Jacques Fath

Jacques Fath

Jacques Fath (1912-1954) had a short but blossoming career in the fashion industry. Faths exaggerated frocks also dominated postwar haute couture. Jacques was a self taught designer which had built his knowledge and skills through fashion books and exhibitions. He was born with a talent and had a sharp eye in his field. Like other designers Faths career was too interrupted by the outbreak of World War II and after a short imprisonment Fath was back doing what he does best. Faths designs spoke glamour , he dared to experiment with his colour palette and used asymmetrical drapery along with diagonal lines to achieve a different body of movement in his work. His sexy and wearable glamour appealed to many audiences which lead him to create his own low cost American line along side his couture collections.
