Imagine a time when the name Chanel was virtually unknown. When the name Dior wasn`t a synonym of class. A few years shy of the New Look. The dawn of the French Couture age created some of the most timeless dresses and fashions. However, this fantastic growth and fashion would take a small, imposed break.

The magazine source I have used is from March 1939. In September 1939, World War II broke out with the invasion of Poland. Couture fashions would have to wait until after 1945 to see some of their fashions mavens be reborn again.
