Christian Dior once said that he could have produced all of his collections in black or white. “Color cannot transform a failure of a dress into a success,” he said. For him, cut was the ultimate star and he was the king of cut, shaking up the world with his New Look and then going on to formulate the Oblique line, the Oval line, the Profile line, the Princess line, the H line, the A line and the Y line.

Today’s VPOD features a black wool coat from his Autumn/Winter 1958 collection. It’s lined in black taffeta and that extremely large collar can be put up to protect your head in the cold.

It’s a divine Dior look for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Poppy’s Vintage Clothing and Accessories.
