Why was the new look shocking in the 1950s?
In 1945 after World War 2 had ended Christian Diors new look fashion had come out. On 12 February 1947 Dior launched his first fashion collection for Spring-Summer 'in February 1947 Christion dior bought fashion back with a fanfare when he unveiled his new season of clothes' The new look was shocking because Chistion Dior would waste his money on fabric which only rich people could afford and buy. In my opinion if Chistion Dior bought cheap fabric with the his designs the poor people would be able to buy it.
What did people wear before the new look?
The new look is clothes that was made by Christion Dior. 'We got used to skirts on the knee and no lower, and doing without turn ups on trousers' Women got used to the low skirts, material was a waste.
What was the new look?
The New look was that Christian Dior developed his own ideas and made his own garments. 'Soft sloping shoulders over cinched in waist and full skirt which came to mid calf' After the world war long skirts were out. Christian Dior's garments were over the top, really bold and eye catching.
If you were living in 1950s would you have worn the New Look or do you think it was wrong?
If i was living in the 1950's i wouldnt wear have worn the new look because at that time it was really expensive and i dont think i would have been able to afford it. The costings of Christian Diors garments were really expensive and shocking compared to the world war and ration.
