The New Look: Apple TV drama shows how Dior brought optimism to a war-weary world

Mercredi, février 14, 2024

Dior’s haute couture collection remains a historical moment for post-war fashion, and lends its name to Apple’s new ten-part series.

Key Points: 
  • Dior’s haute couture collection remains a historical moment for post-war fashion, and lends its name to Apple’s new ten-part series.
  • The drama explores the state of Parisian couture in the final year of the second world war and the years that followed through the lives of important designers.
  • This includes Dior and his contemporaries Coco Chanel, Pierre Balmain, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Lucien Lelong, Hubert de Givenchy and Pierre Cardin.

French fashion during wartime

  • Once Nazi forces invaded, Paris and its international fashion markets were effectively cut off from the rest of the world.
  • As fashion designers were forced to limit the amount of material they used, unnecessary decorative additions such as ruffles and pockets became expendable.
  • Instead, wartime couturiers turned to embroidery and beading for decoration – trends that continue to characterise haute couture today.

The rival ‘American look’

  • Its biggest rival was the American ready-to-wear apparel industry, an aspect of the story this new series dramatises to great effect.
  • Though the American industry also faced fabric rationing during the second world war, it was not occupied, and the restrictions weren’t as debilitating.

Dior’s beacon of hope

  • Dior’s 1947 Carolle collection, was renamed the “new look” at first viewing by American fashion editor Carmel Snow.
  • Snow claimed it represented the creation of a new femininity – which Dior would later call “the golden age of couture”.
  • Rather, it celebrated the end of the grim years of wartime trauma, misery and lack.
