From the Archive: French Class (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The story of French ready-to-wear reads like a study-abroad class in fashion, culture and commerce. It was in 1948 when WWD reported that the first group of French stylists and trade manufacturers, with the support of the Compagnie Française du Prêt-à-Porter, had arrived in the U.S. to study American fashion production. In the same year, Christian Dior opened his first Stateside boutique. Yves Saint Laurent would arrive in the 1960s. This exchange and the Paris International Ready-to-Wear Salon
From the Archive: Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’ and Working Girl Style of the 1980s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sept. 25 is recognized as “Dolly Parton Day” — well, at least in some states and the borough of Manhattan. But who doesn’t want to celebrate the legendary singer’s lifelong philanthropy, literacy efforts and sheer irreverence? The day also celebrates Parton’s first movie role, in the 1980 comedy “9 to 5,” and its hit theme song, written by the country music icon.

Read excerpt
Bob Mackie (1939-2026) carved out his own place in fashion, becoming the go-to designer for every rising star across stage and screen, from the late 1960s to the late 1980s. From Carol Burnett to Cher, Tina Turner, Lola Falana, Diana Ross and Elton John, one had to embody a particular level of confidence to saunter and shimmy across the stage and red carpet in one of his iconic, over-the-top beaded concoctions. His naked illusion dresses — the first worn by actress Mitzi Gaynor for a 1969 televi
Kate Moss’ 1990s Runway Debut Changed Fashion’s Beauty Ideal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kate Moss made her runway debut with Calvin Klein in 1992. George Chinsee, then a staff photographer for Women’s Wear Daily, captured her debut season with the American designer during New York’s spring 1993 fashion week. During the 1990s, Klein pushed the boundaries of fashion and visuals, and his iconic collaboration with Moss was no exception. Her ethereal, waif-like demeanor would shift the industry away from the high-glamour supermodel look that defined the era. Moss represented something n
