Christian Dior at the ROM
In celebration of the House of Dior’s 70th anniversary, Christian Dior explores the brilliance behind Dior’s dramatic creations that revived the entire Paris haute couture industry after the devastation of the Second World War.
In 1947, the opening of the new couture house and the revolutionary “New Look” - with soft shoulders, padded hips and long, full skirts - swept away the wartime masculine silhouette making Christian Dior’s postwar fashions desired, worn and copied by women around the world.
