If you ask me in the recent fifty years which garment brands are highly sought-after by women and perfectly present women’s elegance and enchantment. Dior must belong to one of them.

When mentioned Dior,A Fashion Revolution, Christian Dior’s New Look Articles a classic black-and-white photograph enters in my mind. An elegant Dior model wears a “New Look” long skirt. The background is the Pont de Grenelle Bridge across the Seine River and a replica of the Statue of Liberty. Many people think Christian Dior’s New Look really ended up the Second World War. For a long time women longed for frivolity in dress and desired feminine clothes that did not look like a civilian version of a military uniform. Christian Dior realized these women’s dream. As a peaceful declaration, New Look told us the war was ending and the new life was beginning.

Christian Dior once proclaimed in his autobiography, “I wanted my dresses be constructed, molded upon the curves of the feminine body, whose sweep they would stylize.” therefore, in the spring of 1947, he launched a new line of women’s clothing “New Look” which stunned and delighted the rest of the fashion world. It was a backlash from the Second World War’s stringency and was typically defined by the generously use of luxurious fabrics, a wasp-waisted silhouette with widely flared skirts. New Look dominated the fashion world for about ten years and until now it still continues its influence on the fashion world.
