1940s fashion

France's fashion industry now has a global reach. French designers have contributed to the evolution of our modern world through a wide variety of fashion styles. Christian Dior is one of the most well-known couturiers. He created the "New Look", which changed the way women dress worldwide. This new look rejected restrictions on fabric and was more focused on the woman’s bust, waist, calves.

Christian Dior's "new style"

Christian Dior introduced the "New Style" in 1947 for his Spring/Summer collections. It featured a jacket with a nipped waist and a full length skirt. Through the years, the "New Look" has remained a popular fashion trend. Its enduring success has spawned multiple imitations of the look.

Paul Poiret was the son of a Parisian cloth merchant. He lived with his parents who were also artists above the store. He was a typical student at school.

But he kept going after his fashion dreams. He would sketch designs on a wooden mannequin given to him by his sisters.


Louis Vuitton

In 1837, Louis Vuitton moved to Paris and became apprenticed to a successful Parisian trunk-maker. Vuitton was known for creating beautiful trunks that could be used for everyday items and large wardrobes. Vuitton eventually opened his own trunk-making studio four years later. His trunks are still available all over the globe. He quickly became a celebrity in Parisian fashion.
