Résumé : | The story of this change centers on one spectacular evening in November 1973, as told in Robin Givhan’s “The Battle of Versailles.”First, it gave American designers (who had been denigrated for building empires in ready-to-wear) a newfound legitimacy. Glamorous couture would eventually fade in prominence as the market for ready-to-wear ballooned. Second, and more interesting, the battle of Versailles gave the stage to a group of African-American models and to one African-American designer. But on that night, they weren’t African-American models and Burrows’s clothes weren’t African-American designs — they were American models in American clothes. (Note de l'éditeur) |
