Christian Dior-New look


Christian diors,new look was a major shift in post-war fashion,after the war period of rationing it was a refreshing change that was wanted and supported by many women.It was a look that used yards and yards of fabric ,something that had not been available to women for a very long time.This made it something that was even more desirable women wanted a change from hardly using any materials and fabric to be able to start using it by the load.





For many the new look wasn't affordable but was a point of inspiration and women that couldn't afford the types of clothing did whatever they could to gain this look,they used everyday materials like blackout curtains to create dior's skirts and bought paper patterns from which they produced their own copy of the garments.

It was very impactful and reached out to many women as Dior had the idea of making women feminine once again through their clothing,he made everything softer and longer,fabrics were more flowing and had a very rich look to them.
