Dearest glamorous darlings,
Welcome to The Fashion Boudoir, where stories are stitched into silk and silhouettes whisper of timespast.
Today, I invite you into a garden — not just any garden, but the one that bloomed inside the imagination of a man who, after years of war and rationing, dared to dream of colourful roses and lily of the valley. A man who delicately dressed women like flowers. A man who would bring glamour back to a mourning, tired and grey world.
In this episode, we unravel the tale of The New Look — that iconic silhouette born in 1947 from Christian Dior’s yearning for beauty, elegance, and a return to a forgotten femininity.
From the colourful gardens of Granville to the salons of Avenue Montaigne, from criticism to coronation, we follow the delicate arc of a fashion revolution that shaped not just the waistline, but the spirit of an entire era.
Elegantly yours,
Carla Moulin
