Omar the Tent maker. especially at this point in my life!!
Seriously tho, I used to be really conversant in this topic because I got an Associates degree in Fashion Merchandising. That however was 14 years ago at least! and Ive forgotten much of what I used to know.
I do remember that it was a big thing when a woman designer cut all her fabrics on the bias, to allow for better draping.........and there was another old school designer who was known for all his pleating. I never did care for Coco Chanel, but she was a standout because she was one of the few women in the industry...Diane Von Furstenburg (sp?) was known for her surplice wrap styles..
what else??? I find myself liking the looks of a lot of Vera Wang.....dang, I cant think of any others right now...
