Writing with the help of the Worth family, Stephen Clarke is able to correct received wisdoms about Charles' and Marie's early life, their methods and their relationship.
Coincides with the bicentenary of both Charles Worth and Marie Worth née Vernet.
The story in brief:
1845: an impoverished Englishman arrives in Paris. Jobless and speaking almost no French, Charles Worth has recently completed an apprenticeship as a fabric salesman in London. After a year of sweeping floors, he gets a job
at a chic Parisian fabric shop, where he meets a salesgirl, Marie Vernet, also newly qualified.
The ambitions of this lower-class Anglo-French couple arouse fierce jealousies in snobbish Paris, but together they will lay the foundations of the modern fashion industry:
- Charles invents himself as France's first male fashion designer and dictator of style.
- Marie becomes the first full-time fashion model, on the first-ever Parisian catwalk.
- They create the first must-have designer label in history, worn by the 19th century's most glamorous women.
