1954 Dior Dresses Fashions Gown Gowns Shantung Silk Stylish Suits Taffeta Skirt
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the annals of fashion history, two iconic looks from 1954 come together to showcase the elegance and glamour of the era. On the left, a caramel-colored restaurant suit in heavy silk shantung is presented, its melting shoulder line, vertically seamed jacket, and slanting pockets all allies for a pleasant evening. The suit's design, with its soft, flowing lines and subtle sheen, exudes an air of sophistication and understated elegance, making it the perfect choice for a night out on the town. In stark contrast, on the right, a New Look dress by Christian Dior in black paper taffeta steals the spotlight. This dress, with its alluring bell skirt and the tiniest of spencer jackets, curves into an enormous draped collar that adds a touch of drama and opulence. The New Look, introduced by Christian Dior in 1947, was a revolutionary design that emphasized a woman's curves, and this dress is a prime example of the style's enduring appeal. The use of paper taffeta, a fabric known for its crisp texture and luxurious feel, adds to the dress's timeless sophistication. Together, these two looks encapsulate the essence of 1950s fashion, with its emphasis on femininity, elegance, and glamour. Whether one prefers the understated sophistication of the restaurant suit or the dramatic allure of the New Look dress, this photograph is a testament to the enduring influence of these iconic designs on fashion history.
