CHRISTIAN DIOR A5 Postcard Bar Suit

Bring a piece of Haute Couture history into your home with this A5 postcard of the Bar Suit, designed by Christian Dior. The afternoon suit consisting of an ecru shantung jacket and black wool pleated skirt formed part of the Haute Couture Spring-Summer 1947 Corolle line and is today on display at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, after it was donated to the museum by Christian Dior Couture. The creation signified, perhaps the biggest fashion revolution of the 20th century and infused joie de vivre into the gloomy post-war era. As such, the postcard carrying the image of this piece of fashion history well deserves a place in your home, bringing to life the one and only Bar suit, which gave life to “The New Look.” Bar, afternoon ensemble, natural shantung jacket and skirt in black Gérondeau & Cie pleated wool crepe, Haute Couture Spring-Summer 1947, Corolle line.
