Many famous designers get to travel all over the world to see fashion shows and get foreign inspiration, or even to just make business connections. Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages too. Perfection is often a nemesis of many famous designers. It takes sometimes more than two hundred hours to complete a ambitious project, depending on the complexity of the inner and outer construction and the extent of the finish work.

I will be looking into how Dior’s context informed his practice, by using three of his most iconic and popular designs; The Bar Suit, Venus Dress and the Cygne Noir dress. And how these were a direct representation of 1945-1950 France.
My love affair with fashion started years ago, but over these past 2 years it has grown into something so beautiful. Fashion made it’s grand entrance in my life when I was looking over a Chanel catalog along with a few other designers. For example; Vera Wang, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Phoebe Philo, and many more. The designs caught my eye and I was just mesmerized by it all. It literally took my breath away!
