French Fashion Design

The fashion industry made a beeline to France under the tutelage of such designers as Dior, Balmain, Fath and Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent and Andre Courreges. The early French designs belonged to the classic style, which were later substituted by the more experimental style, and still later by the street style that focused more on the young consumers.

Under designers, Pierre Cardin and Courreges, space age designs were extensively made, wherein pieces in silver or black and white were mixed and matched. Moreover, there were pop art dresses with stripes and also trendy trouser suits. French fashion designers get their inspiration from a various different aspects such as nature and paintings.

The French fashion designs also include less wearable chiffon tops. Besides, there are high skirts in white and silver, with geometric shapes. One of the unique styles is that of wearing PVC boots and helmets with the skirts. The French ethnic designs are influenced more by the ancient Egyptians and are characterized by outfits made from sequined bands, which are tied together by transparent silk.
