Christian Dior [electronic resource] : the man who made the world look new / Marie-France Pochna ; foreword by Stanley Marcus.
Christian Dior, the legendary French fashion designer, caused a worldwide sensation in 1947, in a Paris still groping to recover from the devastations of wartime occupation. Reintroducing the flowing, ankle-length skirt, Dior gave women back their long-lost sense of freedom, femininity, and joie de vivre: overnight he was crowned "The King of Fashion." Dubbed the "New Look" by the press-especially the American fashion journalists-Dior's collection, with its pinched waist and generous folds of fabric, also reestablished Paris as the center of world fashion.
