'It is only now, with the publication, in Paris, of Dominique Veillons La Mode sous l'Occupation, that we learn how valiantly French womens impulse to express themselves in the clothes they wear adapted itself to their straightened lives, and how narrowly the French fashion industry escaped extinction.' The New Yorker'This rich work (and good read) dedicated to a new subject, will enrich our knowledge of the war-time economy in a significant way.'Jean-Pierre Le Crom, H-France 'Her study is a highly accessible account of the legislative and political restrictions imposed by the Vichy regime on the fashion industry in France, particularly in Paris ... Veillon's study is rich in details of how the occupied population managed not just to clothe themselves but also to make cultural statements through their apparel.'Carole Sweeney, Journal of Romance Studies, Volume 3, Number 2, 2003'Superb history of French fashion under German occupation... Veillon's ma
Before the outbreak of WWII, French fashion represented the very pinnacle of style, and French women the epitome of chic. At home and abroad, couturiers wealthy clients eagerly awaited the latest collections, and design houses throughout the world looked to Paris for inspiration. Unparalleled for glamour and elegance, all things French were noted and emulated - and especially French fashion. One morning in September 1939, into this idyllic world of haute couture and Caf society came the shattering experience of war, followed by the German Occupation. French women, determined not to give way to the inevitable austerities, sought innovation: hats made from blotting paper or newspapers - the latter signalling political allegiances - and blouses made out of parachute silk, often obtained through dubious means. Not only did life go on, but creativity flourished - culottes, which enabled stylish bicycle journeys, became the vogue, and couturiers capitalized on deprivation with wit - dubbing designs Coal and Black Coffee, or naming an entire collection after Mtro stops. Fashion under the Occupation provides the only in-depth history of these blackest years in French history, long overlooked by fashion history because of the impoverished industry and deprivations that affected design. Widely acknowledged as the authoritative work on fashion during this period, it is available in English for the first time and will be essential reading for anyone interested in fashion, French cultural history, and particularly the German Occupation of France.
