Fashion: Shop Vintage Clothing, Haute Couture and More

Fashion is littered with stories we can’t help but consume with voracity. Behind the world’s revered luxury houses and designers, there are often accounts of modest beginnings that gave way to the resonant work we’ve cherished all of our lives.

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel learned to sew under the tutelage of nuns in an orphanage. Later, as an impoverished teenager at a boarding school in central France, clad in the drab clothes of the underclass compared to those of her classmates, she furthered her needlework skills. By the early 1900s, she was helming a hat shop with help from her sister and her aunt.

Chanel made spare, unadorned hats at first, and the now-momentous “little black dress,” published in the form of a sketch in Vogue in 1926, symbolized her intention to design for all social classes. Working with simple lines and ordinary fabrics, Chanel created garments that she hoped would encourage women to leave extravagant clothes behind. The young milliner would soon become pivotal to the evolution of both covetable casual wear and handmade high-fashion apparel, building a brand that has influenced countless designers all over the world.

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only,” Chanel said. “Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

Around the same time, a young former hotel bellboy named Guccio Gucci began to sell imported leather luggage from a small retail space in his native Florence, and it wouldn’t be long before he was overseeing a number of artisans who were making leather goods and other accessories. With the help of his sons, he opened a second shop in Rome and later launched his handbags, wallets and more.

There are people like Chanel and Gucci, sometimes of meager means, working in near obscurity to create lasting and innovative garments and accessories that today fill the interiors of our favorite boutiques and, ultimately, the closets of our home.

There are family-owned luxury-goods companies, such as Hermès in Paris, which began as a saddle manufacturer in the 1800s, serving the era’s carriage trade before it would expand to include venerable handbags as well as its numerous silk scarves, each emblazoned with a richly decorative design.

For many of us, the narratives behind the ornate monograms that adorn these iconic works are just as important as the items themselves.

Haute couture from the House of Chanel — practical, form-fitting evening dresses and menswear made of fine tweeds — has a long lineage, but now it’s earned a legitimate place in museums as often as it has in the homes of modern marquee influencers. Vintage Yves Saint Laurent leather clutches and handbags couldn’t have aged better over time, either. The French luxury fashion label’s long history of vibrant, gender-blurring designs, including the revolutionary Mondrian minidress in 1965, owe to the creative inclinations of a young Yves, who made paper dolls as a child and designed dresses for the women in his family by the time he was a teenager.

The appeal of vintage and designer clothing — whether it’s nostalgia for ’80s fashion treasures like oversize blazers or the bright and elaborate patterns that characterize sundresses of the 1960s — endures, and our appetite for irreplaceable garments as well as their riveting origin stories won’t recede anytime soon. An authentic handbag or purse from Hermès isn’t merely durable and alluring. The Birkin, for example, is hand-sewn according to Hermès’s centuries-old saddle-stitching technique, comes in a variety of exotic leathers and is also a savvy investment.

“The Birkin’s value has consistently risen and never fluctuated downward,” says Reece Morgan, head of handbags and accessories for Xupes, citing the fact that “production has been highly limited to maintain its unattainable aura.” In fact, he adds, Hermès has been “scaling back production each year.”

Today, we’re captivated by the work of prodigious Illinois-born talent Virgil Abloh, who not only triumphed in the fashion world with his Milan-based streetwear label Off-White, but was also a visual artist, a furniture designer and more. In 2018, Abloh, who learned about fashion from his seamstress mother, became one of the first Black designers to head a French luxury fashion house, having secured an artistic director role at Louis Vuitton.

“His clothing turns wearers into accomplices of his grand artistic scheme,” Michael Darling, the chief curator at Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, wrote of Abloh’s work.

On 1stDibs, you can revel in the stories behind the fashion we love and browse everything from classic, one-of-a-kind gowns crafted by Parisian couturiers to stylish, modern streetwear designed by forward-looking brands. Shop 19th-century Louis Vuitton trunks or kaleidoscopic and colorful 1960s skirts by Emilio Pucci or edgy ensembles by visionary designers like Azzedine Alaïa.

    Madeleine Vionnet created two innovations that would revolutionize women's fashion. The first is the bias cut, the practice of cutting fabric at a 45-degree angle to its grain to enhance its stretch and allow it to flow more freely. In addition, Vionnet pioneered new draping methods, reducing the number of seams and fastening needed to produce a dress. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of vintage apparel and accessories.

    The difference between heritage and vintage is that one term relates to a specific timeframe, while the other does not. Vintage is the term for any item that is more than 20 years old but less than 100 years old. Heritage refers to something that has historical or cultural value. When discussing fashion, people sometimes call pieces that have a long history heritage pieces, whether the brand manufactured them recently or 80 years ago. Find a diverse assortment of vintage apparel and accessories.

    Paris is called the fashion capital of the world for two main reasons. First, the city is home to Paris Fashion Week, a semiannual series of fashion shows organized by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. The event dates back to 1973, when the inaugural fashion week took place. The second reason is that several luxury fashion houses have their headquarters in Paris. Among them are Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Saint Laurent, Hermès, Balmain, Givenchy and Chloe. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of apparel, bags, shoes and accessories.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    The first fashion designer was Charles Frederick Worth. Born in England in 1825, Worth apprenticed for textile merchants and relocated to Paris. There, after gaining experience in sales, the British tailor opened a dressmaking department for a large French company before he started a workshop of tailors and seamstresses who produced his early designs for the Parisian elite. Worth was an innovator and an influencer of his day. While his achievements, which include helping pioneer modern couture, are of great historical significance, they shouldn’t overshadow those of important early women in fashion such as Marie Callot Gerber and Jeanne Paquin. After all, fashion takes a village. On 1stDibs, shop a range of historical, vintage and contemporary apparel and accessories.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    The difference between high fashion and haute couture comes down to official recognition. For its pieces to be legally called haute couture, a fashion house must meet the standards set forth by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris, which publishes a list of haute couture labels every year. High fashion is a general term for pieces designed and tailored to order that sell at aspirational price points. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of apparel and accessories.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Fashion designers create apparel, bags, shoes and accessories. Their work begins with sketches that show how the pieces will look. After they make illustrations, they produce patterns and select the fabrics and other materials that will go into producing the finished items. Designers also help to oversee the manufacturing process to ensure that garments and accessories reflect their visions. Shop a large collection of apparel, shoes, bags and accessories on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    What vintage-style clothing is called varies. Vintage-style clothing is the term for apparel that draws inspiration from pieces produced 20 years ago or more. Some people refer to it as retro or retro-influenced clothing. Because it was manufactured more recently than authentic vintage clothing, clothing that is vintage style is classified as contemporary. Shop a wide range of vintage apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

    The difference between a dress designer and a fashion designer is what these design professionals create. A dress designer is someone who specifically creates custom dresses.
