"Venus"

Design House House of Dior Designer Christian Dior fall/winter 1949–50

Amidst the silvery spumelike net resembling sea foam, pearlescent shell-shaped scallops pronounce Venus risen from the waters. But Dior has not only evoked the story of Venus; he has also created an ideal of beauty. The sparkling splendor of such a garment is the dream of a ball gown. For Dior, fantasy was both marvelous and ideal. He strove to make an archetypal evening gown, but he was also creating the confections for the great postwar theme balls.

(via House of Dior | "Venus" | French | The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

RACE DIVERSITY

For years modelling agencies, designers & editors have tended to look to one body type and skin colour. However over the years there have been a number of black model figures who have led the way in changing the industry. There have been a number of black models making fashion history paving the way for a younger generation to feel accepted and included in fashion.

Dorothea Towels was born in Texarkana and was the first top black model to work in Paris after she was discovered by Christian Dior in 1949, becoming one of the most celebrated models in Europe. She was also a favourite amongst designers such as Pierre Balmain & Elsa Schaperelli.

Models such as Sara Lou Harris, Donyale Luna and Mounia all made historial ‘firsts’ in the industry with Harris becoming the first black model to appear in an advert campaign, Luna becoming the first black model to appear on the cover of British Vouge and Mounia became YSL’s first ever Black Muse. All of these women are inspirational figures within the industry and paved the way for many other women in the industry throughout years gone by.

Mounia with Yves Saint Laurent

Models such as Naomi Campbell, Beverly Johnson, Tyra Banks & Iman to name a few all paved the way for the younger generation we see stepping onto the runways for recent shows.

Naomi Campbell:

Naomi Campbell was one of the most in demand models during the 1980′s & 1990′s. Campbell was the first black model to cover French Vouge and Time Magazine. She still continues to have a big influence on the industry today, speaking about her own experiences of discrimination and is a huge supporter of the BLM movement, using her platform to educate others.

Naomi Campbell for Vouge UK in March 2022

Beverly Johnson

Beverly Johnson was the first ever black woman to cover American Vouge in 1974 as well as French Elle. She was named to be one of the most influential people in fashion of the 20th century. Her appearance on the cover of Vouge changed beauty standards in US print media and inspired lots of American designers to include black models on runways and in campaigns.

Beverly Johnson for US Vouge in 1974

Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks became the first black model to appear on the cover for GQ and Sports Illustrated Magazines. She was also a Victoria Secret Angel, walking the runway for them during 1997 to 2005. Tyra has now gone on to have a successful career in television producing and hosting hit tv show America’s Next Top Model and now having her own talk show, The Tyra Banks Show.

Iman

Iman is one of the most recognisable supermodels of our generation, featuring on the cover of Vouge in 1976 and becoming a muse for many designers such as Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Donna Karen & Yves Saint Laurent.

Iman wearing Saint Laurent

British model Jourdan Dunn was named model of year at the British Fashion Awards and has become one of the most successful models in recent years. She has made fashion firsts which weren't seen for many years in the industry.

She was the first black model to walk for Prada in over a decade in 2008 for their fall/winter collection.

She was also the first black model to land a solo cover for UK Vouge in over 12 years for their February issue in 2015

DEFYING THE BEAUTY STANDARDS

Alek Wek is a South Sudanese model known for defying beauty standards with many looking up to her for showing a different kind of beauty that doesn’t conform with normal standards. She started her career at the age of 18 and became the first African American model to appear on the cover of Elle. During her career she has walked runways for brands such as Calvin Klein, Valentino and Marc Jacobs.

Aaron Rose Phillip is a Antiguan-American model with a big presence amongst the fashion industry. She became the first black, trans model with a disability to be represented by a major modelling agency in 2018. She made her New York Fashion Week debut for Moschino in their Spring 22 show. She wanted to enter the industry to allow others to find themselves on runways and in magazines as this is something she could not do when she was younger.

Dior gowns are some of my favorites! If you happen to be a fan as well, what are some of your top picks? Love your blog :)

I love Dior! I got into the label when John Galliano was at the helm, so his over the top couture gowns are some of my favorites. I also always seem to put the two red dresses in lists, but they’re honestly two of my all time favorites. If I ever had an occasion that called for a ball gown in my life, I would want one from the 2012 collection. It was hard to pick my favorites because there are so many, but these are the ten that I would love to wear myself (except the Junon and Venus dresses, since I don’t think anyone is allowed to wear those).

Christian Dior Detail of “Venus” gown fall/winter 1949–50 Silk, sequins, rhinestones, simulated pearls on foggy gray silk tulle Rebé embroidery, more than that of any other embroidery house, evinced a fine 18th-century sensibility compatible with Dior’s profound longing for the past. Only four years after World War II, the artisanal trades had fully recovered, rendering to the couture materials and applications as rich as before. As Dior restored a grand silhouette, he also reinstated artisanal luxury. Even the most subtle molded paillettes and graduated sequins were available and were used by Dior.
