"Ready-to-wear collections are not custom made and are standard sized, which makes them more suitable for larger productions. Ready-to- wear collections consist of a normally represent a certain theme or perspective and to make a fashion statement. They are branded and sold in stores for the mass public marketplace. One of the first designers following this mode was Elsa Schiaparelli. Born in Rome Italy in 1890, she studied philosophy and then moved to the United States and worked as a film scriptwriter.
"In 1920, Schiaparelli went to Paris and designed and wore a black sweater knitted with a white bow. An American store saw this design and asked for an order, and her ready-to-wear business took off with hundreds of knitters producing the fashions. Schiaparelli's designs were innovative and very popular with their use of bright colors, often pink, and her imaginative use of conventional fabrics, zippers and very unusual hats and shoes."

From the Paper
"Although Richard Wagner?s operas Lohengrin and Parsifal were written more than thirty years apart, they share many similar themes. Both dramas are intensely religious, although Wagner spent most of his adult life as an atheist, or at best, an agnostic. A closer look at the characters in each opera presents Wagner?s favorite archetype, but their interactions and fates are not necessarily the same. Lohengrin, written at the beginning of Wagner?s professional career, and Parsifal, written in the last years of his life, exemplify the evolution of a personal philosophy."
