Paul Poeiret Influences

Paul Poiret, the dreamer fashion designer, created a colorful, dreamful costume in the history of fashion. He freed the traditional form of women’s dress— the Victorian style dress that can eventually kill women by bounding up the chest and waist; He created a new form of women clothes. Two significant forms that he designed is the harlem pants and hobble skirt. The color choice that Poiret used on his design was basically influenced by the early 20th century artist of the cubism, fauvism or impressionism. Thus, his designs tended to be in great colors, geometry forms and special shapes. Also, Poiret was influenced by oriental art and cultural, so that’s why he created a new sense in fashion world, that is to combine the eastern culture, and

break the old fashion and stereotypes. At first, his works were not appreciated by people; however, his innovations and the influenced of orient culture had brought him up to the top.
