Charles Frederick Worth was an English fashion designer widely considered the "Father of Haute Couture."His most important achievements:
* Founder of Haute Couture: He established the "House of Worth" in Paris in 1858, which became one of the most prominent fashion houses of the 19th and early 20th centuries. * The first modern fashion designer: He is considered the first person to be called a "fashion designer" in the modern sense, as he created designs and dictated fashion trends to his clients, rather than merely following their requests.
