Greetings Readers!
Welcome to yet antoher fashion filled feature from yours truly!
Today is a very exciting and long awaited feature on one of the hottest and most popular Spring/Summer trends for 2014.
In the year of 1947 designer Christian Dior launched a design of clothing that would revolutionise fashion as we knew it. The ‘New Look’ dress was a dress that highlight the waist and the curves of women. It featured a nipped in waist and large, full skirt, this same ‘circle skirt’ has been an adored style for many decades after Dior’s first collection and is one of the most sought after designs in Vintage fashion. And now it is back with vengeance!

One of the most famous examples of this classic, beloved trend is when in 1950 Walt Disney released one of the best loved films of all time ‘Cinderella.’ From rags to riches, Cinderella’s simple and somewhat damaged dress (curtosy of her two mean spirited step sisters) was transformed into a dazzling blue gown in the style of the New Look dress.

The skirt was an icon of the optimism that was 1950, having been liberated from the hardships of World War II, Great Britain and her allied countries enjoyed many luxuries that had not been allowed to them before. One of of the key aspects to this new found freedom was the luxury of having more fabric and material to design and make clothing. It is safe to say that Dior aspired to create an icon of the new decade with this elaborate design, for me this dress represents freedom, hope and a new and brighter Europe post war.
Join me as we go ‘full circle’ to explore into what the modern fashion world of 2014 has to offer, I will be showing you some of the hottest looks around and how to recreate this timeless, classic style. Featuring designers such as Emily and Finn, to high street favourites such as Dorothy Perkins, ASOS and our beloved Primark!
