History

Historical Context

The first post-war Paris Haute Couture Week in 1945 marked a revival of fashion after World War II's austerity, with Christian Dior's "New Look" debuting in 1947, featuring a 36-inch waist and voluminous skirts. This transformation reflected a cultural shift, as designers like Matthieu Blazy and Phan Huy today draw from heritage and personal stories, showcasing haute couture's enduring influence on societal norms.
