1. Red sole
The red sole was seen as early as the days of Louis the XIV, but Christian Louboutin really made it his signature in 1992 when he was inspired by an assistant who was painting her nails in a red Chanel polish. He decided to test the same color on lacquer on the bottom of one of his early designs. Et voila! The rosso solini was born.
2. Buttons on men´s and women´s shirts are on a different side
It's an old tradition that began when fancy women used to get dressed with the help of a chambermaid, but men didn't. Seamstresses put the buttons on the side of the garment that facilitates right-handedness. So, self-dressing men had the buttons running along the left side of the shirt while women, who needed help getting dressed, had the buttons running along the right side.
3. Do celebraties get paid to sit front row?
Celebraties are often seen on fashion shows and it is known that their presence doesn't come without a price tag. Stars like Rihanna or Beyoncé can charge £60,000 (approximately $95,000) for their front-row seats.
4. What size were the first models?
The title of first editorial model ever goes to Lisa Fonssagrives, who was 5'7" with a 23-inch waist and a 34-inch bust. Not a huge difference from the 5'6", 24-inch waist, 34-inch bust average of today's models.
