Christian Dior A5 Postcard Look 56 Dress

Bring a piece of Haute Couture history into your home with this A5 postcard of the Look 56 evening dress, designed by Marc Bohan for the House of Dior. The evening dress in figured silk and Lurex with Oriental-style motifs in shades of blue, red, orange, and gold formed part of the Haute Couture Autumn-Winter 1970 collection and is today on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Bohan had a long and fruitful career at Dior, at which he spent 29 years as the creative director. He presided over 57 Haute Couture collections with a common trait of simplicity, elegance, and a rejection of contemporary fashion running through the veins of his style. As such, the postcard carrying the image of this piece of fashion history well deserves its place in your home, bringing to life the spirit of early 1970s Haute Couture fostered at Dior. Look 56, evening dress in figured silk and Lurex with Oriental-style motifs in shades of blue, red, orange, and gold. Haute Couture Autumn-Winter 1970. Christian Dior by Marc Bohan.
