Designer Spotlight: Christian Dior in the late 1940s

“Simplicity, good taste, and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing.” – Christian Dior

After the austere styles of the WW II years, Dior took the fashion industry by storm with his line The New Look. The cut featured rounded shoulders, a cinched waist, and very full skirt. The New Look celebrated ultra-femininity and a return to opulence in women's fashion.

Richard Avadon (American, 1923 - 2004) • The New Look of Dior, Place de la Concorde, Paris, August 1947

Evening coat • Fall/winter 1947–48

Dior styles were often given titles:

Right: Dior's 1947 debut was dubbed the "Bar Suit", it is the most iconic Dior creation.

Left: "Abandon" • 1948-1949

"Mystère" • 1948-1949
