New Look Style

Send

Created by Christian Dior in 1947, it is still widely distributed. The secret of popularity, without a doubt, lies in exquisite femininity ...

A softly sloping shoulder line, a narrow bodice, a wasp waist accentuated and a lush skirt on the hips, as a rule, not reaching the floor of 30 cm. The embodiment of Parisian sophistication and elegance.
"New image", so the name of the style is translated. "The embodiment of the dream of an ideal woman" - this could translate the idea of the legendary designer.

Before World War II, sporty notes prevailed in the guise of a woman. And after the harsh war years, after many women replaced men in their workplaces, longing for a new, lyrical and poetic image arose in the heads of designers. In short, they remembered that a woman should still remain a woman.

Apparently, the beautiful half of humanity also missed the exquisite femininity, which ensured tremendous success for the new Christian Dior collection. Of course, among fashion critics, there were accusations that New Look style clothes require a lot of fabric and effort to sew, other designers (among them Coco Chanel) vehemently opposed a new look at women. Nevertheless, the style is still alive ... And now there is no need to wear corsets (for those who do not want to wear them), you can not only vary the length of the skirt, but also replace it with trousers, purchase new ones,materials for narrow bodices and multilayer skirts are lighter and more pleasant for the skin, and the choice of accessories is strictly individual (if you wish, you can easily refuse the hat and stilettos obligatory half a century ago).
By the way, New Look style pays special attention to accessories: hats, gloves and elegant handbags, belts, stockings with arrows and pumps or stiletto heels. And also bows and bows, butterfly sunglasses, large necklaces and bracelets.
