This is the ultimate in body-conscious clothing with an unusually high collar stand, a sharp collar line, a small waist, and a curving hip line that thrusts back. This suit is inherited with the beautiful lines typical of Christian Dior (1905–1957), the founder of the fashion house. It was created by utilizing delicate techniques of Haute Couture. The perfect form, like bondage clothing, seems to purposefully emphasize the traditional factor of body restraint in Western clothes.
John Galliano started designing for Dior in 1996. He creates excellent contemporary designs inspired from historical or ethnic costumes as well as from street fashion, freely remixing their detail elements. Galliano rejuvenated the Dior Brand, which had stuck to a classical elegance, and led the brand boom in the 1990s.
