FASHION INDUSTRY BROADCAST Masters of Fashion - Vol 31 Americans In spite of the 200+ years of clothing production evolution in the US, and several challenges posed by outsourcing for cheaper labour supplies, New York has remained America's fashion capital. Much like the fashion regions that would later develop around production in Italy, within New York an entire community of design, production, distribution, commerce and marketing existed. Skilled workers of Jewish and Italian descent, the giant retailers and department stores, the publishers, the advertising agencies, the design offices, the bohemian trend setting arts scene, the model agencies, and the factories all combined to form an eco-system that has managed to create a lasting American footprint on the world's fashion walk of fame, giving us fashion titans such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford.

Amongst other things American fashion has come to represent a number of things in the minds of many, Comfort/Casual, Sportswear & Jeans, Practicality/Utility, Sophisticated-Preppy, Value for Money, Clean Lines/Ethnically Neutral. Like the American Bar, American fashion is now a style saught around the world. The American clothing industry was born in the early 1800s for menswear. Up until this point, menswear was produced by tailors, for those whom could afford it, and womenswear was made at home for by amateur sowers. In the late 19th century, the concentration of transportation systems, manufacturing facilities, immigrant workers and skilled tailors in New York allowed for the rapid development of a concentrated production region. In fact, New York had already become the capital of ready-to-wear production by 1900, but by 1925, 78% of the fashion produced in Manhattan was in womenswear. World War 2 went further to isolate the Parisian fashion capital from the rest of the world, accelerating the idea of American sportswear and encouraging the isolationist attitude of the fashionable American woman, who increasingly viewed European fashion with suspicion rather than envy. By the mid-20th century, New York had become the fashion focus of the American woman, and the starkly functional and smart product style would remain the legacy of US fashion, as it is around the world today.

Masters of Fashion Vol 33 Italians THE DYNASTIES OF ITALIAN FASHION. In the 1960's scores of international Jet set dress buyers and status seekers flocked to Rome, as much for the couture designs of Valentino and Roberto Carpucci as for the search of La Dolce Vita. The jeweled island of Capri was their playground. Florence was famous for leathergoods and gold, and it didn't hurt Florentine fortunes that Pucci and Ferragamo were Jet set must haves. In the 1970's fashion heralded the arrival of ready-to-wear and the demand for practical masculine styled clothing that women could wear to work and Milan rose to power as Italy's fashion epicenter. In the last century, Italian movies, which have had a great influence on Hollywood, showed what sensual style meant to Italians through famous images of Sophia Loren and later, Monica Belluci in movies like Malena. The look was well tailored, respectable, and sensual at the same time. To these iconic images have been added the style statements of the likes of Prada, Pucci, Gucci, Versace and Valentino, who have taken Italian style in an entirely different, over-the-top direction. -Armani -Prada -Missoni -Elsa Schiaparelli -Valentino -Versace Fashion Industry Broadcast's "MASTERS OF FASHION" is an 12 title series: Masters of Fashion - Vol 31 Americans Masters of Fashion - Vol 32 Americans Masters of Fashion - Vol 33 Italians Masters of Fashion - Vol 34 Italians Masters of Fashion - Vol 35 Heels Part 1 Masters of Fashion - Vol 35 Heels Part 2 Masters of Fashion - Vol 36 Bags Masters of Fashion - Vol 37 Paris Part 1 Masters of Fashion - Vol 38 Paris Part 2 Masters of Fashion - Vol 39 Renegades Masters of Fashion - Vol 40 Lingerie Masters of Fashion - Vol 41 Music in Fashion Fashion Industry Broadcast is the number one destination on the web for the latest in fashion, style, music, creative arts, creative media, models, celebrity biographies and much more.
