Fashion week- own research Dior couture

Dior couture




































Dior Couture is under the Christian Dior brand obviously, and up keeping with what his fashion legacy left us now. I find this work absolutely amazing all unique all with outstanding amounts of detail on them. These dresses are just simply stunning and my favourite it the one above the blue one with Emily Blunt it in i just love it i love the patterned edging the corset look and the curvation look that it gives her.         



Fashion week- own research Christian Dior

Christian Dior












  • 21st january 1905- 23 october 1957 
  • Was a French fashion designer. 
  • 8th december 1949 Dior founded his fashion  house. 
  • His first collection was called Carolle. 
  • His designs were voluptuous, he was influence by the rations on fabric from the war. 
  • Master of creating shapes and silhouettes.
  • "I have designed flower women"- Dior. 
  • He made it so that his dresses flared out from the waist, giving his models curvaceous forms. 
  • He got back lash for his designs covering women's lower legs because of the amount of fabric used but after the war time shortages ended it subsided.  
I find his work to be just so pretty and i also like that he used more fabric then society at the time would have like I feel like he was finding a way out of war feelings and his fashion was doing that he amazing dresses were doing that.

I really like these dresses i love how soft and pasterly they are and just how elegant they come across to you. I like the soft frills that are incorporated within this work as they just flow and float so beautifully you cant help but love the delicate look of it.
