Womens fashions have come a long way in the past twenty years

Womens fashions have come a long way in the past twenty years. About eighteen inches in fact. Cynics who have been wondering where its all leading to have their answer in this picture. In a word. Upwards. On the right is an original 1947 Dior outfit - known at the time as the " New Look". On the left is Diors Newer Look - from their 1967 collection. The old and the (mini) new were shown together on Tuesday (4-4-67) at a fashion show for mothers and daughters at Diors London boutique. One interesting thought: If Dior hold a similar show in twenty years time, where will the hemline of the 1987 outfit be? Not much higher than this mini-colette, thats for sure. April 1967 P017549

EDITORS COMMENTS
Womens fashions have come a long way in the past twenty years. About eighteen inches in fact. Cynics who have been wondering where it's all leading to have their answer in this picture. In a word: Upwards. On the right, we see an original 1947 Dior outfit known as the 'New Look'. This iconic ensemble revolutionized women's fashion at the time with its cinched waist and full skirt, exuding elegance and femininity. On the left, we witness Diors' Newer Look from their 1967 collection. The mini dress showcased here challenges societal norms by daringly revealing more leg than ever before. It represents a shift towards liberation and self-expression for women during this era of change. Both styles were juxtaposed on Tuesday (4-4-67) at a fashion show held exclusively for mothers and daughters at Diors London boutique. This event aimed to bridge generational gaps while celebrating how far womenswear has evolved over two decades. One cannot help but wonder what lies ahead if Dior were to hold a similar show twenty years from now. Will hemlines continue their upward trajectory or will they stabilize? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - these mini dresses are pushing boundaries like never before. This photograph captured in April 1967 serves as a testament to the power of fashion as an agent of transformation and progress.
