1950s women’s fashion style<\/a> was the birth of American fashion and today, is one of the most popular vintage trends to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe. After World War II ended in 1945, the doors for American fashion designers opened wide with stylish opportunity. The haute couture houses of fashion in Paris stopped producing designs during the war, so by the mid ’40s  their influence had waned. In their place, vintage designers like Bonnie Cashin, Ceil Chapman and Pauline Trigere were introduced to women’s closets in the ’50s. The ’50s was an era for new blood in the design world, but before America gained fashion ground European designer Christian Dior released his “New Look” collection in 1947 that laid the foundation for all of 19<\/a>50s women’s fashion<\/a> design. Embraced for re-defining the female silhouette, the New Look collection (also called the “Corolle” line as dubbed by LIFE<\/em> Magazine)  introduced styles designed with full skirts that dropped below the knee, tightly nipped to emphasize a woman’s waist.<\/p>\n
