The Vichy cell was invented in 1850 in a French town, from which it adopted its name. Over the years, the pattern has not changed a bit - except that new colors and shades have been added. And so - it's all the same two-color medium-sized cell, created from the same width of perpendicular strips (strands).
Using a Vichy Cell
The fabric with the vichy cage was originally used exclusively for home textiles: bed linen, pajamas and home suits, towels, tablecloths and the like. Everything changed in 1959, when Brigitte Bardot married. The designer of the boutique "Real" she asked to sew it for this celebration something gentle and simple. And she appeared at the wedding in a nice summer dress, below the knee, with a lush hem and ... in a touching white and pink cage. In less than a week, almost all French women appeared at work in dresses made of such fabric. After this, the vichy cell began to gain momentum, creating a carefree image of rural romance, then dictating the severity and conservatism of looks in clothes.
Vichy cage in clothes
In recent seasons, this design has been preferred by many designers. The goose paw has gone to the back burner, Turkish cucumbers have bothered. From tissue to the vichy cell today, you can find any thing: from the neck scarf to the shoes.
Dress in a Vichy cage
Light, practical everyday models "robe" or "shirt" will be a real salvation in the hot season. For lovers of elegant style designers offer knitted versions, piquantly fitting and emphasizing the figure. The most impressive, however, are the maxi dresses - Luisa Beccaria on one of her shows presented even luxurious evening dresses in a small cage. Shoes and a jacket are selected depending on the style of the dress.

Shirt in the cage of Vichy
Recommendations with what to combine a cage of vichas in shirts and trousers are approximately identical. It can be:
- combination of a colored cell with a black or white cloth;

- mix print - combining the cage with other prints or with each other - but different sizes and colors.
As for the styles of shirts, then for working days it is necessary to choose a classic strict, for feminine images - cute, with sleeves-lanterns and a round collar, and for a weekend in nature - a shirt in a vichy cage in a masculine style (loose and with patch pockets).

The most popular is the classic shape of trousers: narrowed, shortened. In style and mood, they resemble models in a tie print - informal and vivid. Wide trousers in the cage will send thoughts to the pajama style, while monochrome "cigarettes", supplemented with ironed hands, white shirt and bright shoes, can come to work.
Of the shapes of skirts, the most common is the "bell" in midi length.

Costumes and overalls in the cage of Vichy
The image completely consisting of a cage, only the present fashionista will sustain. Buying a set of costume is beneficial - you can always divide it and wear it with a top or bottom to tone. Overalls in the vichy cage, however, look quite frivolous - depending on the style, they can go for a trip to the cinema, walking by the sea or visiting the club.

Accessories in the cage of Vichy
Like the crow's foot, the Vichy cell can perfectly dilute the bored image. It can be a bag or a backpack, a bracelet, a necklace, a scarf or shoes. However, it should be remembered that to complement it with any other things in the pattern or print is no longer worth it - the French Vichy cell is very self-sufficient.
