Lucien Lelong Lucien Lelong (pronounced: [ly.sjɛ̃ lə.lɔ̃]; 11 October 1889 – 11 May 1958) was a French couturier who was prominent from the 1920s to the 1940s. Career[edit] Born in Paris as the son of Arthur Lelong, the owner of a textile shop, he trained at the Hautes Etudes de Commerciales in Paris and opened his fashion house in the late 1910s. Poor health caused the end of his career; Lelong retired in 1952. Lelong did not actually create the garments that bore his label. "He did not design himself, but worked through his designers," wrote Christian Dior, who was a member of the Lelong team from 1941 until 1946, during which time he created the collections in collaboration with Pierre Balmain.[1] "Nevertheless," Dior continued, "in the course of his career as couturier his collections retained a style which was really his own and greatly resembled him." Marriages[edit] Lelong was married three times. His first wife, whom he divorced on 16 July 1927, was Anne-Marie Audoy. Death[edit] References[edit]

Callot Soeurs A Callot Soeurs dress, circa 1915–1920 Callot Soeurs (French pronunciation: ​[kalo sœʁ]) was a fashion design house opened in 1895 at 24, rue Taitbout in Paris, France. It was operated by the four Callot sisters: Marie Callot Gerber, Marthe Callot Bertrand, Regina Callot Tennyson-Chantrell and Joséphine Callot Crimont. The eldest sister, Marie, was trained in dressmaking and they were all taught by their mother, a lacemaker. The sisters began working with antique laces and ribbons to enhance blouses and lingerie. Their success led to an expansion into other clothing and in 1914 they moved to larger premises on the Avenue Matignon. The couturier Madeleine Vionnet was apprenticed at Callot upon her return to Paris. In 1926 the American designer Elizabeth Hawes, while working in Paris, regularly wore Callot Soeurs. In 1988, rights in the Callot label were purchased by the Lummen family known to have relaunched the House of Vionnet in 1995. References[edit] External links[edit]
