THE LITTLE GUIDE TO CHRISTIAN DIOR - ORANGE HIP...

Though his life was relatively short  Christian Ernest Dior's seismic influence on the fashion
world ensures his name lives on as one of the most successful and celebrated designers of all
time. Using the rationing restrictions of wartime  he created designs that extenuated the
female figure and released the women of the world from the restrictive  dull clothing that
restricted rather than enhanced femininity. It was Dior's sudden prominence on the world stage
that restored Paris' reputation as the epicentre of the fashion world. To wear a Dior item of
clothing  was to wear the best of the best. His post-War collection was described as a
completely 'new look' by the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar  one of the world's most
powerful style magazines. The description was adopted and quickly became a fashion movement 
with Dior's 'New Look' leading the way and even stealing the limelight from compatriot
Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel. The Little Guide to Christian Dior shows how despite coming from a
wealthy background with powerful allies  Christian Dior may not have had to scrap his way to
the top as Coco Chanel did  but his talent is no less worthy and his legacy as one of the
world's greatest designers is no less deserving.
