Christian Diors Spring Fashion Show, 1948
Christian Berard, the Surrealist painter, seated on the floor, gazing at passing gowns during Christian Diors Spring Fashion show, 1948. In 1947 Christian Dior created a sensational collection labelled the New Look. His designs centred around gowns with an 18-inch waist, which focused attention on the bust and hips. He paired the nipped in waist with a full skirt, using a large amount of material. This was seen as luxuriously extravagant because of the rations upon material following the war. Dior developed his talents through a study of art which included painting, magazine illustration and European architecture

EDITORS COMMENTS
Christian Berard, the renowned Surrealist painter, takes a moment to appreciate the artistry of Christian Dior's Spring Fashion Show in 1948. Dior's designs had already made waves the previous year with his New Look collection, which featured gowns with an 18-inch waist, drawing attention to the bust and hips. This departure from the utilitarian styles of the post-war era was seen as luxuriously extravagant due to the rationing of materials. Dior's talents were honed through his studies in art, which included painting, magazine illustration, and European architecture. Seated on the floor, Berard gazes intently at the passing gowns, taking in the intricate details and elegant lines. The large amount of material used in each design adds to the opulence of the show, creating a sense of grandeur and glamour. The New Look collection marked a turning point in fashion history, signaling a return to femininity and elegance after the austerity of the war years." "This image captures a moment of inspiration and admiration as two artistic visionaries come together to celebrate the beauty and artistry of fashion. Christian Dior's designs, with their nipped-in waists and full skirts, revolutionized the fashion industry and set the stage for a new era of style and sophistication." "The use of rich fabrics and intricate details in Dior's designs were a stark contrast to the practical and utilitarian clothing of the post-war era. The New Look collection was a celebration of femininity and luxury, and its influence can still be seen in fashion today. This image of Christian Berard, the Surrealist painter, taking in the beauty of the Spring Fashion Show in 1948, is a testament to the enduring power of art and fashion to inspire and captivate.
