Fashion Icons: blogging our way onto the catwalk

 

The Wood Agency was called upon to be the reporter-at-large for Fashion Icons: Masterpieces from the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.

 

We took great delight in blogging about 90 emblematic haute couture garments created by some of the world’s leading fashion designers.

 

We examined the evolution of fashion styles through the decades to reveal modern fashion’s incredible and fascinating journey.

 

We took our readers on a journey through time in Parisian style, beginning in 1947 when the couturier Christian Dior relaunched haute couture with his New Look. Our followers saw fashion design blossom, with the lavish splendour of the 1950s, the futurist dynamism of the 1960s, the inspired emancipation of the 1970s, the unbridled excess of the 1980s, and the pure minimalism of the 1990s.
