The “ New Look ” is the name given by the editor association of the Harper' S Bazaar , Carmel Snow, with the silhouette created by the dressmaker Christian Dior in February 1947 when it launches its first collection, the line “corolla”.
New Look is characterized by a very marked size and round shoulders. It was built in reaction to the mode of the Années 1940, marked by rationing, where the Jupe S were narrow and the square shoulders. The Dior silhouette promotes long the Jupe S Jupon Nantes under an underlined bust, in a profusion of fabrics (up to 40 meters of circumference for the model headlight Diorama ). New Look of Dior was a success fulgurating in the world, in spite of many detractors, in particular with the the United States, which reproached the dressmaker for hiding the legs of the women. In this time of post-war period when rationing is still of setting, one also reproaches him the use of too great quantities of fabric.
New Look will be copied of thousand and ones manners by the dressmakers of the time, but nobody will reach the perfection of the skirts corollas of the Dior house.
