"Fashion Trends through the decades"
Once World War II ended, newcomer Christian Dior rebelled against the austerity of the time and produced an extravagant design of a fitted jacket with a cinched waist and a full calf-length skirt using ten to eighty yards of fabric. This style, dubbed the "New Look," would prove to be a turning point in the postwar. Dior's designs became extremely popular, as women were longing to dress femininely and frivolously again.
Chanel countered the voluminous look with boxy suits and slim skirts in tweed. A consumer market was born, and for the first time, teenagers became a force in the fashion market as a result of influences such as music and film.
