New LookWbrew pozorom to nie tylko nazwa znanej sieciówki, ale też przełomowego stylu, jaki tuż po II wojnie światowej wymyślił sam Christian Dior. Zaprezentowana przez słynnego francuskiego projektanta kolekcja z 1947 roku wyznaczyła trendy na całą dekadę i obejmowała takie charakterystyczne elementy, jak obszerne spódnice szyte z koła sięgające do połowy łydki czy dopasowane do sylwetki żakiety z wyraźnie zaznaczoną talią. Co ciekawe, New Look od początku wzbudzał sporo kontrowersji. Podczas gdy bywalczynie salonów zachwycały się nową, bardzo kobiecą modą, która całkowicie podbiła ich serca, krytycy uważali, że w dobie niedostatku Dior wykorzystał zbyt dużą ilość drogiego materiału, przez co kolekcja mogła być odebrana za niestosowną. Nie przeszkodziło jej to jednak stać się synonimem mody lat 50. i przejść do historii jako jedna z najpopularniejszych kolekcji, jakie kiedykolwiek stworzył dom mody Dior. Nazwę New Look wymyśliła ówczesna redaktor naczelna czasopisma „Harper's Bazaar” i trzeba przyznać, że oddaje ona wszystko, co znamienne dla tej linii marki – świeżość, nowoczesność i zupełnie nowy wygląd, który kobiety absolutnie pokochały.

FULL ARTICLE By Annelise Moses, Second Year History Annelise Moses discusses the groundbreaking impact of Christian Dior's 'New Look' collection, and how it paved a change for feminism in fashion In light of the new 'Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams’ exhibition that opened at the beginning of February this year at London’s V&A Museum, it would be interesting to cast our minds back to the iconic, French designer’s most ground-breaking collection. On 12th February 1947, not even two years after World War 2 had ended, Christian Dior unveiled his Corolle collection - later dubbed the “New Look” following then editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar, Carmel Snow’s, exclamatory remarks upon the reveal. The “New Look” can be seen as both a reaction to the austerity of the war years, but also as ushering in a decade of fetishised femininity. During the war, fashion trends were about practicality; dresses got shorter due to fabric rationing, the bikini made its debut and clothes adopted a more masculine edge. The Corolle collection was everything that these austere fashion trends were not; using excessive and luxurious fabrics, the Bar suit - the main feature of the new collection - sought to emphasise the unique aspects of the female body. The “New Look” is well known for its cinched-in waists, ankle-length skirts and rounded-shoulders that “accentuated the waist, the volume of the hips, I emphasised the bust”, in the words of Christian Dior himself. In the fashion world, and indeed much of the wider Western world, this celebration of the female body was well-received. The 1950s were an era in which women returned to their traditional role as homemaker and housekeeper, and the post-war economic recovery facilitated an increasingly affluent and consumerist society. Dior’s “New Look” exemplified this very moment in history. However, as progressive forces increasingly gained a voice in Western societies, arguing against the conformity and consensus of their predecessors to unjust state institutions, Dior’s “New Look” suffered criticism. The late 1950s and 1960s saw the birth of second-wave feminism, said to have been prompted by the publication of Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex in 1949. Second-wave feminism drew attention to the societal beliefs of the woman that restricted her role to certain places and spaces, largely the home and the family, and by consequence resulted in several legal and de facto inequalities between man and woman. The “New Look” received critique from the emerging movement for women’s liberation in the United States, with women picketing fashion shows with placards brandishing the slogan “Burn Mr Dior”; for such women, the tight waists and emphasised busts of the “New Look” were a demonstration of the objectification of women that they deplored. Whatever the controversy, the Dior “New Look” has had a long-standing impact on the fashion trends we witness today. The key features of the Corolle collection have been reinvented, reimagined and modernised, and can be seen in the fashion trends of many societies. Even as of the recent SS19 fashion weeks, the knife-tight pleats that were a prominent feature of the Bar suit’s ankle-length skirts can be witnessed on the catwalks of Roland Mouret and Givenchy. Other key items in the collection have remained pervasive in the world of fashion; this season has seen wide belts and suits gaining popular appeal, simulating the tight waists of the “New Look”. So perhaps in a time where feminism is in its third phase, the celebration of the female body by the “New Look” has regained its popular appeal that it first received in the 1950s. This exhibition has been curated at the V&A by Oriole Cullen, after being transferred from Paris’s Musee des Arts Decoratifs. It is a must see for all interested in fashion, history or those merely looking for an aesthetically-pleasing day out in London. The exhibition is running from February 2nd to July 14th.

The year was 1947 when Christian Dior unveiled his first collection in Paris, and it was immediately dubbed the “new look” by Harper’s Bazaar US, cementing the designer’s place in fashion history. This look was characterized by layers of fabric and of course the iconic bar jacket which would endure for many years. Following up the post-war years of austere style, Dior ushered in a Belle Epoque sense of luxury with layers of fabric that sometimes used over twenty yards of material. In the same way, Dior uses the feel of luxury in a bottle of Christian Dior perfume through a combination of notes that harmonize to classic perfection, culminating in a sleek and timeless spray bottle design–the bar jacket hits all the same notes for wearers of the piece. Dior’s Bar jacket is characterized by molded curves, a cinched waist, elevated bust and padded hips. Christian Dior named it the Bar jacket since the piece was intended for the afternoon cocktail hour at hotels. What made Dior’s “new look” so captivating? The full skirts and focus on the female form was welcomed by many women in Europe and the United States after the war years where materials were limited and rationed. Moreover, Dior helped Paris regain its premiere fashion capital status after its fall during WWII. Dior Bar Jacket in Photos Through the years, the Bar jacket has been re-created by Dior creative directors John Galliano and Raf Simons (and not to mention countless other designers inspired by Dior’s “new look”). Galliano often featured the piece in his couture showings while Raf Simons made the bar jacket a staple of his debut, fall 2012 haute couture collection. The jacket has remained popular with women ever since its inception because though trends in what is considered “en vogue” for the ideal women’s body type, the bar jacket flattered any woman’s figure – something women searching for the perfect jacket for virtually any occasion knew they could count on. Iconic fashion pieces like this come along only once in a while – think “little black dress.” Pieces like this also become our main wardrobe staples, like the perfect watch, your signature scent, and your go-to clutch when you’re heading out the door. To say fashion as art may seem like an oversimplification, but when design and structure are nailed the way they were with creating the bar jacket, it’s an absolute truth.
