New collection New Look

After World War II restrictions, women are longing for chic and elegant garments. Taking the opposite view from the fashion of the 40’s, Christian Dior designs a slender silhouette, curvy yet with a very thin waist and a longer hemline.
Named “New Look” by Carmel Snow, Harper Bazaar’s Fashion Editor, this style stands for a comeback to a French way of life in the fifties.

Echoing the fashion of this decade, the New look collection is infused with a sleek femininity, featured in laid-back shades of steel grey and petroleum blue.
Bows are booming, coming engraved or in volume, while herringbone and houndstooth patterns as well as animal prints set up a modern translation of the “jolie madame” mindset, quintessential of the Parisienne lady, structured and infused with a chic classicism.
