The straight, restrained silhouette showed that femininity can be elegant without excesses. Dior pioneered minimalism, which influenced fashion for decades to come.
Trapeze Line (1957)
It should be noted that this is a special collection, because it was created by the young Yves Saint Laurent, who in those years was a student of Christian Dior. The creative approach of the two fashion designers gave the dresses lightness and freedom of movement. This collection became a harbinger of 1960s fashion and proved that style can be both free and refined. By the way, Trapeze Line was presented in the year of Dior's death.
Dior passed away early, but his legacy lives on - from classic shows to modern collections. His name today means not only fashion, but new rules of elegance and freedom of style.
