MARTINE SITBON Martine Sitbon was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1951. Her mother was Italian and her father French. She and her family moved to Paris in 1961, when she was 10 years old. In 1974, after studying at the Studio Bercot in Paris, Sitbon traveled extensively for 7 years, through Hong Kong, Mexico and India, but returned to France. Her early fashion education was gained in the second-hand markets of London and Paris. She set up her own house and showed her first collection in 1985. She paraded bloomers, pastel-coloured cloth coats and monk hoods down the runway. She was encouraged and assisted by her husband Marc Ascoli. He now designs the boutiques and showrooms of many of the leading designers in Paris. Fond of contrasts, Sitbon is a modernist whose clothes nonetheless have a sense of history. Her long jackets and riding coats are rigorously cut, with narrow shoulders and softened waistlines. She also likes to design long skirts and trousers with a controlled flare at the lower leg. She joined the French house of CHLOE in 1987 and in 1988 she created her first collection for CHLOE. She had continued designing for her own label also. In 1991, she left them. She joined Byblos in 1998 and designed for them for four years, before leaving in June 2002.

MAGGY ROUFF Maggy Rouff was born in Paris in 1896. Her initial ambition was to be a doctor, but her upbringing led her into fashion design. Her parents were the founding directors of the house of DRECOLL and it was there that Maggy began her design career. When Drecoll merged with the house of Beer, Maggy decided to strike out on her own. She was newly married to Pierre Besancon de Wagner and she established her husband as financial director. She opened her own house in 1928 on the Champs Elysees, with immediate success. She loved draped, bowed and puffed clothes.. She was known for her lingerie and daywear. She created wearable fashions in the haute couture tradition, though she achieved considerable success with her ready-to-wear lines. She designed beautiful evening wear but was also known for her sportswear. Jaunty and fresh, her sharply tailored clothing was advertised in the late 20's as a "peep into the future". Many of her day clothes were made of crepe romain or wool crepe, and featured collars made of shawls or scarves. She loved shirring, attached scarves, bias flounces and ruffles. Monograms were often embroidered on her jacket pockets right up until the 50's. In 1937 she set up her salon in London. The gown on the left is from 1939. The horizontal gathering at the bodice is generated by a Grecian style harness made of lame ribbon, gathered like a sash. This photograph by

NINA RICCI Website: www.nina-ricci.fr Maria Nielli was born in Turin, Italy, in 1883 and her family moved to Florence when she was five years old. Subsequently, her family moved to France in 1895 when she was 12 years old. At the age of 13, she was apprenticed to a dressmaker and by 18 had become the head of the salon and by 22 it's chief designer. In 1904 she married a jeweler named Luigi Ricci and they had a son named Robert in 1905. In 1908 Nina joined the house of Raffin as a designer and remained there for 20 years. In 1932, at the age of 50, Madame Ricci decided to open her own house, and she and her son set up the House of Ricci. There Madame Ricci created the garments and Robert ran the business. It grew rapidly throughout the 30's till it occupied 11 floors in 3 buildings, all on the same street as their original one-room maison de couture. Working directly with the fabric on a mannequin, Nina Ricci created elegant, sophisticated clothes in classic style. She was noted for her high standard of workmanship and became a popular designer for older society women. She was skilled at making the most of a print, cutting a plaid for an evening dress on the bias, echoing the X-cross in the skirt pattern in the surplice, crossed-over treatment of the bodice. One daring dress in 1937 had a halter neck open between the breasts from neck to waist. Day and evening dresses alike drew attention to the figure, by being fitted to below the waist and featuring much shirring and drapery.

99. History Of Fashion Designer Lars Nilsson Career profile offered for the current creative director at Nina Ricci. http://www.designerhistory.com/historyofashion/nilsson.html

Lars Nilsson Lars Nilsson was born in 1967 in Sweden. He spent two years studying at Virginska Skolan, a fashion school in Stockholm. He then went to Paris and spent one year at the Chambre Syndicale fashion college for Haute Couture. His first internship was at Chanel where he worked under Monsieur Paquito. From Chanel, he moved to Christian Lacroix, where he remained for 9 years. In 1996, he worked for a few months at Pierre Balmain, before working for John Galliano at Dior. In 1999 Nilsson moved to New York and joined Ralph Lauren, but he much preferred the type of clothes made by Bill Blass whom he joined in 2000. When Bill Blass retired the same year, Lars Nilsson became the house designer. He also brought with him his good friend right from college days, Herve Pierre. Lars had only 21 days to prepare his first Bill Blass collection, but pulled together a solid blockbuster 27 pieces, which were greeted with applause and relief by the ladies who have always supported the house. The venue was intimate, the Blass showroom, instead of the Bryant Park tents where New York collections are usually shown. The lilac, double-faced silk-satin trench worn over paprika silk-velvet pants, shown in the picture here, was one of Nilsson's favourites. There was a great shock in store, 24 hours after he had successfully presented his Bill Blass Fall 2003 collection in New York, he was fired by the Blass CEO along with his team of 6. His collection had been based on New York architecture, and had been acclaimed. It is not known why the house of Blass fired him and he was very shocked. Click on
