- Haussmann and the House of Fashion
- Abstract
- From the House of Worth to the Houses of Dior and Chanel, the notion of the ‘house’ in fashion – both physically and symbolically – can be described as a metabolic system that builds upon Haussmann’s plan for Paris to transcend the unit of the house into a constituent of an extensive urban, social and economic fabric. This contribution explores the early twentieth-century Parisian domesticcum-fashion house, a type that has disintegrated today with the decentralisation of the fashion industry supply chain.
