazing right!!!
# Coco Chanel (goddess of Fashion) was the first to launch which is now the modern era of perfume in 1921 with her exotic floral blend, Chanel No. 5
# The first issue of Vogue, aka fashion Bible we first published on 17 December 1892 in the USA. I honestly believe this date shud be made a holiday *winks
# A "Grabalogist" is a person who loves collecting ties. Mmmmmhm
# Christian Louboutin shoes were once available with baby blue soles to enable something blue for bride-to-be but was very short lived due to trademark issues. I'm still failing to picture Loubies with blue soles!
# Alexander McQueen (British designer) committed suicide on Feb 11,2010 just days after his mother's death. It's really been 5yrs!
# One bail of cotton weighing under 500pounds can make 215 pairs of jeans. Someone pliz get me one!
# Men didn't wear underwear until the 17th century. Can only wonder how they survived
So that was all I could share with you fashion folks. I'm glad I could share my enlightenment
