The French fashion designer Paul Poiret (1879 – 1944) started his career as an umbrella maker. There, as a teenager he collected scraps of silk left over from the cutting of umbrella patterns, and fashioned clothes. Poiret sold his sketches to Madeleine Cheruit, a prominent dressmaker at that time, who purchased a dozen from him and continued to sell his drawings to Parisian couture houses, until he was hired by Jacques Doucet in 1896. Poiret opend his own house in 1903 and invented the controversial kimono coat. He also devised the first outfit which women could put on without the help of a maid.

Since the 19^th century, clothing has been primarily divided into day wear and evening wear, categories governed by specific dress codes. In general, longer sleeves and higher necklines were meant for the day. Shorter sleeves and lower necklines were considered appropriate for the evening. These rules remained in force throughout the 19^th century and even beyond.

While the rise of capitalism and democracy men’s fashion become more sober, but women’s clothing continued to be decorative. The making and selling of clothes changed dramatically ever the course of the 19^th century, as traditional crafts gave way, on one hand to rise of read-made clothing and on the other hand to the development of the haute couture.

Fashion magazines, patterns and department stores made stylish clothing available to an ever-expanding population of costumes. Paris was the capital of women’s fashion, as London was of men’s.
