Following his footsteps, many other fashion designing enthusiasts started hiring artists with knowledge of clothes and garments.
This was the beginning of a new profession, which was popularly known as a fashion designer. It all began in Paris and the news spread all over the world at the beginning of 20th century. Fashion design, during this period, was mostly about haute couture. Paris invented new designs and outfits and then the world would create the same. This made Paris the ‘fashion capital’.
