Dior (Fashion Memoir Series)

Buy

Darling of high society, creator of the "New Look", Dior shot to international fame almost overnight at the age of 47. At first his creations provoked angry accusations of unpatriotic extravagance, but women everywhere soon warmed to his hour-glass lines and long, rustling skirts. In this work, Dior's most characteristic designs - dresses and hats, shoes and accessories - are featured, with an outline of his career and his inspired output.

Aswirling skirt twenty metres in circumference, hat tipped over one eye, haughty bearing. No dream, when she first appeared on 12 February 1947, but femininity incarnate, flirtatious, voluptuous, a blend of the outrageous and the elegant: a true Parisian allegory. This was the New Look, fifty years ago, the masterstroke that won back for Parisian couture the place it had lost during the war. Even now, many years later, the name Dior has lost none of its lustre. Though other masters of couture may be synonymous with a particular style, Dior expresses all the magic of fashion, its ability always to start afresh. It was Dior who brought about that marriage of the modern and the miraculous by transforming the role of haute couture. Until then, this was confined to a privileged minority; thanks to him it became the means of fulfilling the dreams of millions of women. 'Women, with their sure instincts, realized that my intention was to make them not just more beautiful but also happier.' A businessman as well as poet, he made fashion responsible for expressing society's desires and showed it how to communicate universally, establishing the democratic course of its future development.
