A Brief History of Designer Clothing

The advent of designer clothes occurred in the 19th century, when machine manufacturing was first becoming popular. Designers of many items, from ceramics to clothes, would label their products to assure consumers that they were receiving high-quality goods. In the 1860s, Charles Worth became the first clothing designer to place a label inside his clothes.

Since then, the world of designer clothing has blossomed into a thriving industry. People seek out designer brands because they want to be sure that they are purchasing items of the best available quality—items that embody the ideals of style that drive the fashion world forward.

Give your designer items the treatment they deserve by buying accessories to complement them. A gorgeous but simple Tory Burch dress might need a chunky necklace and a pair of statement earrings in order to reach its full potential. That stunning jacket could be begging you to buy a Gucci handbag.

Caring for Designer Clothing

To make designer clothing worth the investment, you must take care of it. Many top-notch items are made from luxurious fabrics that require special attention. A cashmere dress may need to be dry-cleaned for it to maintain its shape and softness. Don't forget to oil that leather jacket so it doesn't dry out, and be sure to care for your favorite silk dress as if it were your baby. For care instructions, check the labels on your clothes. If you still have questions, you can look for expert advice on the internet.
