The first collection of Christian Dyer for Spring 1947, presented at the Salon of 30 Avenue Montengen on 12 February of that year, inspired the following from the famous editor Carmel Snow: “My dear Christian, is such a new form of your clothes!” The rest, as we now know, has history.
The novel dress in the question was a wide A-line skirt and a “bar jacket”, characterized by a low waist, padded and round hips and round shoulders. It is a unique, recognizable perspective on elegance and a decisive moment in sartorial history. Around eight decades, “New Look” continues to mark A in fashion before and after the true signature of the House of Dyer -Raf Simmons had its own version, Maria Grazia Chiuri investigated deeply during his tenure, and even designed the Mainevier Collection of Ghar Jones, which has already designed this year before Kim Jones, who has already designed this year. Jonathan Anderson will definitely give it his spin at some point. Such is the power of a brand icon.
Nevertheless, when Women’swear of Mahashya Dyer has left an indelible impression on fashion, a defined profile in the home menswear is low. For the beginning, it has changed its name almost several times because it had designers: Christian dyer from Mahasya to dyer Homme to dyer men. This does not mean that it has no effect: the true power of Dyer Menswear is present as a kind of creative laboratory within one of the premiere labels of fashion. The common division of its designers has to challenge and reconsider the corresponding position for men in the soul in the same soul as the “new look” of Mahashya Dyer.
Christian Dyer is credited in history for its first collection’s famous silhouette, but it is not always recognized for the way their business-minded enterprises have helped shape the industry today. Dyer launched a footwear line designed by fragrance, satellite offices (New York in 1948), Roger Viveer (1953), and even its own Little dictionary of fashion (1954). Maybe he may not have expanded his label to ready-to-wier with Miss Dior or Children’swear with Baby Dyer, both in 1967, nor menswear after that decade; Dyer died in 1957. But their influence remained. With Jonathan Anderson climbing the role of Christian Dyer’s only creative director with his debut menwear show on Friday, 27 June, we are re -looking at the history of Dyer’s Mainevier to find out its effects.
1969: Christian Dior Mahasya
Christian Dyer died of a heart attack in Italy in October 1957. Since 1955, his first assistant, Yaves St. Laurent, was appointed as the creative director of the House as per his wishes. The tenure was short -lived. Mark Bohan, a designer for Jean Patio, who joined Dyer in 1958 as a creative director of the House’s London a subsidiary, made St. Laurent successful as a creative director. Bohan Dyer’s longest serving creative director, who clocking in about 30 years, became omnipresent as a new form in his time “Slim Look”.
Dyer’s first men Khushboo, “EO Sowse”, was released in 1966, and Bohan launched the first official men’s line Christian Dyer Monsier in 1969. The first collection was the “boutique sage” for the 1970 season. The line was later designed by Christian Benis and then Gerrard Penrax, and was not re -looked after by the same creative director as women till date with Anderson’s appointment.
