Who was Zhanna Tambin, the very first star of the French Haute Couture?

A scandal in Paris, in 1900, one week before the opening of the universal exhibition. It should not be the statue of LA Parisienne on top of the monumental door of the De La Concorde. The city’s allegory has traditionally dressed in an ancient tone, or sculptor Paul Morou-Waste asked to wear Jeanne Tsanne Tshane to six meters. We can imagine fifty million visitors who are expected for more than two hundred days, with a golden bra with a trained coat made of furrows.

Too many modern opinion

This Parisyan is very modern for opinion. It is located in the efficiency of “Midinettes”, these neat tailors in the confectionery industry. The capital has eighty thousand. The press is a stir, not Jeanne Tamba. The new Queen of Haute Couture is 31 years old, and the store in RUE DE LA PAIX is already dressed all elegant. Its success exceeds France’s borders, head office is being transferred to London. Because Zhanna feels trends, she is fashionable. He brought his husband’s small shop at the peak, Isidore Hakob View Grandpa developing a luxurious woman’s clothing at reasonable prices. Before competitors like Paul Poirett, Zhanna softens the ways of his dresses to make them comfortable.

In the 1910’s, Jean Grandpa was innovated, creating clothes near the spirit of our tailors, quite calm about the day, but fair enough for the evening. Now dinner is meaningless. What time does it save for active women from the beginning of this XX^simmer Century

Modern bosses

Even if Jean Pope and his husband strive to be a modern boss, we once said “fatherly”. Also their midwives, like all textile workers, went on strike in 1917.

Minister Jean Malwan, fearing the weapons of weapons factories, follow their steps, threatens to improve the bosses so that they do not give up the requirements of trade unions. Zhanna Pachin accepts all the requirements of her daughters. Griffe, a symbol of luxury, modernity and elegance, will remain flourishing up his retirement, international recognition is now forgotten.
