My new project is to create a fashion magazine. I am doing it with a friend and she doesn't do research and it kind of bugs me. I did a ton a research on Oscar de la Renta, Channel,and Dior. Did you know that Oscar de la Renta's real name is Oscar Aritides Renta Fiallo and he was born in the Dominican Republic (his mother is Dominican and his father Puerto Rican). When he was 18, he moved to Spain and in 2001 he started a collection.
I bet there is a lot more to Gabrielle Bonheur (founder to Coco Channel) then you think there is. She redefined fashion by making elegant suites and dresses instead or corsets. Coco Channel came through in 1910 and created Channel No.5. Now the company is run by Karl Lagerfeld.
Dior was founded by Christian Dior in 1946. He was known for the beautiful silhouettes he created on women. Then sad news came to the fashion world when he died at a health spa.
