Thanks Joel and Diana,

I'm afraid I am too young to get your Christian Dior reference Joel. Even Chris (the font of trivia) can't enlighten me... ;)

Cheers, Kirsten

Wobbly Wobbly Too - (A World War) ran from 1939 until 1945. Hitler closed Paris and buried fashion. Australia had severe rationing even of clothes and cloth. Skirts were short and severe and everybody was either in uniform or looking scantily dressed.

In 1946 Christian Dior relaunched his High Fashion Dress Salon in Paris and re-introduced 'feminity' with longer skirts - softer lines and a totally 'New Look'. David Jones brought him to Australia in 1948 to co-incide with the end of clothes rationing. After the severe constraints of wartime it caused a sensation and anything with a totally 'New Look' became doing a Christian Dior.

Incidentally his salon was eventually swallowd by Yves St Laurent whom you may have heard of - kind regards - Joel Morrell
