Chelsea Library

Event Concluded

Event Description

When Christian Dior introduced his ‘New Look’ silhouette to ladies fashion in 1947, his vision was woman as flower: a return to an elegant and structured femininity of the Edwardian era. But not all flowers are placid, soft pastel shades and Australian women increasingly rebelled against his restrictive style and reached for the vibrancy of textures and shapes that were part of our post-war optimism, creating our own new look.
