interiors and decor magazine: Anne Goetzinger

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The January 2, 2015, edition of the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> features an article about graphic novelists who are reaching out to a female audience. "<a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-new-wave-of-graphic-novels-1420048910" target="_blank">The New Wave of Graphic Novels</a>" by Jennifer Maloney mentions <i>Girl in Dior</i> by Anne Goetzinger, who has been described as "one of the <i>Grandes Dames</i> of French comics." Ms. Goetzinger grew up in a family of dressmakers before beginning her career as an illustrator. Her book, which has been published in France as <i>Jeune Fille en Dior</i>, will be published by <a href="http://www.nbmpub.com/comingup/comaug.html#DIOR" target="_blank">NBM</a> in the United States in March 2015. This graphic novel, which features a girl named Clara, takes place in Paris on February 12, 1947, the day of Christian Dior's first couture show. The story relates the history of the House of Dior while describing Clara's transformation from young reporter to <i>jeune fille</i>, the term for a Dior house model. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some photos:</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The American press immediately dubbed it the ‘New Look.’ The ‘Bar’ suit was considered the most iconic model in the collection, manifesting all the attributes of Dior’s dramatic atavism. Although Dior created many notched collars, he was a fervent advocate of shawl collars and curved necklines. Arguably, the shawl collar plays effectively with the curvaceous forms Dior articulated at the shoulders and hips. The full pleated calf-length skirt, of black wool, is a replica of the original skirt of the suit. Marc Bohan ordered it made up in the Dior workroom to complete the suit for The Costume Institute Collections.” </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/C.I.58.34.30_C.I.69.40" target="_blank">Photo</a> via The Metropolitan Museum of Art website.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The "Bar Suit" even made an appearance in a Dior Toile produced by F.
