Doucet
US.20190412.011 · Entidade coletiva · 1818-1928

Doucet was founded around 1818 as a purveyor of lace and lingerie and existed as a family enterprise until 1871, when Jacques Doucet converted the business into a couture house. The house’s creations often incorporated the fine laces, for which Doucet was already known, as well as bead and featherwork. Some of the era’s most famous women including the actress Réjane and the celebrated courtesan Liane de Pougy were Doucet patrons.

As an individual, Jacque cultivated the persona of connoisseur: an oenophile, gourmand and important collector of eighteenth century and modern art. His air of aficionado made a strong impression on a young Paul Poiret, who entered the employ of Doucet in 1897, as would another soon-to-be luminary of twentieth century fashion, Madeleine Vionnet, in 1907. By the 1920s however, the house’s relevance was on the decline, and following Jacque’s death, Doucet merged with Dœuillet to become Dœuillet-Doucet in 1928.

US.20200321.018 · Entidade coletiva · 1837-

The firm Tiffany & Young was founded in New York on 21 September 1837 by Charles Louis Tiffany and his partner John B. Young (1802–52) as a small fancy goods and stationery store. Tiffany proved to be a gifted entrepreneur with an impeccable sense of style; he catered to newly rich clients unsure of their tastes by offering rare and exotic imported goods, and the business thrived. In 1841, with a third partner, John L. Ellis, the company added fine European silver, porcelain, crystal glassware, personal and desk-top accessories, and later jewelry, Swiss watches, and bronze statuary to its stock. As a champion of American craftsmanship and materials, Tiffany established his own jewelry-making workshop in 1848 and subsequently became one of the greatest merchant-jewelers in the USA; the firm produced such pieces of individually crafted jewelry as the ‘Chrysanthemum’ brooch.

In 1851 Tiffany brought the silver manufacturer John Chandler Moore into the firm, and under Moore’s direction the company rose to dominate the domestic silver market. By 1853 the firm was known as Tiffany & Co. In 1850 Tiffany opened a branch in Paris; at the Expositions Universelles of 1867 and 1878 in Paris the firm was awarded medals, the first to be given to an American silver-maker. Moore’s son, the silver designer Edward Chandler Moore (1827–91), also joined the company; in 1871 he created the celebrated ‘Audubon’ flatware, with its modeled and cast design of birds, which continued to be produced during the 1990s, and later such pieces as the opulent enameled silver and inlaid ‘Magnolia’ vase (c1892–3; New York, Met.).

By 1900 Tiffany & Co. included among its clients 23 royal families, including that of Queen Victoria, as well as celebrities, millionaires, and successive US presidents. A notable presentation item was the Adams Vase, designed by Paulding Farnham (1893–5; see United States of America, §IX, 1, (v)). Louis Comfort Tiffany inherited the business on the death of his father in 1902. Tiffany’s also produced some of the most important trophies in the USA, including the silver August Belmont Memorial Cup with festoons of oak leaves and models of Belmont racehorses (1926). In 1932 a store was opened in London, which flourished until World War II. From the mid-1950s the firm was revitalized under the president Walter Hoving (1897–1989) and the design director Van Day Truex. Such prominent European jewelry designers as Jean Schlumberger (1907–87) and Elsa Peretti (b 1940) joined the company, and new stores were opened in major cities in the USA, Europe (including another store in London), and Japan. In 1979 Truex was succeeded by the artist/designer John Loring (b 1939), who introduced work by such designers as Paloma Picasso (b 1949) and Frank Gehry, and revived some classic Tiffany designs.

Burberry (Firm)
US.20220414.010 · Entidade coletiva · 1856-

A former draper’s apprentice, Thomas Burberry opened his first shop in Basingstoke in 1856 at only 21 years old. Focussing on developing outdoor attire, by 1870 the business was well established.

Introducing the fabric gabardine, a hardwearing, water resistant, breathable fabric in 1888, Burberry took out a patent for improved materials and was creating waterproof garments by the turn of the century. In 1891 Burberry expanded, opening a shop in London.

In 1901 the Equestrian Knight Logo was developed and added to the clothes designed for the new leisured classes, sportswear and raincoat. In 1911 Burberry dressed Roald Amundsen, the first man to reach the South Pole, and Ernest Shackleton who led an expedition to cross Antartica.

In 1914 the War Office commissioned Burberry to adapt the officer’s coat to better suit the war conditions which resulted in the trench coat. After the war the style of the trench coat became popular, and in 1924 the famous Burberry check was designed and used as a lining for the trench.

In 1955 Burberry was taken over by Great Universal stores. The following decade the Burberry check print became hugely popular. During the seventies the brand became a casual cult style with the British, leading to the 1990’s popularisation with the football and ‘chav’ social groups.

In 1997 under influence of Rose Marie Bravo, newly appointed worldwide chief executive of Burberry, a restyle of Burberrys image started with help from a Mario Testino advertising campaign and the flagship store in London being beautifully revamped. The following February Roberto Menichette was appointed as creative director until Christopher Bailey took his place in 2001
