women of the 19th century. In addition, it used new techniques and design methods to
reinterpret women fashion, showing a unique feminine charm. Dior presented high-
waisted garments with swimsuit-inspired tight shapes from neck to hips, which flared

from the 1920s. It was strongly affected by Asian designers, especially from Japan
and India. Human’s dressing up desire was at its peak in 1955. Women were expected
to be impeccably dressed and groomed in public or when their spouse was home, this
meant perfectly groomed hair, spotless makeup, and sets of matching accessories,
such as, hats, gloves, bags, belts, and jewelry.
