Abstract

As one of the most important fashion designers of the 20th century, Christian Dior and his fashion work were selected for this research. For this purpose, the cut and design of a women's costume were developed. Dior's first collection, called the "New Look", featured dresses with silhouettes resembling a lily, a flower (corolla line), and the number 8. "The Bar" jacket from this collection became synonymous with the collection itself and was frequently reinterpreted in the subsequent work of the fashion house. For this reason, the women's costume was inspired by Dior's number 8 silhouette and "The Bar" jacket. The designed models from the collection have been adapted to contemporary fashion and times. As a result of the research, in the Technological Laboratory for Clothing Technology Processes, a model of a women's costume was made according to the author's own measurements (A.P.).
