	The earliest fashion events were nothing like the modern notion of a runway show.   They were called "Viewings", a concept invented by Charles Worth in 1860.
	 
	 
	 
	They were gatherings of invited guests in small prestige venues.   Garments, worn by his wife, were presented to the guests and described in detail.
	 
	 
	 
	Later, as the popularity of his viewings grew, Worth was the first to employ models to present fashion wear.
	 
	 
	 
	Very soon, purchasing his hand-made (and expensive) fashion wear became a matter of competition among the guests.
	 
	 
	 
	...this is the inspiration for our concept
