The 1940's "Flower Women" of Christian Dior: A fashion revolution using an abundance of fabric cinched tightly at the waist, creating his unmistakable silhouette that personified post-war elegance and women of success.
Then layers of embellishments were introduced; inspired from english gardens to royal objet d'art. Every collection incorporates essences of flowers either with a matching head piece, silk and velvet fabric roses, bold floral prints and sheer overlayed embroidered fabric.
To finish the allure, a dab of fresh out of the bottle Dior fragrance richly crafted with various floral notes to indulge the senses.
That floral idea, deconstructed, found its way into the new autumn/winter 2012-2013 Haute Couture collection, as the designer known for minimalism used dramatic color and delicate workmanship to revive Dior's vision.
