Spirit of Dior - at war time

As being one of the group to present, our teammates shares ideas and i heard of one important meaning which is - Dior spirit is to create magic of fashion



As i read the book - "THE GOLDEN AGE OF COUTURE : PARIS AND LONDON 1947-1957" EDITED BY CLAIRE WILCOX - V&A



it mentioned that when the time of 1940-1944 (WWII peroid), Haute Couture is disrupted by the economy and threaten of survival, when the year Christian Dior launched his Fashion house and designed "New Look" , 1947.



it gave fresh air to the fashion world as well as the economy. He had these compliments after he suddenly died on 1957.







what he designed and contributed to the fashion industry are his mission to create imagination and possibilities.





this can be revealed by the New look and his style

and http://08404725d.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-look-1947.html


like what his quote:






when the worst period he experienced(WWII),
he was willing to give everyone a dream

so how about the time we faced now?(Financial Tsunami )
should Dior keep its original spirit?
