British born Charles Frederick Worth was the first, Parisian couturier. He opened his atelier at 7 rue de la Paix, and in the following decades, the house of Worth, was the king of fashion. Royalty, aristocracy, celebrities, and international women of style would patiently wait months for Worth to create their dresses for balls, dances, society events, and coming out parties, even though the house had 1200 employees at one time. The Worth dynasty lasted four generations with his sons successfully running the business after their father’s death in 1895.
The new, in-depth exhibition, Worth, The Birth of Haute Couture, has over 400 items including 80 dresses and gowns, paintings of women dressed in Worth gowns, accessories, and objects.
