Paul Poiret's Rise and Ruin | A Fashion Tragedy | Part 2 of 2

In this episode of The Fashion Memoir, we return to Paul Poiret, but this time we're looking beyond the clothes. This is the more researched version of his story, and Part Two goes deeper into the empire he built around his name: the perfume house Rosine, his interior design school Martine, his theatrical work, and the legendary parties that made him as much a showman as a designer. We also look at how that empire unravelled, the debt, the mismanagement, the post-war world that had simply moved on, and what Poiret left behind once the house of cards finally fell. I know I've covered Poiret before, but this version goes further. I've also been finding it harder to carve out time for editing and video production lately, so going forward the videos will be in this format. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support, it genuinely means a lot. For episode notes, sources, and extras, find me on Substack at @thefashionmemoir1. Appreciate your support!
