A creative designer, he modified 19th-century clothing to make
it more functional for modern life, allegedly at the request of
his most illustrious client, Empress Eugénie. Nearly all of his
clients visited his salon for a consultation and fitting,
transforming the House of Worth into a gathering place for
society.
He was the first to sew branded labels into his clothing and
replace the fashion dolls with live models to promote his
garments to clients. His fashion house employed 1,200
employees at the conclusion of his career, and it had a
significant influence on fashion taste. Among his key
innovations in women's fashion 'was the line of garments and
their length’.

Garment shape
At the height of his fame, Worth transformed the crinoline, a
style that was enormously popular. Worth wanted to create a
more functional silhouette for women, so he narrowed the
crinoline and shifted the bulk of it to the back, freeing up the
front and sides of the wearer.
Shorter Hemline
Empress Eugénie recommended Worth make a walking skirt
with a lower hemline since she liked taking long walks but
disliked wearing long skirts. Due to its ankle length, this was at
first considered excessively unconventional or even alarming,
but with time it gained popularity due to its usefulness.
