Experience the "euphoria" of reinvention and Dior's New Look |
|
| “Your dresses have such a new look”
- Carmel Snow, editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar to Christian Dior
The New Look was the name given to a style of women’s clothing launched by Christian Dior in his first haute couture collection presented in Paris in 1947. We felt this was a fitting theme for our opening feature now that Bloomsbury Fashion Central has a new look of its own which we’re delighted to share with our users.
Dior’s New Look made its impact through a reimagination of form, style and structure and we hope that you will enjoy the redesigned visuals and experience when discovering our fashion resources once more.
Invention and reinvention embody the spirit of fashion and evolving approaches to the adornment of the body. We've therefore curated a selection of the best chapters, articles, videos and images from across the site which explore the topic - from the sparks of creative inspiration that lead to the reality of product innovation, to fearless rebranding and the ethical ingenuity of reuse and recycling. |
