OCHRE IN FASHION

The major ingredient of this ancient natural colour is iron oxide-hydroxide, known as limonite, which gives it its yellow colour. The hue belongs to a family of earth pigments, it ranges in colour from yellow to deep orange or brown. Ochre is a family of earth pigments, which includes yellow ochre, red ochre, purple ochre, sienna, and umber. From the Red Indians to the Romans, to modern day trendsetters, Ochre has enduring appeal. Ochre was used in decorative palette of the Romans, as well as Medieval Church painters. The Aboriginals have painted with Ochres for over 40 000 years and the Red Indians took their name from the Red Ochre they painted themselves with.

WHEN IT WAS JEAN CACHAREL

In 1962 Jean Bousquet, in Nîmes, founded the company Jean Cacharel. Cacharel is named after the local name of the garganey (Anas querquedula, a small duck) in the Camargue.
Jean Bousquet was the son of a sewing machine salesman; he was immersed in the world of clothes making since childhood. He trained to be a tailor at a technical college and worked for two years as a designer before returning to Paris to found his own fashion house in Le Marais. The success of his first collection inspired him to create Cacharel.
The first successful recognition thanks to the famous blouse made in a pink crepe photographed by Peter Knapp for the cover of Elle magazine. The iconic blouse. Once called "Le Cacharel", allowed the brand to enter the history of fashion for its emblematic design characteristic of the years 1960 and 1970. Cacharel designs are characteristic for their youthful style, femininity, lightness, refinement and use of bright colours. Over the years Cacharel had a tremendous impact on the fashion industry. They led the Liberty blouse boom into the 1970s. Cacharel designers have included legends like Agnès B, Azzedine Alaïa, Corinne Cobson, the Clements Ribeiro and more.

 Nel 1962 Jean Bousquet, a Nîmes, fonda l'azienda Jean Cacharel. Cacharel prende il nome da un uccello della Camargue (Anas querquedula, una piccola anatra).
Jean Bousquet era il figlio di un venditore di macchine da cucire; era immerso nel mondo di vestiti  fin dall'infanzia. Studia per diventare sarto in un istituto tecnico e  lavora per due anni come designer prima di tornare a Parigi per fondare una propria casa di moda a Le Marais. Il successo della sua prima collezione lo ispira per creare la sua linea Cacharel.
I primi  riconoscimenti li ottiene grazie alla famosa camicetta di crepe rosa fotografata da Peter Knapp per la copertina della rivista Elle. La camicia diventa iconica.Bastava il nome di "Le Cacharel", per indicare una specifica blusa e ciò ha permesso al marchio di entrare nella storia della moda per la sua caratteristica di design iconico degli anni 1960 e 1970.
