SUMMARY:House of Worth: Americans in Paris
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Liz Weisblatt\, Curator and Fashion Historian\, to explore how French designer Charles Worth became so popular in America. What made his gowns so appealing? How did the high-end fashion market operate in the nineteenth century? This event includes a rare opportunity to view several Worth gowns in the costume collection of the NSCDA-MA. \nCharles Worth is considered by many to be the father of haute couture\, or high fashion. In the late nineteenth century\, many wealthy American women traveled to Paris to visit and patronize the House of Worth\, where he put on fashion shows and created seasonal collections.
