Who invented fashion design?

Fashion design as we know it today does not have a single inventor, but rather evolved over centuries. However, Charles Frederick Worth, a 19th-century English designer, is often credited as the "father of haute couture." He was the first to establish a fashion house in Paris and introduced the practice of showcasing collections to clients, setting the stage for modern fashion design. His influence laid the groundwork for the fashion industry and the role of the designer.
