    I might understand that during those days a designer would use the term fat as an insult, but apparently Mr Bowles believed a fat or overweight person cannot have "presence" enough to wear a gown... what a lovely chap

  • @tommoncrieff1154
    @tommoncrieff1154 4 года назад +1

    Charles James was English- born, not American. He went to Harrow with Evelyn Waugh and Cecil Beaton and was expelled for a homosexual escapade, whatever that means! I don't think if he'd grown up in America his designs would have been so formal or structured. His father was at Sandhurst and his family in high society and without that background he likely wouldn't have had that same sense of social rank and class.

    Very interesting. I have seen his dresses in exhibits and although they are beautiful in many respects, I am not sure why we should admire such stiff construction after decades of progress towards ease, softness and the natural body. But Halston, a designer of some of the most fluid clothing of our time, was a great fan of James's so there must be some link to explain the paradox. Hamish, could you elaborate?

    • @nycp1969
      @nycp1969 10 лет назад

      ***** Yes, I read in a Halston biography that the collaboration ended poorly. Two big tempers I bet.

    • @nycp1969
      @nycp1969 10 лет назад

      ***** I really find the color sense remarkable but I still struggle to admire the silhouettes and construction, meticulous as they were. I am not a fan of 50s fashions, especially Dior. I'll try to find the article you mentioned. Thank you.

    Women come in all shapes and sizes, including 'fat frumps'. Doesn't take much skill to make a beautiful woman look good, you could put a bin bag on them and they would still look incredible. Obviously he couldn't design for real women.

    • @Veronensis
      @Veronensis 7 лет назад +6

      I think (or hope) he was laughing at the designer, Charles James. What he said was that this designer was an appalling businessman, because he didn't want to design for the bigger woman. I interpreted the laugh as laughing at that ridiculous action. anyway, I agree with you that bigger women should be more respected, and less shamed, bij the fashion industry.
