In 1947, French fashion designer Christian Dior revolutionised the world of haute couture with the debut of his first influential collection, famously dubbed the "New Look."
Characterised by cinched waists, voluminous skirts, and an emphasis on feminine elegance, Dior's designs marked a dramatic departure from the austere, utilitarian styles of the wartime era.
His luxurious use of fabric and celebration of opulence not only redefined post-war fashion but also reignited Paris as the epicentre of the global fashion scene, symbolising a return to glamour, sophistication, and the exuberance of femininity.
