A Year that Can Never Be Omitted when Discussing Fashion – A Special Exhibition on '1997' Is Being Held in Paris
The number '1997' is special. Why? Because around the year 1997, various events that became key to the trends we casually consume today took place. '1997 Fashion Big Bang,' currently held at the Paris City Fashion Museum last year, was a special exhibition that re-emphasizes the importance of 1997 in fashion history.
Firstly, the Spring/Summer 1997 season was a turning point in the fashion industry. John Galliano, who was at Givenchy, took over from Gianfranco Ferré as designer for Christian Dior, completely refreshing the image of Dior.
Meanwhile, Alexander McQueen, at just 27 years old, was appointed designer at Givenchy, capturing global attention with his originality.
Jean Paul Gaultier launched his first haute couture collection, and Comme des Garçons presented 'Body Meets Dress, Dress Meets Body,' known as the 'bump dress'.
Furthermore, 1997 was also a year of sudden sorrow. Gianni Versace was shot dead at his mansion in Miami Beach, Florida, and Princess Diana died in a car accident in Paris, speeding away from the paparazzi.
