This year, Shanghai World Expo is the fortieth session. In the long history of World Expo, the most far-reaching significance to the world fashion industry is Paris World Expo, 1900. Latest fashion The centenary love affair with World Expo has been unveiled.

　 Let the world gather again in France

When the time came into 1890, there was a widespread rumor that Germany would invite the world to Berlin to celebrate the end of nineteenth Century. In Paris, some people expressed irony. After that, Paris's application for hosting World Expo in 1900 was approved. In 1892, Minister of industry Jul Roche announced in a general order that he began preparations for the 1900 World Expo of Paris, calling on the French nation to exhibit a picture of human progress in the whole century in the last year of nineteenth Century. He believes that the holding of World Expo can promote France to understand the world. In other words, let the world know France and let France understand the world. This international classical concept has been recognized by all ethnic groups in today's globalization. In 1895, the government's draft law on World Expo had such a statement: French Republic should conclude World Expo in nineteenth Century with dignity and dignity, and it should reflect the spirit of France as a world civilization outpost.

In November 13, 1893, the site was settled in the battle square of Paris. On April 14, 1900, President Emil Loubet of the Third Republic of France cut the ribbon for the opening of World Expo. More than 50 million people visited, while the French population was about 40 million. There were 8300 companies exhibiting, of which 60% were French enterprises.

　　 Advanced custom clothes shine brilliantly.

The formation of modern fashion design at the turn of 19 and twentieth Century was called French Haute couture dress, which first appeared on 1900 in World Expo, Paris. At the turn of the century, a large international exposition was dazzling. In order to display elegant and luxurious men and women's clothing, World Expo set up an exhibition hall at that time. It was called the Pavilion of Ele-gance, which was specially designed for displaying costumes. Among the many clothes displayed in this hall, two designers, Jack Duce (JacquesDoucet) and Charles Voss (CharlesFrederickWorth), who specialize in the design of "advanced custom clothes" were most attractive. Their clothing has a relatively prominent change, although it is still the core of the traditional corset, but its forms are varied, and the details are very unique. It is quite different from the S dress that people are familiar with. Many women who visited the exhibition at that time did not like it very much.

The main customers of Duse and vous are not real upper class women, but famous stage actors. They design costumes and stage costumes for these actresses to attend parties and other formal occasions. They are lavish in design and are decorated with luxury and beauty. They attract people's admiration and admiration in the exhibition. At that time, newspapers and magazines in Paris wrote and praised their costumes. Because of the praise of the media, their clothing design attracted more attention from the society. Because of their design, many foreigners came to see the costumes of Paris in a different way. Some newspapers said that the clothing displayed on this exhibition showed that only Paris is the center of world clothing. Fashion design has become one of the centers of national activities. "Only Paris is the world clothing center" has been proved correct after 100 years of history. I believe the organizers would be proud and pleased if they knew this conclusion.

　　 Far-reaching significance of World Expo, Paris

Although Paris World Expo in 1900 still did not break the shackle of corset, it still played a significant role in promoting the fashion industry. It played a foundation role in the development of fashion. The works of Duse and Vos on the "elegant hall", which influenced the design and consumption levels, were responsible for the organization of the "elegant hall" of the fair. It was directly responsible for the selection of Jeanne Paquin, who was the designer of the show. Jan Pequin had a unique eye. Through her choice, a strong fashion atmosphere in the exhibition was formed, thereby promoting the recognition and interest of the society for fashionable clothes. When she chose to participate in the exhibition, she made decisions from a more popular angle, not only from the traditional considerations of crafts and fabrics, but also made many outstanding and creative designs stand out. Through her careful selection, the clothing exhibited naturally had a strong fashion trend, making World Expo a historical turning point in promoting fashion formation.

　　 Apart from that, parquin also pays great attention to the way to display. For example, she breaks the habit of showing her clothes and fabrics in a simple way, and uses a waxy female model to show clothing, drawnwork lace and silk fabrics. Under this new display method, clothing and fabrics have been well displayed, attracting a large number of ladies to watch. Good design and good display should be matched in order to be popular. Visible, for the visual display of clothing, Paris World Expo in 1900 also opened a historical precedent, and is of great significance.
