An emblematic Dior New Look piece
The "Bar" jacket, a true fashion icon, is one of Maison Dior's most emblematic creations. First presented in 1947, it symbolizes the New Look revolution initiated by Christian Dior, radically transforming the post-war feminine silhouette.
With its notched collar and sculptural cut, the "Bar" jacket broke with the strict codes of the time. It moves away from rigid military uniforms and introduces a more glamorous, sophisticated style:
- Sloping shoulders for a more natural silhouette
- Curved waistline to enhance feminine curves
- Tailored to sculpt the silhouette with elegance
Conceived as a revolution in clothing, it brought a touch of femininity and luxury, contrasting with the austere styles of the post-war years.
A timeless piece, reinvented for every era
Since its creation, the "Bar" jacket has been regularly reinterpreted by Dior's Artistic Directors. From Marc Bohan to Maria Grazia Chiuri, via Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano and Raf Simons, each has given it a modern touch while preserving its essence. Every season, it adapts to trends without losing its timeless signature.
The Dior bee: a signature detail charged with symbolism
Christian Dior saw thebee as a symbol of strength and energy, likening his home to a hive in perpetual effervescence, a place of creation and inspiration.
Today, this lucky motif can be found on numerous garments, bags and accessories, alongside the House's other emblematic symbols: star, lily of the valley and four-leaf clover.
