Reimagining the Dior Bar Jacket | a modern take on an iconic silhouette (part 1)

The Dior Bar Jacket is a fashion icon, originally introduced in 1947 as part of Christian Dior’s groundbreaking ‘New Look’. But what does it take to recreate and reinterpret this legendary silhouette with a modern twist? In this Master Series episode, I dive deep into: ✔️ The history and cultural impact of the Bar Jacket ✔️ Draping and pattern-making from scratch ✔️ Exploring textile choices, including a vintage blanket ✔️ Hand-sewing techniques used in couture construction ✔️ Sustainable design elements and contemporary updates This project is a blend of historical recreation, personal experimentation, and couture craftsmanship. Was I able to bring the Bar Jacket into the 21st century? Let’s find out. 🔔 New here?
