Royalty sets the fashion in motion, was what was believed till centuries. People followed and imitated the kings and the queens. That was the only sense of fashion in those times. Fashion history witnessed its infusion through its pioneer, Paul Poiret. He was the one who dressed the elite class in Paris. Then came the era of fragrances, hats and female designer clothes. Jeane Lanvin catered to these and was the name that echoed in the ending of the eighteenth century. Then came the dawn of the nineteenth century which led to setting up of fashion design house in Paris, and the common masses were given the option to get for something that was not inspired by royalty but that suited their taste. Charles Frederick Worth, the father of fashion designing was the one who set up this Fashion house.
