Answer:
Fashion icons are a great influence for those that want to pursue a career in the fashion industry. Charles Fredrick Worth is considered the father of houte couture and if it wasnt for him i don't think coutriers would be able to do what they have done because Charles "opened" the gates so the world can see that designing isn't just a hobby but a way of life. To be able to look back and see what has been done it can allow one to produce what will be next.
