Christian Dior | Bar

This week, my guest is the one and only Cassie Stephens. She is an amazing art teacher well known for her unique style and wonderful lessons in all media. Find her books, podcast, lesson plans, and more on her website. Our subject for this episode is Christian Dior. Dior was an influential designer in the mid 20th century. He made a splash in the design world when he introduced "The New Look" in his first collection just after starting his own design company after World War 2. His work was structured in the top, narrow in the waist contrasted with a big, flowing skirt. The use of so much fabric was seen as decadent in some circles, but Dior was seeking to move past the rationing and austerity of the war era and bring the joy back with his fresh designs.
