The New Look

The New Look was a fashion trend introduced by designer Christian Dior in 1947. It featured elegant, feminine styles characterized by a cinched waist, full skirts, and delicate fabrics. Aimed at post-war luxury, this approach marked a return to opulence after years of wartime austerity. The New Look emphasized a romantic silhouette, with flattering lines that celebrated the female form. It revolutionized women's fashion, influencing designers and trends globally. The term also reflects a broader cultural shift towards optimism and femininity in the years following World War II.
