Historia mody
Founded in 1876 as Wade, Davis & Co., the firm became Whiting & Davis in 1896. In 1912, the company revolutionized production by introducing the first automated mesh-weaving machine. This innovation transitioned metal mesh from a labor-intensive luxury to a prominent fashion staple. Throughout the twentieth century, the brand collaborated with designers such as Paul Poiret and Elsa Schiaparelli, solidifying its role in the evolution of evening accessories and industrial fashion applications.
