Dresses, clothes and costumes are visible phenomena with multiple meanings: social, economic, political, psychological, aesthetic… The appearances make the visible universe of the social world. They are the object of judgments, stereotypes, mental images, fantasies.They vary according to the modes and the representations which generate them and model them. Also the writers of the 19th century more particularly, attached to represent with realism the society, are part of this world of fabrics and cloths to the forms, textures and multiple colors, laboratory of their novelistic and poetic creation. Also in the theater as in the novel the clothing panoply makes it shimmer its socio-economic powers as its multiple seductions. The seamstress, the grisette, the actress, the dancer and the bourgeoisie are dragged by the textile industry, whether in Balzac, Zola, Flaubert, Proust, Baudelaire, Lorrain, Hugo, Gautier, Daudet, the Goncourts and some others. The vestignomony allows the writer to camp the characters while revealing the characters while the eroticism of the dresses is added to the noise of fabrics.

Description :The triumph of an eternal house, seventy years after its spectacular first show.
On February 12, 1947, a young house named after its founder, Christian Dior, presented a spring-summer haute couture collection in a Paris still in the grip of winter cold. The creations were shown in a salon freshly painted in dove gray at 30 Avenue Montaigne, a historic and mythical address. This is the novelty that Dior symbolizes for fashion in general, and for Paris in particular. These codes, this visual language have fascinated the many successors of the designer: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, but especially John Galliano, and since 2017 Maria Grazia Chiuri. Their task has been, season after season, to find a new voice through the vocabulary of Dior.
