During that period, Sonia also met Robert Delaunay, who would become her husband and co-founder of an art movement known as Orphism, and characterized by strong colors and geometric shapes. In the French capital, she learned from the works of Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rousseau, Matisse, and many others. In 1905, Sonia moved to Paris where she found herself in the epicenter of the European art scene at the time. She was encouraged by her teachers to leave Russia and attend the Acadamy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe in Germany. There, she enjoyed the perks of the Russian upper class and she had the privilege of traveling around Europe, visiting the museums and galleries, and learning about art. In early childhood, Sonya moved to St Petersburg to live with her wealthy uncle and his family. Sonia Delaunay was an artist, designer, and a key figure in the Parisian avant-garde movement, born in Ukraine on 13th November 1885. Unfortunately, Poiret wasn’t able to adapt his designs to new trends and social streams after World War I, so that marked the end of his successful career. He enjoyed continued success in the first two decades of the 20th century. Hobble skirt, harem pants and lampshade tunic were some of his most popular designs. In particular, he stopped using corsets in his designs and introduced new silhouettes and colors inspired by his travels to the Middle East. Still, he has become best recognized for his innovative fashion design. He aligned fashion with interior design while he was also designing fragrances and cosmetic products and that made him a pioneer designer promoting the concept of a total lifestyle. He traveled around Europe, America, Russia, and Middle East with his models to present his new designs. He enjoyed success very fast, mainly because of his great marketing ideas. After graduating high school, Poiret started working as an apprentice with an umbrella manufacturer, then became an assistant designer for one of the most famous design houses at the time, until his creativity and entrepreneurship brought him to start a design house on his own. As a son of a clothing merchant, Poiret grew up in a house filled with art and design objects. Fashion designer and master couturier Paul Poiret was born in Paris on 20th April 1879.
