You might be wondering what this site is all about. It’s really very simple. I love fashion, but more to the point, I love the history of many of the design houses that had their start 100 years ago or more. I love their stories of struggle and ultimately their success. Their stories fascinate me and when researching the articles on this site, I come across a lot of information that I had no idea about. This site is a hobby for me but I will endeavour to post as many articles each week as I possibly can so please be patient with me.

I hope you enjoy these stories of some of the most successful designers and fashion houses in the world today as much as I enjoy writing them.
