This dress is incredible. Shaped at the front and loose at the back. That is a couture shape.

The fact that he was so young and capable of creating clothing as such is a true testament to his strength as a designer. He was kind of like a designers designer, if you will. Just so strong and sure of his work, even though his personality may have begged to differ. Some of the best work the House of Dior has ever seen!
