Canadian Fashion Connection – The Association of Canadian Couturiers 1954 – 1968
Posted on June 6, 2013 by Jonathan
When design piracy began to become a problem, organizations that controlled, protected and promoted original fashion design began to appear. The first and most famous of these was Paris’ Chambre syndicale de la couture, which had its roots in the 1870s but was redefined in 1911 with a more vigilant mandate and membership requirements. By the early 1940s similar organizations had been created in Spain and in the U.S. for New York’s Seventh Avenue high end manufacturers.
