On 12 February #1947, #Dior launched his first #fashioncollection for Spring–Summer 1947. The show of "90 models of his first collection on six mannequins" was presented in the salons of the company's headquarters at 30 #AvenueMontaigne. Originally, the two lines were named "#Corolle" and "#Huit". However, the new collection went down in fashion history as the "#NewLook" after the editor-in-chief of #HarpersBazaar #CarmelSnow exclaimed, "It's such a New Look!" The silhouette was characterised by a small, nipped-in waist and a full skirt falling below mid-calf length, which emphasised the bust and hips, as epitomized by the '#Barsuit from the first collection. At a time of post-war fabric restrictions, Dior used up to twenty yards of extravagant fabrics for his creations, favoring the luxury textiles of #RobertPerrier. The New Look became extremely popular, its full-skirted silhouette influencing other fashion designers well into the #1950s, and Dior gained a number of prominent clients from Hollywood, the United States, and the European aristocracy. As a result, Paris, which had fallen from its position as the capital of the fashion world after WWII, regained its preeminence. The New Look was welcomed in western Europe as a refreshing antidote to the austerity of wartime and de-feminizing uniforms, and was embraced by stylish women such as #PrincessMargaret in the UK. According to #HaroldKoda, The Costume Institute curator in charge, #ChristianDior credited #CharlesJames with inspiring The New Look.
