About this work
A label with the woven signature of Charles Frederick Worth is sewn into this shoulder cap. Worth was the first to attach his name to garments as a guarantee of quality: his brand. He was also the first tailor to call himself a couturier and to grant this name for fashion designer official status. His son continued the fashion house.
