We’re on Week 5 του Designer έργου πλέκω and that brings us to Christian Dior. Let’s see how crochet has played a role in Dior’s design and take a look at some amazing Dior fashions that would look stunning if they were reinvented in crochet.
About Christian Dior
Christian Dior burst onto the fashion scene with a bang in the late 1940′s. The war had just ended and fashions were still rather sparse, angular and plain but Dior changed all of that with super-feminine bustling evening gowns, the revival of the corseted waist and other elaborate features. This was just the start of his cutting-edge take on fashion. In the next ten years he managed to create nearly two dozen collections, each with a unique silhouette that pushed the boundaries of fashion at the time. Δυστυχώς, he had started this career a bit late in life and passed away in 1957. His inspiration lives on at the fashion house of Dior.
