Akukho mkhondo wokuthi ubani owakha ijezi lokuqala emlandweni. Ekuqaleni, izithameli eziyinhloko zejezi zazigxile emisebenzini ethile, futhi ukufudumala kwayo kanye nesimo sayo sokungangeni manzi kwenza kwaba yingubo ewusizo kubadobi noma abasemanzini, kodwa kusukela ngawo-1920 kuqhubeke, ijezi lahlotshaniswa kakhulu nemfashini.
Ngawo-1920, eminye imidlalo yayivela emphakathini ophakeme waseBrithani, futhi amajezi aluka kancane ayethandwa yizicukuthwane ngoba ayesiza abadlali bezemidlalo ukugcina izinga lokushisa lomzimba wabo lishisa ngaphandle futhi ngoba ayethambile futhi ekhululekile ngokwanele ukuvumela inkululeko yokuhamba. Kodwa-ke, akuzona zonke izinhlobo zamajezi ezazivunyelwe yibo.
Ijezi laseFair Isle, elivela eFair Isle enyakatho yeScotland, linomoya omuhle wasemaphandleni, futhi iphethini nesitayela salo akuhlobene namagama anjenge-aristocracy, ezemidlalo kanye nemfashini. Ngo-1924, umthwebuli wezithombe wathwebula isithombe sika-Edward VIII egqoke ijezi laseFair Isle eholidini, ngakho-ke leli jezi elinephethini laba yinto ethandwayo futhi lahlala ezihlalweni ezivelele embuthanweni wemfashini. Ijezi laseFair Isle lisavamile ezinkundleni zemidlalo nanamuhla.
Ijezi langempela phakathi kwendilinga yemfashini, kodwa futhi ngenxa yomklami waseFrance uSonia Rykiel owaziwa ngokuthi “indlovukazi yokuthunga” (uSonia Rykiel). Ngawo-1970, uSonia, owayekhulelwe, kwadingeka azenzele amajezi akhe ngoba wayengakwazi ukuthola ama-top afanele esitolo esikhulu. Ngakho-ke ijezi elalingavimbeli isibalo sowesifazane lazalwa enkathini lapho ama-curve abesifazane ayegcizelelwa khona ekwakhiweni. Ngokungafani nemfashini ephezulu eyinkimbinkimbi yangaleso sikhathi, ijezi likaSonia lalinokuthunga okuvamile, okwenziwe ngesandla ekhaya, kanti ngawo-1980, iNkosazana uDiana, omunye “usomfashini” emndenini wasebukhosini waseBrithani, wayegqoka ijezi, okwaholela ekuthambekeleni kwabesifazane abagqoka amajezi.
