PEOPLE WHO CHANGED FASHION
Coco Chanel was a French fashion designer who changed fashion for women. She started making
glamorous hats in her aparment. Then a famous actress wore Chanel’s hats in a play, and suddenly many
women wanted her hats. So Chanel started a business and opened a hat store in 1913. In the early 1900s,
women used to wear uncomfortable skirts, but Chanel wanted to be comfortable. She often wore men’s
1
pants, jackets, and ties. She started making comfortable and fashionable clothing for women. She made
pants and women’s suits that were comfortable and trendy, and she began selling them in her store. By
1919, she opened a larger store and was famous in France and other parts of the world. She changed
women’s clothing, and she inspired other designers.
Levis Strauss had a clothing store in California in the 1870s. His store sold work clothes for men. At
that time, working men wore pants that ripped or tore a lot. Strauss worked together with the tailor Jacob
Davis to make better pants that were strong and that a man could wear for a long time. They made the
pants with a heavy cloth called jean. People started to call the denim pants jeans. Jeans used to be for
work, but they became trendy in the 1950s when teenagers started wearing them. Now many people
wear them, even when they aren’t working.
Richard Blackwell was an American designer who wrote about fashion. In 1960, he wrote a”Ten
Worst-Dressed Women” list in a magazine. People didn’t use to talk badly about famous people’s
clothes, but Blackwell wrote about actresses who wore clothes that he thought were ugly or weird.

actresses are wearing these days. There are also many websites that have “Worst-Dressed” lists about
celebrities.
