Another American in fashion designing was Bill Blass, born on June 22, 1922; he ruled the fashion world up to June 12 2002.Bill was known for his extra ordinary tailoring talent and combination of texture of fabrics and patterns. Bill received plenty of awards in the fashion industry. In 1999, Bill also received Life Achievement Award.
Began his fashion designer career in 1946, joining joining Maurice Rentner Ltd.Bill was highly creative and produced expensive but the most beautiful fashion apparels. Bill’s fashion apparels stand apart in the crowd because of his innovative combination of patterns and textures. Bill produced his own label and bought the company and renamed it as Bill Blass Ltd.
Somehow his early life was not that happy and pleasant. His father worked as a salesman of hardware committed suicide when bliss was five years old. Bliss’s mother died in 1952. Bliss had one sister.
Bliss once admitted that all his school books were filled with Hollywood stars and their fashion clothes. Unknowingly he was dragged into fashion and style world. At the age of fifteen, Bliss started sewing, and selling evening gowns. He saved money and then joined fashion design course at Manhattan. Bill was cut out for the fashion and style industry, so he excelled and won Design for Living award. Bliss was so fashion conscious; he spent his salary on clothing, shoes, and elegant meals.
Bliss joined army in 1942, he met so many artists, writers and sound engineers. We can say he that learnt the hard truth of life here.
