Background: THE HOUSE OF DIOR TODAY (FRIDAY) PRESENTS ITS 1970 COLLECTION- WITH FASHIONS THAT TAKE A GREAT DEAL FROM THE 1920S IN DESIGN AND IN THE CHOICE OF MATERIALS AND PATTERNS. MANY OF THE FASHIONS PRESENTED BY THE GROUP OF DESIGNERS WHO NOW WORK WITH MARC BOHAN UNDER THE NAME OF THE LATE CHRISTIAN DIOR ALSO HAVE A DISTINCT INFLUENCE OF THE ORIGINAL DIOR FASHIONS.

A BELL-SHAPED WHITE COTTON CAPE BY ABRAHAM OVER A GUIPURE LACE PINK-AND-WHITE DRESS BY BURG BLACKELL, IS A COMBINATION MADE NOT JUST FOR THE FASHION MODEL- IT IS SIMPLE AND WEARABLE.

FOR THOSE, HOWEVER, WITH MORE EXOTIC TASTES FOR EVENING- ABRAHAM HAS DESIGNED A STRAW-COLOURED FEATHER CAPE, WORN OVER A SCINTILLATING MULTI-COLOURED STRASS COCKTAIL MINI-DRESS BY LESAGE.

DEFINITELY DIOR IN LINE AND FLUIDITY - A CREPE OF CHINE PYJAMA SUIT IN PASTEL-COLOURED PAISLEY FOR THE HOSTESS "AT HOME".

HAMON'S CULOTTE DRESS IN SUEDE IS PLAIN, FUNCTIONAL AND COMFORTABLE A LARGE HAIR TASSEL ROUND THE NECK ADDED A TOUCH OF EXOTISM. TO MAKE IT A BIT MORE DRESSY FOR THE COOL OF THE EVENING - A CASHMERE SHAWL BY SAMBROOK.

IT IS NOW 23 YEARS SINCE DIOR INTRODUCED "THE NEW LOOK" - TODAY HIS NAME IS STILL EASILY THE MOST INFLUENTIAL IN PARIS HAUTE COUTURE INSOFAR AS WHAT THE WOMAN-IN-THE-STREET WAY ACTUALLY BE WEARING DURING THE COMING YEAR.
